The collaborative event, organised by Da Nang’s People’s Committee and the South Korean Embassy in Viet Nam, will feature traditional dance, drum performances and folk songs from the Traditional Arts Inheritance Association of Korea, as well as romantic Vietnamese songs.

 

The culture exchange, which aims to promote culture and tourism between Viet Nam and South Korea, starts at 7pm. Tickets are free.

 

Korean artists will also give scholarships and school facilities to poor students at Hoa Sơn Primary School in Hoa Vang District on Thursday.

 

Last year, the city hosted a South Korean-Vietnamese cultural exchange including hanbok-wearing, folk games, a photo exhibition, art performances and film screenings.

 

South Korean tourists are the second largest demographic of foreign tourists in the city.

 

Budget airline carrier Jeju Air launched its new air route connecting Da Nang with Incheon, while Korean Air Busan introduced a chartered flight between the city and Busan in 2014.
