(Clearwisdom.net) SEOUL, South Korea--Gyu-Gon Shin, a renowned Korean baritone, brought his entire family to Divine Performing Arts (DPA) International Company's final show at Universal Arts Center in Seoul on February 8 after having watched it the previous year.
Gyu-Gon Shin found the show to be a renaissance for humanity and believes it is playing a major role in the restoration of morality in society. He was awed by the soloists in the show, describing them as "particularly outstanding."
"The texture of the tones and the lyrics are all truly great. I've known that China has many talented vocalists, yet DPA's soloists are particularly outstanding."
Mr. Shin was formerly a music professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, principal director of the Korean Vocalists' Group and a representative of the Korean Vocal Academy. He has also performed in Carnegie Hall in New York City.
After seeing Divine Performing Arts last year, he voluntarily became a promoter of DPA.
"After I saw the show last year, I told many people around me about the performance. I told all of the 80 members of the Seoul National University Choir Club,and probably many of them came today.
"I think musicians, dancers, actors, religious figures and philosophers should all come and see the show. People in today's society have fallen into a realm where they crave material gains. There is much corruption. If everybody comes to see Divine Performing Arts, [I believe that] society will become clear and bright and morality will be raised. In this aspect, DPA is incomparable with any other show.
"The DPA backdrops hint at the nobleness of human lives. Today the footage on television and in movies are filled with violence, yet this performance contains cosmic content that is authentic, pure and mystical. After enjoying the show, I can deeply sense the mystery of the universe. My two kids who are in elementary school now also asked many questions while watching the show."
Mr. Shin said he experienced a cultural realization as a result of seeing the performance. He said, "I have never felt such excitement about the Korean culture, yet today I feel that excitement. I never knew that the root of Asian culture is China."
