This performance was held as a free invitational performance for all seats and not only donators and alumni but also students and ordinary citizens who had made applications in advance attended and enjoyed the performance. Student Zhang Jin Chen (YU Department of Computer Engineering, 4th year) from China who had made an application through the university website said, “I made the application because I wanted to enjoy Korean performance culture and build memories while studying abroad. I couldn't hide my surprise while watching the performance on a much grander and wonderful stage than expected. Even after the performance is over, the afterglow of emotion lingers. I hope there will be many cultural performances hosted by the university.”
