The competition will serve as a warm-up event for athletes as they prepare for the SEA Games 2021 and Tokyo Olympic.

The "Korean Cultural Day" event will be held at the An Hoi Sculpture Garden in Hoi An ancient city, featuring an array of cultural performances, cuisine, and traditional arts of the RoK and Hoi An city.

South Korean violin artist JMI KO, singers Seok Hun and Hansara, and K-pop dance troupe will perform at the event.

South Korean violist Jmi Ko has become familiar to Vietnamese audiences through the violin version of Xin Chào Việt Nam (Hello Việt Nam), which has received nearly five million views on YouTube since its release in 2016.

With 30 years of experience of performance, Ko decided to embark the journey of inspiring and promoting Vietnamese music and nature to international friends last year. She is currently working as a music teacher at HCM City.

Prior to the event, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea (RoK) to Vietnam Park Noh-wan hoped that the event will be a bridge that contributes to bringing the people of the two countries closer over the barriers of culture and language.
