A two-day Korean culture festival will bring together K-pop acts like NCT Dream and aespa next month to provide comfort to people around the world who are exhausted from COVID-19, the culture ministry said Wednesday.

"The K-Culture Festival - 2021 World K-pop Concert" will take place at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) in Ilsan, northwest of Seoul, on Nov. 13-14, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The event is aimed at comforting Korean Wave fans and delivering a message of hope to overcome the pandemic, the ministry said.

The World K-pop Concert is the main event of the festival, featuring K-pop stars like NCT Dream, aespa, ITZY and Pentagon, and kicking off at 7 p.m. on Nov. 14.

At the same time, various cultural programs will take place to inform people about Korean food, beauty and fashion, along with interactive talk sessions between K-pop artists and fans.
