An attempt to unite the city’s cultural contents with the Korean Wave gave birth to a work of “Made in Busan ” through a public contest. Local artists and citizens will come together at several venues – One Asia Flash mob, “Daedongeul tamhada (to desire the great unity)” in Busan Citizen Park; “Dongnae Hanryangmu (traditional male dance in Busan) - not forcing, acting spontaneously” in Dongnae Byeljang; and “EDM Festival, Yaryu ,” a fusion of Yaryu (a traditional field play in Busan) and modern music in Yongdusan Park.

The BOF creates a memorable time for foreign visitors with the essence of the Korean Wave in Busan .
