Reports indicate that the second contingent of Korean artistes, slated to participate in the Nay Pyi Taw Walking Thingyan event, arrived in Yan­gon yesterday evening. Their visit aims to foster cultural exchange and feature perfor­mances at the traditional My­anmar Thingyan Festival.

 

Comprising five Korean artistes led by DJ/Performer Lee Saemi, the group landed at Yangon International Airport and received a warm welcome from officials of Myanma Radio and Television. Welcoming staff waved the flags of both coun­tries and held placards bearing the photos and names of the artistes.

 

The artistes will be accom­modated at Thamada Hotel be­fore their departure for Nay Pyi Taw on 12 April. Another group of 19 K-pop artistes is sched­uled to arrive in Yangon on 14 April, with plans to perform at the Friday Night Live Show on 12 April. — MNA/TRKM
