Behind the Scenes of IFEZ’s 20th-Anniversary Promotional Video Production

Incheon Sings for a Future City

In October, IFEZ produced a video promoting the 20th anniversary of its opening. 

The future city song represents the vision of IFEZ, highlighted by panoramic views and attractions from Songdo, Yeongjong, 

and Cheongna International Cities. Check out the video’s shooting locations full of exciting features.

Last July, a drone flew over the IFEZ building in Songdo International City. 

The drone hovered around the building and then circled the Sky Garden on the 29th floor to film the busy scene. .

It all served as the production site for a promotional video for IFEZ’s 20th anniversary. 

In front of the camera, IFEZ Commissioner Kim Jin-yong repeatedly shouted, “Cheongna, the city of excitement! Yeongjong, the city of flight! Songdo, 

the city of advancement!” until a satisfying take was finally captured.

After receiving the director’s OK sign, the next scene unfolded. The key line of the song “Future City” was also successfully shot! 

Commissioner Kim, wearing a pink t-shirt with the logo of the future city, persisted for 30 minutes of filming under the blazing sun, never losing his smile until the very end.

At the heart of this promotional video is the term “future city.” The relay song, leading the video, was inspired by the fact that “Miraedosi,” the Korean term for “future city,” is similar in pronunciation to the musical scale names “Mi,” “Re,” “Do,” and “Si.” K Jun, a renowned Korean rapper and composer famous for many commercial projects, created this easy-to-remember song, and the promotional video delivers Commissioner Kim’s message to K Jun’s music, inserting scenes from the international cities while other personalities continue singing along, in turn.

IFEZ will use the completed video for its 20th anniversary and other events via PR centers and social media. You can watch the video throughout September on the IFEZ website (www.ifez.go.kr) and YouTube channel (youtube.com/@IFEZKorea).
