The ninth edition of the Arts in Tank Dance Festival (ADFK) in Korea is set to kick off in Seoul on Sunday, transforming a public park into a vibrant hub for international artistic exchange.

Running through July 3, the annual event will take place at Oil Tank Culture Park in western Seoul, a prominent culture and arts complex built from repurposed oil tanks.

Under the leadership of artistic director Choi Moon-ea, this year's festival will feature artists from 12 countries, including the United States, France, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and Japan.

The organizer said in a press release that the event has expanded its role beyond a traditional performance-based festival to serve as a comprehensive global dance platform.
