In Korea, bands play near the border to promote unity and hope.
In South Korea, the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival is held annually near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which divides North and South Korea. The festival brings together Korean and international musicians to perform near symbolic sites of division, aiming to promote reconciliation, awareness, and cultural diplomacy. Over time, the event has grown, bringing seminars, cross-border dialogue, and shared musical experiences in a place where conflict constraints are particularly pronounced.
