On May 23rd, Kumho Art Hall Yonsei will host a memorial concert for Park Sung-yong, the honorary chairman of the Kumho Group, known as 'the Medici of Korea'. Park was well-known for his support of cultural and artistic developments in Korea. He established programs like the "Kumho Young Talent Concert" to nurture young musicians, which continues to aid budding talents like pianist Son Yeol-eum. This year marks the 20th anniversary of his passing, with Son, a renowned pianist who was particularly cherished by Park, organizing a tribute concert. The concert will feature pieces that have symbolized Son's artistic journey.
