The rice has ripened, and we bow our heads to the high, blue skies of this season.
It is autumn, the time when we always come together for the Busan International Dance Market.
Over the years, the Busan International Dance Market(BIDAM) has played a significant role
as a platform for dance connecting Busan and the world, fostering artistic exchanges.
Despite the various challenges, it has continued thanks to the encouragement
of artists and supporters who have shown boundless passion for creativity.
I would like to express my heartful gratitude.
Above all, I send the warmest greetings to the young Korean artists
who have been active in various countries through BIDAM.
In June 2023, festivals in Slovenia and Poland, and in December to Israel,
where rising Korean artists presented and will present outstanding works.
I look forward to meet more prosperous stage for the performing arts
by collaborating with the 1st Busan International Performing Arts Market this year.
I hope that the meaning and value of life will be rediscovered
in the powerful and beautiful world of dance.
At BIDAM, the pure movements and energy of dancers from all over the world converge,
and my aspiration is to share beautiful blessings with their stages.
Thank you.
