"Nakwon Supporters" will spotlight the value of the city's oldest and largest musical instrument arcade, holding about 300 stores, as a go-to place for musicians. Supporters will be selected in two batches, in the first and second halves of the year. The first round of applications closes May 1 and selected participants will be active from May to June.
Candidates who are selected as supporters are given free use of the building's rehearsal studio and a monthly stipend. Supporters will share their views or stories related to Nakwon Arcade on social media channels. They will be encouraged to hold busking performances in the Insa-dong and Nakwon-dong region and given the chance to perform at the outdoor stage on the fourth floor of the building.
Those interested may apply online through Nakwon Arcade's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/nakwonmusic) or blog (http://blog.naver.com/enakwon). Applicants may choose from acoustic band, ensemble or brass and each team must consist of two to five members.
