The opening was adorned by none other than… Psy‘s remix of ‘Champion’! With lyrics capturing the spirit of independence activists, this song brought 20,000 audience members to their feet.
Crying Nut’s ‘Singing Problem Solver’ set a record for the largest choir when combined with audience participation, while Gang San-ae’s ‘Wagarano’ received applause for its harmony of tradition and modernity. (It’s a secret that I couldn’t help tapping my feet π€«)
β¨ Ultra-High-Quality Media Show
