The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Choi Hwi-young) announced that it will hold a "2026 New Year's Concert" at the Concert Hall of the Seoul Arts Center at 7 p.m. on the 7th to mark the new year of the disease in 2026.

Under the theme of "Strong and Dynamic Energy Opening a New Era," this New Year's concert will showcase the present and bright future of Korea, which has grown into a culture and arts powerhouse. The Culture and Arts Policy Advisory Committee, which was launched in 2025, members of the Popular Culture Exchange Committee, as well as key figures in the culture and arts industry and legislative, judicial, and administrative sectors, will also sell tickets to the general audience.

The first door of the concert will be opened with the song "壽齊 Resounds" by composer Choi Woo-jung, who won the 2025 Culture and Arts Award. Through this song, I wish you a long and peaceful life like the sky in the new year of 2026. Subsequently, performers who are drawing attention on the world stage will perform together. Violinist Lim Ji-young, who won the Queen Elizabeth International Competition in 2015, will present Saint Saens' "Seoju and Rondo Capricioso" in G minor (Op. 28), and piano players Lee Hyuk and Lee Hyo, who have made headlines by participating in the Chopin International Competition until the third round, will present Bach's "Concert for Two Pistons" in multi-minor (BWV 1062). Hong Seok-won, a professor and conductor of Seoul National University's College of Music, and the KBS Symphony Orchestra will also join.

You can also meet major music from "K-drama" and "K-Animation," which have captured the hearts of Koreans as well as people around the world. Kim Soo-in, a member of the National Changgeuk Company, and Gil Byung-min, a vocalist who won the 2016 International Vocal Competition in Toulouse, France, will sing Jeju folk songs "Nayoung Na-young" and "To the Land of Hope" from the drama "Fully Believed," and "Golden" and "Soda Pop," which are representative inserts of the animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters" and ranked first and third on the Billboard charts, respectively, will also be presented as orchestral songs. It is expected that creative variations that cross the boundaries of the field will once again confirm the narrative and artistic potential of "K-Content" on the classical stage.

After that, a stage will be followed to show the roots of Korea, a cultural powerhouse, with the luscious melody and loud drumming of our songs. The National Choir and Youth Education Members include "I Hana Flower Bloom" written by Yoon Hak-joon in Cho Dong-hwa's poem, and "Ah!" written and composed by Woo Hyo-won! He sings "Geongon Gamri" of "Korea" and decorates the grand finale of the performance.

Tickets for the "2026 New Year's Concert" will be sold for the second time from 2 p.m. on January 2, following the first sale on the Seoul Arts Center's website and play ticket last year. In addition, it will be broadcast nationwide at 5:40 p.m. on the 11th through Korean Broadcasting Channel 1 (KBS 1TV).
