  "summary": "The Korea Times reports on an innovative initiative by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to boost small businesses in the city while providing music enthusiasts with unique concert experiences. The Seoul Global Art Night with Receipt Concert, set to take place over two days at Seoul Plaza, offers front-row seats to attendees who present receipts totaling at least 30,000 won ($22) from local shops and eateries in Seoul during October. The festival, organized in collaboration with the Seoul Shinmun Daily, aims to encourage spending at nearby businesses while introducing visitors to Korean music and dance. Admission is free for those without qualifying receipts, though seating areas differ accordingly. The festival will feature traditional Korean music on Friday, offering a blend of cultural discovery and entertainment.",
