BUSAN, South Korea—The former president of a leading Korean broadcaster said all his tiredness accumulated in the pandemic was blown away by Shen Yun Performing Arts after seeing it at the Sohyang Theatre in Busan on Feb. 4.

Mr. Kim Jae-chul, the former president of MBC, the leading television and radio broadcaster in South Korea, and former director of Busan Traffic Broadcasting Bureau, said Shen Yun “is perfect.”

“Shen Yun’s choreography, dancers’ movements, songs …. all are perfectly perfect. All the artists are perfectly trained,” he said. “I can imagine that Shen Yun is welcomed everywhere in the world.”

New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s top classical Chinese dance company, and has a mission to show the beauty and goodness of “China before communism.” For 5,000 years China’s civilization was built on values and virtues from the spiritual teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

“This is purely art. Why does the Chinese Communist Party keep on disturbing Shen Yun?” he said.

“Presenting traditional culture and history using the arts is very meaningful,” he said.

“The female dancers danced very gracefully and expressed emotions exquisitely. The male dancers danced very masculinely, and they are full of handsomeness,” he said. “The music perfectly combined the beauty of Eastern instruments and a Western orchestra. With the support of the animated backdrop, Shen Yun presents Chinese history. This is amazing.”

Mr. Jung said he attends performances frequently, but was surprised by Shen Yun.

“Everything about Shen Yun is novel,” he said. “The male dancers’ movements are very powerful and valiant, and you could feel their energy. This is the first time that I’ve seen dance so majestic. It’s fantastic!”

Mr. Jung was surprised that through dance, Shen Yun was able to present profound concepts like values, and complex information like history.

“I’m in the education business. I know very well the importance of the humanities. I saw Shen Yun present three words: truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The meaning of these three words is very profound and thought-provoking. I think maybe all human beings will pursue these in the future.”

Mr. Jung repeated that Shen Yun was great, and said he would be strongly recommending it to those around him.

“I learned a lot from Shen Yun. The first lesson I learned is being humble,” he said. “We are used to knowing individual celebrities [in a show], but Shen Yun is different. We are unable to know all the artists. But each of them made me feel warm.”

“Even though he’s young, my son learned a lot from Shen Yun,” he said. “How did the dancers enter the backdrop? How can dancers fly? He is curious about many things. I feel this is a very good chance to encourage his interests in the arts.”

Mr. Ha felt Shen Yun was valuable for anyone.

“I suggest everybody attend Shen Yun,” he said. “This is a great chance to experience the traditional Chinese civilization.”
