The special Christmas concert "Youn Sun Nah & Bojan Z Christmas in Light, Jazz Returns: Théâtre des Lumières" will be held on Monday, December 21, and Tuesday, December 22, at Théâtre des Lumières, an immersive media art exhibition hall located in Walkerhill, Seoul, operated by Timonet.

Connecting 1963 Louis Armstrong to today's Youn Sun Nah... The return of Walkerhill jazz
The title "Youn Sun Nah & Bojan Z Christmas in Light, Jazz Returns: Théâtre des Lumières" carries the meaning of "connecting the long jazz history of Walkerhill to today's stage."
When Walkerhill first opened in 1963, jazz legend Louis Armstrong performed a commemorative concert, and since then, world-class artists such as The Mills Brothers have graced the Walkerhill stage. The Walkerhill Theater, which holds that history, was reborn in 2022 as the immersive media art exhibition hall Théâtre des Lumières. Now, 60 years later, Youn Sun Nah and Bojan Zulfikarpašić will meet the audience at this location.
World-renowned jazz vocalist Youn Sun Nah has been consistently loved by jazz fans both domestically and internationally for her original tone and free interpretations that cross genres. Joining her on stage is Bojan Zulfikarpašić, a jazz pianist with a unique playing style and rich sense of style, and the two artists are expected to demonstrate deep musical communion during this performance.
Théâtre des Lumières: A special Christmas jazz stage unfolding within paintings

During this performance, visuals utilizing world-class paintings will unfold alongside the vocals of Youn Sun Nah and the piano of Bojan Zulfikarpašić. Unlike traditional concert halls, the audience can experience an immersive feeling as if they are listening to jazz inside a work of art, surrounded by large-scale video and three-dimensional sound.
Scheduled for only two days ahead of Christmas, the performance is expected to provide special year-end memories as Youn Sun Nah's voice, Bojan Zulfikarpašić's piano melodies, and diverse visuals harmonize.

Timonet, which began as a specialized mobile payment solution company, is expanding into the cultural technology (CT) business sector. The company first developed mobile payment technology that allows the Tmoney card—an essential transportation card used daily by the nation—to be used on smartphones, and it played a role in creating the sharing economy by developing car-sharing solutions that enabled car-sharing services, a hallmark of the modern sharing economy. Another major achievement is "Easy Sign," a cloud-based public certificate that eliminated the inconvenience of using public certificates. Having presented the Media Art Map project in 2015, which algorithmized mobile payment information into colors to turn the traces of urban life into public art, Timonet has adopted cultural technology services integrating IT and art as a next-generation strategic business. In cooperation with the French company Culturespaces, Timonet first introduced the French "Series of Lights," which demonstrates the fusion of IT and art, to Korea at the "Bunker des Lumières" in Seongsan, Jeju, in 2018, and opened "Théâtre des Lumières" in Walkerhill, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, in 2022.
