Boy band g.o.d is set to hold a slew of celebratory events at Everland amusement park in Yongin, Gyeonggi, in light of the 10,000th day since its debut, the band’s agency Gemstone E&M said Tuesday.

Dubbed “One Family, 10,000 Days,” the events will take place from May 28 to 31.

Themed around the sky blue balloon that symbolizes g.o.d, the project will include mini fan concerts, a pop-up store, an exhibition and interactive event zones. There will also be a g.o.d music flash mob featuring a 12-member brass band and 30 dancers, as well as a special busking concert in the park’s Rose Garden.

The concerts will be held on May 29 and 30.

Members Son Ho-young and Kim Tae-woo will perform as the unit HoooW on the May 29 concert. Park Joon-hyung, Danny Ahn, Son Ho-young and Kim Tae-woo will take the stage on May 30.

A portion of the project's profits will also be donated in the names of the fans and the artists, the agency said.

“The project is not simply an event, but the starting point in presenting a new format for the K-pop industry,” the agency said in a press release on Tuesday. “It is especially meaningful that g.o.d, senior artists and living legends are opening that new chapter. We expect it to become a new reference model that can also draw attention in the global K-content market going forward.”

g.o.d debuted in 1999 with its first album “Chapter 1” and was beloved by domestic fans with hits such as “To Mother,” “Love and Remember” and “Sorrow” in 1999, followed by “One Candle” and “Lies” in 2000 and “Road” in 2001.
