SEOUL, South Korea—Vice president of the International Super Queen Model Association and movie actress Son Suna watched Shen Yun Performing Arts at the National Theater of Korea on Feb. 18. Ms. Son described Shen Yun as first rate and said it was peak perfection. She also said that watching it only once is not enough.

“I’ve watched countless theater productions and performing arts shows, but this was my first time encountering a performance like this,” said Ms. Son. “It was my first time seeing people coming in and out of the backdrop; they could even fly up into the backdrop. I don’t what words to use to express my praise. Every time I see the animated backdrop, I am astonished. This truly is a first rate performance.”
Based in New York, Shen Yun was founded in 2006 and quickly became the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company. Its mission is to revive classical Chinese culture and to present the beauty of China before communism.

Ms. Son repeatedly used the word “magical.”

“Truly, I did not dare to blink even once, worried I might miss an exciting moment. I think this is a first rate performance that people of any age can enjoy, and that everyone would give a thumbs up. I want everyone to come see it.”

Many moments in the performance impressed her.
“I was pleasantly surprised to see the fairies in the clouds in the opening piece. Also, when I saw the scenes where the Monkey King flew in and out of [the backdrop], I wanted to bestow the highest praise. I never thought I’d be able to see something like that in Korea; the dancer on stage flew into the screen in the back, and could fly back and forth, or suddenly disappear.”

Shen Yun has its own patented animated backdrop, which allows performers to travel between the stage and the background.

Ms. Son also loved Shen Yun’s costumes and the colors seen on stage.

“Truly amazing,” she said. “I wish I could imprint these colors behind my eyelids. Truly indescribable. I wish everyone could come see this performance. I think if people came to see the performance for themselves, they would all have things to say. The performance is truly incredible and utterly incomparable!”

Ms. Son’s wish to share Shen Yun with others had more to do with its visual beauty.

“I think anyone who sees the performance be full of endless praise, and be able to learn a lot about traditional morals. I’m very excited. I believe I made the right decision to come today.”

According to Shen Yun’s website, traditional Chinese culture was deeply rooted in spiritual teachings, and Shen Yun’s performance reflects those spiritual elements, including heavenly scenes, and divine beings on stage.

“I saw that the divine beings all looked different, and I thought that was very unique. I’m very touched,” Ms. Son said.

“I think it’s not enough to see this performance only once. I’m sure I would have endless praise even if I saw it for a second of third time. It’s truly wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I will come again if I have the chance.”

“Such a spectacular performance has made me so very emotional,” said Ms. Son. “I can’t use words to describe how emotional I am. I think everyone should come and see it. I will recommend this show to others. I would even pay for their tickets myself, just for them to see the performance once.”

Ms. Son said that she would recommend Shen Yun to her friends by telling them, “Just go, and you’ll truly be surprised!”

“Whether you’ve seen it once, twice, three times, or four times, you’ll want to see it again. This is a first rate performance of utter perfection. I love it so much!”
