Since Hakchon Theater (artistic director: Kim Min-gi)opened on March 15, 1991, it has been the birthplace for live concerts and a variety of experimental art performances. Behind its continuous influence on the local art scene lies Kim Min-gi, iconic singer, director and president of the theater. Now better known as cultural incubator for children’s shows and its representative rock musical “Line 1,” the theater is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its foundation. To mark the occasion, a variety of celebratory events are planned for this month. In 1996, a second Hakchon Theater (186 seats) opened in the same area. The original theater was renamed Hakchon Blue, while the new one was named Hakchon Green.
