[Sohee Song, Traditional Korean Singer]:

"The performance is spectacular. It's really amazing for Shen Yun performing Arts to be able to perform more than 20 dances and songs with lively scenes in only two hours, without feeling like it was rushing the audience. I felt the funniest dance from today’s show was the one about those young monks, it was so interesting that I couldn’t help but give a standing ovation. I also read some stories about the Monkey King before, but the dance about Monkey King in the show was just as vivid as a movie. Watching this show was such an enjoyable experience for me.”

韓國傳統民謠歌手宋素喜說:

「這場演出很壯觀。神韻表演藝術團能夠在2個小時內,演出20組以上,配合生動場景的舞蹈及音樂,而且不會讓觀眾有匆促的感覺,這實在很令人驚奇。我覺得今天節目最有趣的是,有關小和尚的舞蹈。這個太有趣,我忍不住起立鼓掌。我也讀了一些關於孫悟空過去的故事。但演出裡的孫悟空舞蹈,如同電影裡般的生動。觀看這場演出,對我是來說是很愉快的經驗。」

She was amazed by the beauty of Shen Yun. As a devotee of Koreans traditional culture and arts, she expressed her gratitude towards Shen Yun Performing Arts with a song.

「讓我們繼續保存韓國和中國傳統的文化,謝謝你!」

[Jungyune Lee, Chairman, South Korean’s National Treasure and Literature Association]:

"I don’t have any words to express my feelings after watching this show, as Shen Yun Performing Arts put on stage all the Chinese culture that is not publicly known to us. The beauty and elegance of this show amazed me, and made me completely speechless. I was moved by the fabulous stories from the Shen Yun show, and was intoxicated with the beauty and happiness after watching the show. I feel that I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to watch this show and my heart was full of joy and hope."

韓國國家文物協會說:

「沒有任何言語能表達我看完這場演出的感受,因為神韻藝術團,將所有不被公開熟悉的中國文化,呈現在舞台上。演出的美麗及優雅讓我驚奇,著實讓我說不出話來。神韻演出的精彩故事感動了我,看完後陶醉在美麗和快樂。我覺得自己很幸運,有機會觀看這個節目,內心滿是喜悅與希望。」
