Q: What were the impressive memories that you experienced at the festival ?
A: At the festival, I enjoyed my first concert in Korea and it was also one of my first experiences with Korean music. Before the festival, I was not very familiar with Korean pop or Korean rap. It was amazing to get to know more about Korean music and experience it live! I definitely found a new interest in Korean hip-hop. Also, my friends and I had a great time. We enjoyed the music and it inspired us to attend some other festivals in the future.

Q: What part of the festival would you like to recommend to your friends?
A: My friends and I are big fans of hip-hop and rap music. I have sent them many videos from the festival and they loved them! I enjoyed introducing them to a new version of the music we usually listen to together. Moreover, the festival experience here at CNU was different compared to festivals I have visited in Europe. People here were more respectable and calm, so no one was pushing me and I had my own space. It was very interesting to experience a different side of a music festival and I will tell my friends all about it.

Q: Are there any tips to enjoy the festival better?
A: Honestly, I really enjoyed the festival and I cannot complain! Possibly, my only recommendation would be to provide more drinks and food stalls. Besides, I think it was incredible to enjoy live music, dance, and spend time with my friends.
