First
lady Kim Yoon-ok will host a music concert and other cultural events
for the spouses of foreign leaders attending next week’s Nuclear
Security Summit, the organizing committee said Friday.
Seventeen spouses are scheduled to
travel to Seoul with heads of state and leaders of international
organizations for the global conference slated for Monday and Tuesday,
according to the committee.
The summit will be one of the largest
international events South Korea has ever hosted. Representatives from
58 nations and four international organizations, including 45 heads of
state, are expected to attend.
The spouse program will begin Monday
with a visit to the National Museum of Korea in central Seoul to view
some of the most cherished Korean historic treasures. Later in the day,
the spouses will watch a classical music concert performed by some of
the country’s young musical prodigies.
On Tuesday, Kim will invite the spouses
to the presidential office for a performance, titled “Queen’s Morning,”
which will feature “hanbok,” a traditional Korean costume. A pop music concert by boy band “JYJ” and Korean ballad singer Seong Si-kyung is also scheduled for the same day.
“The
program (for the spouses) features an array of traditional Korean
culture, classical music and Korean pop culture,” an official at the
committee said. “Kim has asked the organizers to focus on introducing
K-pop stars and young Korean talents.”
