The NC Cultural Foundation and the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on August 4 to promote cultural and artistic activities in Seoul. This agreement aims to expand stages for artists to create and present their work, while providing citizens with opportunities to enjoy high-quality cultural experiences. The two organizations plan to build a close and organic cooperation system across various cultural and artistic fields.

Located in Daehangno, the center of culture and arts, the two organizations are collaborating on the 'Dae-Rak-Ro' campaign to revitalize the district. They will continue to identify cooperative models for expanding creative foundations for artists and revitalizing culture and arts in the Seoul area, while gradually scaling up joint projects, performance exchanges, and artist network cooperation.

In the second half of the year, works discovered through the NC Cultural Foundation's youth artist support platform, STAGE 100, will be presented at the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture's pre-performance showcase, 'Seasonal Theater'. Discussions are also underway regarding supplementary content that audiences can enjoy after watching the performances.

Park Myeong-jin, Chairperson of the NC Cultural Foundation, stated, "We expect to create significant synergy by combining the cultural and artistic expertise and resources of both organizations," adding, "We will focus on implementing practical programs that inject vitality into the local community, such as the Daehangno revitalization campaign."

The NC Cultural Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2012 to mark the 15th anniversary of NC, aimed at systematic and sustainable social responsibility activities. It carries out various social contribution projects with the goal of creating a creative and inclusive cultural ecosystem for the qualitative leap of our society.
