SUWON, South Korea- The second show of Shen Yun Performing Arts concluded successfully in South Korea at the Gyeonggi Arts Center Grand Theater on Thursday, February 18. Jeon Moo Song, a prominent Korean TV actor, president of Gyeonggi provincial arts group and university professor, watched the show as well. He said, "Before, I was very curious to know what the heavenly world looks like. Today, Shen Yun Performing Arts has shown me the scenes of the heavenly realm."

Jeon described his many feelings about the show. "The show brought me to many beautiful places in China. It also prompted me to reconsider the teachings of Buddha. Through the performance, I saw the realistic portrayal of how one can stand up amidst huge adversities. The stage design is very exquisite. Although the show is short, it has left my heart full of good memories. I think it will be very difficult for me to forget today's show. I applaud everything of Shen Yun."

Jeon explained why he felt the show would stick with him: "The dance and music is sublime. At the same time, the items in the show can inspire one's heart, the music open one's ears, the dance movements open one's eyes. Together, these three aspects blend into one to leave a lasting impression. I think Shen Yun is such a perfect show."

Speaking more about how the show affected him, he said emotionally, "The show also portrayed values of filial piety and brought all these good virtues into my heart."

Finally, Jeon wished all the members of Shen Yun a successful tour. "I hope every one of you will always have such healthy, bright faces, and beautiful hearts. This is a lovely production that will beautify people's hearts. I sincerely congratulate everyone in Shen Yun on your performance in Suwon."

Dreamlike Beauty Draws the Impulse to Paint

Also attending the performance was South Korean painter, Park Yong Jae. It was his second year seeing Shen Yun. He said with emotion: "People from any country watching it would say, 'Ah. It is truly beautiful like a dream!'"

Mr. Park is the president of Korea Hyundae Sketching Association. He is also on the panel of judges for the Korean National Exhibition of Fine Arts, and a member of the Korean National Committee of International Association of Arts. He has had several personal exhibits, and has won the Order of Service Merit-Yellow Stripes awarded by the President of South Korea.

The show was so beautiful that it made him want to pick up his paintbrush. "Today when I was watching the show," he said, "I had the impulse to paint quite a few times, or to shoot every scene so that I can learn and try to present each move."

From watching Shen Yun, Mr. Park realized the principle that justice will ultimately prevail. "Though we have an evil side as humans, we have the peaceful and original philosophy of life that one has the inherent right to maintain one's own right to life. I think it is wrong to have evil groups ravaging these peaceful people," referring to dances depicting the situation in present day China.

In the end, Mr. Park said emotionally, "It would be great if many artists can all come to enjoy this show. If it were not for the long distance, I would really want to bring several students to watch the show together tonight."
