BUSAN, South Korea—A Korean law professor was touched by Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Sohyang Theatre in Busan on Feb. 4. He said “Shen Yun is like a show from the heavens and is as glorious as a divine creation. Extremely beautiful.”
Mr. Kim was impressed by the difference between Shen Yun’s male and female dancers, as well as the harmonious cooperation among them.
“The male dancers danced vigorously and valiantly. The female dancers’ movements are very elegant,” he said. “Shen Yun is a performance surpasses all other performances. It’s very unique.”
‘It’s Captivating’
Ms. Yoon Doo-a is a professor at the Seoul National University of Education. She admired Shen Yun’s beauty.“The colors are very rich and saturated. The dances are enchanting and touching. It’s formidably beautiful,” she said. “I have been deeply mesmerized by the beauty.”
“For example, they dressed in long-sleeve costumes in light green colors in one dance. Their movements are flowing in the air. It’s captivating,” she said. “I didn’t blink my eyes during the entire dance. I was completely mesmerized.”
Shen Yun story-based dances tell stories from different eras in China’s history. Ms. Yoon enjoyed the stories and said, “It’s like reading the whole process of Chinese cultures in different dynasties.”
After giving her comments, Ms. Yoon moved her arms and said that is a movement she learned from Shen Yun.
“I still feel very touched when I move my hands like Shen Yun female dancers,” she said. “They are very beautiful.”
‘A Splendid and Magic Backdrop’
Mr. Ko Young-sam, a sociology professor at Tongmyong University, admired Shen Yun’s dynamic backdrop.“The dancers can travel back and forth between the backdrop and stage freely and easily. It’s magic. I have never seen anything like this in South Korea or abroad,” he said. “It’s splendid and magnificent.”
“The show is very rich. It completely follows tradition and is very elegant, easy to understand, and beautiful,” he said. “I saw the factors of Buddhism and heaven in Shen Yun. We are familiar with these factors.”
“I love the dance about loyalty. I felt the strong spiritual values in Shen Yun,” he said. “The performance uses advanced technologies with the excellent dances to present traditional culture. This is very attractive.”
Mr. Ko said he would suggest all his friends attend Shen Yun.
