SEOUL, South Korea—A Korean film director was excited to attend Shen Yun, which he said: “Shen Yun is so special. Watching it was like being invited to attend an emperor’s feast!”
Mr. Kang appreciated Shen Yun’s tour of South Korea, and his opportunity to attend the performance.
“Shen Yun does a great job, and it has a big impact and meaning for us. It presents the excellent traditional Chinese costumes, music, culture, and history. It’s fantastic,” he said. “It’s very astounding—it’s fabulous!”
‘Actually, It’s Amazing’
Mr. Park Jong-chan is a research fellow at the Hyundai Motor Research Institute. He enjoyed the dances, which he said were very different from his imagination.“The dances present traditional beauty and elegance but are bright and fast-paced, and have strong power and very difficult techniques,” he said. “This performance is really worth attending.”
“The masculine and valiancy that the male dancers presented are so enchanting. I watched them with gusto,” he said.
Mr. Park praised the dynamic backdrop is the most advanced technology. “It’s very interesting. Actually, it’s amazing!”
“The coordination between the backdrop and the stage is magical. It made all dances so vivid,” he said. “I saw the dancers traveled back and forth between the backdrop and the stage, which really made me feel that I was there as well.”
“China has a very long history. It’s more interesting to present the history by dance,” he said. “[Shen Yun] also dances about what happens in today’s China. It’s great to know these things. I really feel that Shen Yun is very worth to attending.”
Truly Important
“Shen Yun’s dances present the highest dance level in the world, but this performance is important not only because of the techniques or arts,” said Mr. Lee Ji-yong, professor of Chinese Studies at Keimyung University. “The performance presents truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.”“I really feel that we are from heaven, and we have good and kind natures. We should not lose these natures,” he said. “We should remember and follow these principles or [truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance]. These are the strong foundation of humanity’s mindset.”
