DAEGU,  South Korea—Shen Yun Performing Arts has created a sensation in the Korean performing arts community, said an artist who saw the show in Daegu.

Dean of Haiyin Academy of Korean Traditional Music and famous for Seon Chang (a traditional Korean music), Kim Myo Soon (left), attended Shen Yun’s second show in Daegu on January 22, 2011. After seeing the show, she said excitedly, “Shen Yun’s inner attraction is too beautiful to take in. It’s haunting in my mind. I think that in bringing to us so successful and outstanding a show, Shen Yung contributes a lot to our future work in the arts. After seeing the show, we will work harder to do better in our performances.”

“As a person who works for traditional art, I was very touched to see such a show, which so exquisitely reflects our inner world. For presenting a magnificent show, it really takes Shen Yun a great amount of effort. It is indeed because of such a huge effort Shen Yun makes, that the performance can touch the whole world.” Ms. Kim said.

“We have performed in Western countries, too. We perform with our voice, so we are unable to have such graceful movements and backdrops. Shen Yun’s performance is very special. It’s colorful and gorgeous. Every movement is accompanied with a very beautiful melody. The fantastic backdrops are really very amazing and very beautiful.”

As some South Korean artists said that seeing Shen Yun has become a “required course” in the fields of arts, it is so for the traditional artist Kim Myo Soon. She saw Shen Yun last year and the year before. For the all new programs brought by Shen Yun, Kim repeatedly expressed her gratitude.

“Thank the performers of Shen Yun for bringing us such wonderful traditional art and such a gorgeous performance. I feel very, very grateful to see such an excellent show. Thank Shen Yun for giving us brand new works every year.”

Kim Myo Soon is a famous performer of Seon Chang, a Korean traditional music that is considered the most joyous, sonorous, and powerful. She is also a representative of the Chinese wind and percussion instruments in South Mountain, Daegu and noted Korean celebrity (NO. 19 in the Association of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the head of Seon Chang in Daegu branch).
