Singer AOORA stepped forward as a bridge for cultural exchange connecting South Korea and India, delivering a successful performance.
AOORA was officially invited to perform at the "National Day of the Republic of Korea 2026" reception hosted by the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Mumbai, held in India on the 23rd. According to an official, the reception, organized by Consul General Yoo Dong-wan of the Republic of Korea in Mumbai, was attended by a large number of key figures from the political and business sectors of South Korea and India, as well as diplomatic officials, who commemorated the National Day of the Republic of Korea and reflected on the significance of friendship and exchange between the two nations.
The official stated, "AOORA participated in her capacity as a symbolic artist who has consistently been active in India and served to connect the cultures of both countries, singing the national anthems of the Republic of Korea and India in sequence."
At the formal event attended by key figures from both nations, AOORA stated, "I hope that the friendship between South Korea and India will grow even deeper in the future."
Rajesh Gawande, Chief of Protocol for the Government of Maharashtra, who attended as a guest of honor, specifically mentioned AOORA's rendition of the Indian national anthem in his official congratulatory address.
Chief of Protocol Rajesh stated, "Although the language and pronunciation systems of Korean and the Indian national anthem are vastly different, making it by no means an easy song for a Korean person to perform, AOORA handled it very excellently."
The official added, "For some time now, AOORA has been actively communicating with local audiences through music, performances, and various cultural content activities centered in India. By actively integrating Indian music and culture based on K-POP, AOORA has broadened cultural touchpoints. Through her performance at this official diplomatic stage, she further solidified her symbolism as an artist connecting the two countries."
AOORA stated, "It was very meaningful and I am grateful to have been able to directly sing the national anthems of the Republic of Korea and India at such a prestigious occasion. I will continue to work hard in my activities going forward."
