SEOUL, South Korea—A top Korean environmental scientist said Shen Yun Performing Arts is not only a classical Chinese dance performance, but also a super comprehensive work of art.

Mr. Park is one of the World Climate Declaration ambassadors and professor of environmental science and engineering at Ehwa Women’s University in Seoul. He served as the president of National Institute of Environmental Research from 2011 to 2013, received “Best Scientist and Engineer Award of the Month” from the Korea Research Foundation in 2007 and Korea Presidential Award on Green Growth from President Myung-Bak Lee in 2013.

“How can one human being direct everything of Shen Yun?” he said. “He is outstandingly amazing. He is a real genius!”

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.” Since 2006, Shen Yun has toured the world with an all-new performance each season.

“Even now, I don’t know how the dancers entered the backdrop,” he said. “The 3-D backdrop is very vivid. It looked like a real world.”

Mr. Park said he could feel the rich, profound, and diverse culture China has, from Shen Yun.

“These traditional cultures are great. They influenced Chinese as well as our Korean, Japanese, and other countries,” he said. “It’s very sad that the Communist Party destroyed these brilliant cultures … They have disappeared in China.”

For 5,000 years ,China’s civilization was built on values and virtues from the spiritual teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, virtues like loyalty, propriety, wisdom, justice, and benevolence—values that are universal and shared the world over.
