Jinusean and Diva to hold Gyeongju Summer Night Concert on August 26

90s Retro Fever Delivered by Jinusean and Diva

On August 26 at 8 PM, the Hwarang Hall of the Gyeongju Arts Center will be heated up by the nostalgia of 90s pop music. The ‘Summer Night Concert with Culture Day, hosted by KHNP’—organized by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) and managed by the Gyeongju Cultural Foundation—will take place.

The core of this stage features legendary artists who led the golden age of the Korean music industry. The hip-hop duo Jinusean (Chae Ri-na, Jini, Lee Min-kyung), who drove the popularization of Korean hip-hop with mega-hits like 'Tell Me' and 'Telephone Number,' will showcase their signature explosive energy.

The first-generation female warrior dance group Diva will also take the stage. Having dominated the music scene with addictive melodies such as 'Why Call Me' and 'Up & Down,' they plan to raise the heat of the performance with powerful performances.

The foundation aims to sophisticatedly reinterpret the retro vibes that graced the late 90s and early 2000s. This is a strategic move to build a generation-integrated viewing environment by delivering deep nostalgia to the 3040 generation and fresh "newtro" cultural stimulation to the MZ generation.

Summer Night: Established as Gyeongju's Representative Summer Brand

The ‘Summer Night’ series, which has established itself as a representative summer seasonal brand in Gyeongju since 2023, continues this year. This performance was planned through organic collaboration between a public institution and a private foundation.

It is part of a public cultural administration initiative to expand the local emotional infrastructure and secure stay-over floating populations. Gyeongju, a self-reliant city where industry and culture coexist, will significantly expand cultural enjoyment opportunities for residents through this large-scale popular music festival.

An official from the Gyeongju Cultural Foundation stated, “This Summer Night Concert will be a special venue for communication, layering the dynamism of modern pop music onto the historical narrative of the thousand-year Seorabeol.” They added, “We will do our utmost to ensure on-site security and quarantine management so that both citizens and tourists can enjoy the performance safely and comfortably, striving to complete Gyeongju as a cultural and arts city that people want to visit again.”
