The 18th Busan Port Festival will be held from May 30 to 31 at key venues around Busan Port, including the International Passenger Terminal, Bukhang Waterside Park, and the National Maritime Museum in Yeongdo.

This year’s festival features a renewed focus on Hallyu content through its collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s “MyK FESTA” project.

A major highlight is the K-pop concert on May 30 at 7 p.m., featuring a star-studded lineup including Super Junior-D&E, CNBLUE, N.Flying, ITZY, Kyungseo, Dori, and ZOZAZZ. The performance will be followed by a Busan Port Fireworks Show lighting up the harbor nightscape.

The festival kicks off that morning with a conference on “AI and the Music Industry” at the Wyndham Grand Busan, bringing together industry experts to explore the future of K-pop and technology.

On May 31, families can enjoy programs at the Global Port Park, K-pop cover dance stages, boat tours, and a mission stamp tour at the National Maritime Museum. These experiences offer cultural insights and hands-on activities reflecting the maritime and global themes of Busan Port.

Concert tickets go on sale May 7 at 7 p.m. via Melon Ticket. For full details, visit the Busan Festival Organizing Committee website.
