HA NOI (VNS) — Vietnamese and South Korean pop artists will perform at a festival jointly organised by the culture, sports and tourism ministry, the South Korean embassy and the Korean Association in Ha Noi.

The artists who will perform are Viet Nam's Minh Hang and Thanh Duy, and Baek Ji-young, Jung Jun-ha and the Nolza Band from South Korea.

The two-day festival, which will focus on food and culture, will provide visitors a chance to sample authentic Vietnamese and Korean food.

"It will be wonderful to see everyone enjoy the activities, art and cuisine that the festival will offer," a representative of the organisation board said.

There will be traditional music and dance performances, as well as Vietnamese and Korean folk games.

A talent contest was launched by the Korean Cultural Centre on Monday as part of the festival, in which Vietnamese youth can express their love for Korea through videos clips they produce.

The contest winner will be announced on Sunday night. The festival aims to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the establishment of ties between Viet Nam and South Korea, and will be held at My Dinh National Stadium on Saturday and Sunday. — VNS
