An online concert featuring a large number of K-POP singers will be held on the 31st to oppose the racial discrimination and hatred that have rapidly increased amid the spread of COVID-19.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it plans to hold the "Live Together Live Concert" online on the 31st starting at 11 AM, in cooperation with UNESCO, to oppose racial discrimination.

Famous singers such as NCT DREAM, MONSTA X, Ailee, Jung Seung-hwan, Tiger JK, Dynamic Duo, and Insooni will participate in this concert.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has begun promoting the concert through Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8FfSnH6tI/?utm_medium=copy_link), and prior to the concert streaming, they plan to sequentially upload songs by the participating singers through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' channels such as YouTube this week.

The "Live Together" campaign, which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UNESCO have been conducting on social media since April 12th, was planned to respond through international solidarity to the racial discrimination and hatred that have rapidly increased since COVID-19, especially the crimes targeting Asians that have increased in the United States.

The social media campaign has seen a series of participations from prominent figures, including former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, actors Ahn Sung-ki, Kim Hye-soo, and Kim So-yeon, and NCT's Johnny.

To participate in the campaign, take a photo holding the campaign logo and upload it to your personal social media account along with a message and hashtags, then designate 2-3 subsequent participants.
