A new street movement being created in Busan
BUSAN BUSKING 〈BUSAN STREET CULTURE〉

Hello, this is THE NEXT KI.
We are a street sneaker brand based in Busan.
We always work with the desire to grow together with the local culture.
This time, we've started a special collaboration.
With Hadan Family, the representative dance crew of Busan
This is the BUSAN BUSKING 〈BUSAN STREET CULTURE〉 project.

The Next Key has been telling stories of individuality and culture through movement through shoes.
Hadan Family is an energetic street crew made up of young dancers from Busan.
We are continuing to be active throughout the city.
What kind of story will be created when a brand and a crew meet?
This project started from that very synergy.

BUSAN BUSKING 〈BUSAN STREET CULTURE〉 goes beyond a simple performance,
This is a stage where young people freely move around Busan's city center and tourist attractions.
The first stage begins at the Haeundae Gunam-ro busking zone.
In the future, we will be performing dances with Hadan Family at various spots in Busan.
We plan to ensure that citizens and tourists visiting the site can breathe together and create happy memories.

The music and rhythm resonating from the streets, the passion of the dancers filling it,
And together with The Next Key's sneakers, it will capture Busan's unique street sensibility.

This project is not a one-time event,
This is the beginning of a long-term journey to steadily expand Busan's street culture.
Busan's street culture created together by Hadan Family and THE NEXT KI.
We ask for your continued interest and anticipation for our future stages and collaborations.
