Alongside the festival announcement, organizers are recruiting official volunteers under the name ZANDI 1기. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and available for a full day of duty on at least one of the two festival days. English communication skills are preferred, since volunteers in this role handle overseas attendees and industry guests; foreign residents in Korea may also apply but need Korean-language ability.
Assigned duties may include ticketing desks, venue entry checks, on-site safety support, or reception for music-industry conference guests. Volunteers receive meals and an official staff kit on working days, and free festival admission on non-working days. Transportation costs are not covered.
