The Just Peace Foundation, established by G-Dragon (G-DRAGON), the leader of the group BIGBANG, is partnering with RED FRYS (Gangwon Red Prizes) to convey gratitude and encouragement to heroes who have dedicated themselves to the safety of the nation and its citizens through music.

According to the Just Peace Foundation and RED FRYS on the 21st, they will run a 'RED FRYS Hero Recovery Program' inviting 300 uniformed public officials to the 'Gangwon RED FRYS 2026' event scheduled to be held at Gyeongpo Beach in Gangneung, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, on the 24th.

This program is being carried out for uniformed public officials serving in the Gangwon region for the safety of the nation and its citizens, through channels such as the Ministry of National Defense and the National Police Agency. The Just Peace Foundation plans to provide concert tickets to a total of 300 individuals, including military personnel, police officers, and coast guard members, to convey messages of gratitude and encouragement through culture and the arts.

This invitation was arranged as part of the 'Hero Recovery' project, a key public interest initiative of the Just Peace Foundation. The foundation has continued various activities supporting the mental health and recovery of uniformed public officials who dedicate themselves to protecting the lives and safety of citizens, as well as their families.

In particular, having promoted art therapy programs for firefighters and their families since 2025, the foundation is expanding opportunities for recovery and encouragement through culture and the arts to military personnel, police, and coast guard members through this collaboration with RED FRYS. In that regard, Kangwon Land also cooperated in inviting coast guard officers, firefighters, and police officers from the Gangwon region who had participated in its 'Hero Rest Program' operated thus far.

This program was designed to allow those who protect citizens' safety and peace in their daily lives to step away from work for a while, enjoy music, and have time for rest and recharging. Accordingly, by supporting concert attendance, the Just Peace Foundation and RED FRYS aim to convey gratitude to the heroes of our society and create an occasion to collectively remember their dedication.

The program is also significant in that it is being held in Gangwon Province, a region with deep meaning for the security and peace of South Korea. Both parties stated, "The peaceful daily lives we enjoy are maintained by the silent dedication of many people working behind the scenes," adding, "We hope this concert will convey gratitude and encouragement to heroes who strive for the nation and its citizens, and serve as a time of joy and recharging, at least for a moment."

FRONTROW, which plans and produces RED FRYS, stated, "Behind our daily lives where we freely enjoy music and culture are those who dedicate themselves to the nation and its citizens," adding, "Through this collaboration with the Just Peace Foundation, we have planned to convey gratitude and encouragement specifically to military personnel, police officers, firefighters, and coast guard members serving in Gangwon Province." They further expressed, "We expect RED FRYS to grow into a cultural platform that connects people and regions through music, going beyond simply enjoying performances, and conveys positive energy to those who dedicate themselves to our society."

The 'Gangwon RED FRYS 2026' will be held on the 24th at the Central Plaza of Gyeongpo Beach in Gangneung, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. Domestic hip-hop artists including Dynamic Duo, Vankey, GREE, Brown Tiger, Minos & Huckleberry Pie, as well as Hanhae, Sleepy, Chita, Puffitboi, and Mangrove will participate to present a diverse stage. As a festival combining music, region, and lifestyle, it is expected to offer audiences a unique festival experience against the backdrop of Gangneung's autumn sea.
