BTS, Rescene Put Small Town Festival on the Map

Cheorwon, a small city in Gangwon Province, is getting major attention after it was revealed that both BTS and rising girl group Rescene performed at local festivals before they became famous. Videos of Rescene's performance at the Cheorwon Hwagang Freshwater Snail Festival last year went viral, sparking renewed interest in the town's events. A local official joked that inviting these groups back now would be nearly impossible given their current superstar status.
