The Korea Tourism Organization tells us about the Jeonju Bibim Sound Festa (전주비빔사운드페스타), a "Delicious, Bibimbap-like Festival of Music" on Friday, May 21st:
Like Korea’s beloved food bibimbap (비빔밥), from which the event gets its name, the festival is a mixture of everybody’s favorites! It celebrates some of the most beloved ‘old’ and the ‘new’ aspects of Korean culture by showcasing trendy and modern genres of music (think clubs in Hongik University area) in the setting of the tradition Hanok Village in Jeonju, a historical jewel.
That's a really shitty name, though, Christ. If somebody at the KTO had paid me a few bucks I would have told them to just call it "전주비빔밤," with it written out in English so people don't think it's a typo. 밤, meaning night, is more clever 사운드 (sound), and a better fit next to 비빔, if they insist on keeping the reference to the city's representative food.
The lineup includes TV Yellow, Ynot?, I&I Jangdan, and Kingston Rudieska, among others and some DJs. There's a 10,000 won cover charge, with performances at the Confucian academy (전주향교)---in the vicinity of the Hanok Village---and Nambu Market. A little more information available via the KTO article and the event's Korean-language Naver cafe.

They might confuse night with chestnut. So mixed chestnut enthusiasts might show up and be disappointed by all of the music.
Hundreds of subscribers and thoussands of visitors, and nobody pointed out I had written March 21st?
