The Busan Metropolitan Government will hold the opening ceremony of the 20th National Sports Festival for Students with Disabilities at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium on the 12th, kicking off four days of competition.
The event marks the first time the festival has been held in Busan since its inception, with about 5,000 athletes from across the country competing in 17 events.
The opening ceremony will be staged as a festival with citizens, featuring a congratulatory performance by singer Haha, and is open to the public free of charge.
The 55th National Youth Sports Festival will begin with an opening ceremony at 5 p.m. on the 22nd and run through the 26th.
Notably, this year marks the resumption of the Youth Sports Festival opening ceremony for the first time in 16 years, after it had been suspended to protect student athletes' right to education.
