While the full cast announcement earlier in the year raised hopes among international fans, the sequential release of several teaser videos on the KBS K-pop YouTube channel has also garnered interest.
First, a teaser video featuring MC and actress Gong Seung-yeon was published. Gong Seung-yeon uses the UNESCO World Heritage site of Jongmyo Shrine as a backdrop in the film to highlight the splendor of Korea’s cultural treasures.
The phrase “Joseon actor who went to Yeonggili” also highlighted the shared cultural heritage of Korea and the United Kingdom.
Additionally, Jannabi’s teaser video was also released. In anticipation of their performance at Wembley, Choi Jeong-hoon said, “I feel like my dream has been half-fulfilled by being able to perform at Wembley, which I have longed for,” while Kim Do-hyung remarked, “I am excited to share the music of children who grew up listening to British music in Korea.”
The Xdinary Heroes trailer has finally been unveiled. Jooyeon, the bassist, transforms into a different person onstage, and his fiery performances are gaining him worldwide acclaim.
In particular, Jannabi and Xdinary Heroes are expected to perform entirely live in honor of their status as a “Chosun Band” on this day. To celebrate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and the UK, the first presentation of Korea’s cultural treasures, titled “Korea on Stage,” will take place in London this year.
Singer-songwriter Henry Moodie will be performing alongside ATEEZ, P1Harmony, STAYC, Jannabi, Lee Young Ji, Xdinary Heroes, xikers, BOYNEXTDOOR, Yageum Yageum, and xikers at this Gong Seung-yeon-hosted event. You can expect to hear well-known songs from both Korea and the United Kingdom performed, giving you a sense of the warm musical interaction that has taken place between the two countries.
