International Amnesty Korea will hold the 12.3 human rights concert at Rolling Hall on Dec. 3 at 6 p.m., featuring Maiya, An Yea-eun, Broccoli, You Too?, Irang, Resetters and others.
International Amnesty Korea was founded in 1972 by about 20 democracy activists. In its early years it participated in the democratization movement, campaigning for the release of prisoners of conscience, seeking justice for survivors of the Japanese military sexual slavery system, addressing the problem of excessive police force, and working on migrant workers' human rights.
This "12.3 human rights concert" was planned under the slogan "Beyond 12.3, respond with human rights." This stage will be arranged not simply as a space of remembrance but as a musical solidarity venue connecting the people around us and the world. It is a time to reflect on today's realities through the language of music and art and to share hope and courage with the audience.
Also on the concert stage, five distinctive artists — Maiya, An Yea-eun, Broccoli, You Too?, Irang, and Resetters — will participate. The band Resetters delivers wit within bright, upbeat sounds; Irang offers consolation with a sincere voice; Broccoli, You Too? is an emotive band of our era that has recorded everyday feelings through music; An Yea-eun is carving out her own genre with a unique vocal and musical color; and Maiya overwhelms the stage with explosive vocal power and energy. This colorful lineup of five teams with different hues is expected to leave a deep impression on the audience.
A performance official said the concert is a place to feel the empathy and solidarity that artists naturally convey through music, rather than dealing with the topic of human rights heavily. They added they hope everyone who visits the venue will receive warm comfort and courage.
The concert is free, and applications can be made through the International Amnesty Korea website from Nov. 10 to 14. The 400 audience members selected by lottery will share the meaning of human rights through music on a special winter night.
