On 7 December, the Fuengirola Fairgrounds will host a free event celebrating south korean culture in honour of the third anniversary of the K-Pop Fuengirola association. The event will run from 12:00 to 21:30 and is organised by the Youth Department of Fuengirola City Council.
Isaac Vargas, the councillor for Youth, announced the event alongside association representatives Sara Alexa and Adara Martínez. They revealed that the celebration will take place at the Youth Pavilion within the fairgrounds, with free entry until capacity is reached.
“We are celebrating the third anniversary of K-Pop Fuengirola, an organisation that collaborates with us throughout the year and participates in various events. Every 7 December, they celebrate their anniversary, and we want to continue supporting them,” Vargas stated.
Vargas also highlighted the growth of the association and the excitement surrounding its initiatives. “It is a young organisation that is continuously growing. Even before announcing this event, there was already significant interest among fans of korean culture in Málaga province and throughout Andalucía, who are eager to come to Fuengirola to participate,” he added.
According to Sara Alexa, the day will kick off with various workshops and will feature one of the main attractions: a dance competition for young fans of the genre. The programme will culminate in a popular random dance activity, where attendees can showcase their dance skills by following choreographies to randomly played songs.
Additionally, Adara Martínez detailed that the venue will include various stands offering artisanal products and a travel advisor. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in free workshops for making keychains, temporary tattoos, and colouring drawings. The event will be complemented by stalls offering traditional korean food and drink, providing a taste of the culture of the Asian country.
For those interested in participating in the dance competition, pre-registration is required by sending an email to kpopfuengirola@gmail.com. Participants must include their name, age, and the chosen song for the competition. For minors, parental or guardian consent must also be attached.
