The movement of Choi Ho-jong, who leads K-dance, is unusual.
The dancer and choreographer Choi Ho-jong (31), who won the Mnet dance competition program 'Stage Fighter' last year, will take the opening stage at the 16th E Daily Strategy Forum (EDAILY Strategy Forum·ESF). Choi Ho-jong has signaled that he will enhance the forum's quality by leading a meeting of knowledge and art with a groundbreaking performance.
The domestic representative knowledge conference '16th E Daily Strategy Forum (EDAILY Strategy Forum·ESF),' for which Choi Ho-jong will be responsible for the opening, will be held over two days on June 18-19 at the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. This event, launched by the comprehensive media E Daily to commemorate its 10th anniversary in 2010, seeks solutions to demographic crises such as low birth rates, aging, and regional extinction under the theme 'Inverted population pyramid...finding a pathway in the pivot.'
On the first day of the forum, June 18, Choi Ho-jong will perform a dance performance with keywords that fit the forum, including △population crisis △solidarity and cooperation △gender equality △intergenerational harmony. Through unique choreography that transcends genres and boundaries and reflects Choi Ho-jong's worldview, he plans to present a high-level performance not seen in conventional forum events. As Choi Ho-jong maximizes his innate charm with his outstanding expressiveness and completeness, anticipation for the artistic expression of knowledge he will showcase is high.
Choi Ho-jong is a next-generation dancer and choreographer leading the dance scene in South Korea. He joined the National Dance Company at the youngest age in 2016 and rose to a deputy principal dancer. Furthermore, last year, he built a remarkable career by winning the final in the male dancer competition entertainment program 'Stage Fighter.' Recently, he completed preparations to leap forward at a new turning point after signing an exclusive contract with Management Namsung.
Choi Ho-jong, who is leading the popularization of dance, which was once considered the domain of a small fan base, is generating curiosity and interest with this opening performance. His advanced movements, which extend the horizons of dance, attempt to kick start social discussions beyond mere stage artistry.
