Location

For more details on the host country, see Korea DPR.

Pyongyang (/ˈpjɒŋˈjæŋ, ˈpjʌŋ-/; (Chosŏn'gŭl: 평양; Hancha: 平壤), Korean pronunciation: [pʰjʌŋ.jaŋ], literally: "Flat Land" or "Peaceful Land") is the capital and largest city of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (commonly known as North Korea).

Ailee, performed her winning song "Mind Your Own Business"

Pyongyang is located on the Taedong River about 109 kilometres (68 mi) upstream from its mouth on the West Korea Sea and, according to preliminary results from the 2008 population census, has a population of 3,255,388.[5] The city was split from the South Pyongan province in 1946. It is administered as a directly governed city (chikhalsi, 직할시) on the same level as provincial governments, as opposed to a special city (teukbyeolsi, 특별시) as Seoul is in South Korea.

Venue

For more details on the venue, see Rungrado 1st of May Stadium.

The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, completed on May 1, 1989. It is the largest stadium in the world, with a total capacity of 114,000. The site occupies an area of 20.7 hectares (51 acres).

It is currently used for football matches, a few athletics events, but most often for Arirang Festival performances (also known as the Mass Games). The stadium can seat 114,000,^[3] which ranks it on the list of largest stadiums by capacity in the world.

Its name comes from Rungrado Islet in the Taedong River, upon which it is situated, and May Day, the international labour day. Its scalloped roof features 16 arches arranged in a ring, and it is said to resemble a magnolia blossom. It is not to be confused with the nearby 50,000 capacity Kim Il-sung Stadium.

Participants

Fourty-one countries and dependencies have confirm their interests in participation in the third edition of Sound Of Asia. Cambodia, Egypt, Lao DPR, Micronesia, Mongolia, Riau Islands and Wando County will make their debut in this edition.

However, Bangladesh, Iran, Myanmar, Qatar and Tonga announced their withdrawal from the festival.
