KBS Busan Singing Class officially registered in Guinness World Records

(Busan = Yonhap News) Reporter Soo-hee Oh = 'KBS Busan Singing Class', the representative long-running cultural business program of KBS Busan General Bureau of Broadcasting, was officially registered in Guinness World Records in celebration of its 22nd anniversary.

According to the KBS Busan Broadcasting Bureau on the 30th, Guinness World Records reviewed the KBS Busan singing class, which has been in operation since 2004, and registered it as a world record in two categories at the same time: 'Singing class with the largest cumulative audience in a single location' and 'Singing class with the largest annual audience in a single location.'

KBS Busan Singing Class has been operated as a core cultural project for local residents at KBS Busan Hall without a single change of location for 22 years.

As a result of thousands of citizens gathering every week to communicate through singing, the program achieved a record-breaking number of total cumulative audiences of 1.8 million and an annual cumulative audience of over 200,000, establishing itself as Korea's largest singing class program.

KBS Busan estimated that the total cumulative number of viewers will reach 4 million if this is included, as it excludes early students for whom there are no records.

KBS Busan will hold a ceremony to commemorate the Guinness World Records registration at the '100th Singing Class Opening Ceremony' held at KBS Busan Hall on October 7th at 2:30 pm with the official Guinness World Records judges in attendance.

At the certification event, an official world record judge will announce the results of the evaluation and award an official certificate.
