On the 17th at 7 PM, Joo Woo-jae will announce the start of the Grand Mint Festival (GMF) 2025 through the pre-event "You, Leave All Your Burdens to Me in GMF," held at the lakeside stage of Lake 88 in Seoul Olympic Park. This pre-event is a special stage that recalls memories from 10 years ago.

Joo Woo-jae was selected as the "Festival Guy" at GMF in 2015. At that time, he deeply connected with the audience through a public broadcast-style concert he planned and hosted himself called "You, Leave All Your Burdens to Me." This pre-event uses the same name derived from the radio program of the same title that Joo Woo-jae hosted in 2013, continuing the emotions and sentiments of that time to create a space for sincere communication with the audience.

"You, Leave All Your Burdens to Me" is also the origin of the name of Joo Woo-jae's official fan cafe. It has long served as an emotional symbol connecting Joo Woo-jae and his fans. Through this stage, Joo Woo-jae reconnects with GMF after 10 years, acting as a musical time traveler linking the past and present.

The pre-event becomes an emotional intersection that transcends time beyond a simple performance. It offers nostalgia to those who remember "You, Leave All Your Burdens to Me" from the past and fresh empathy to new audiences encountering Joo Woo-jae. It creates a warm moment that connects generations and time through music.

Joo Woo-jae continues his diverse activities, moving between broadcasting and the stage. This GMF pre-event stage is expected to become another meaningful chapter in his musical journey.
