Korean artists who performed in the Friday Night Live Show on Myanma Radio and Television, left for home on Sunday morning.

The group, consisting of Korean artists and musicians, arrived in Yangon on November 2nd to perform in the Friday Night Live Show on Myanma Radio and Television on November 3rd.

They joined Myanmar artists in the Myanmar-Korea Cultural Exchange Program, featuring K-Pop dances, folk songs, and classical songs, further strengthening the cultural ties between Myanmar and Korea.

Moon Geontak said "I received more encouragement from the audience than I expected. I have no words to express my joy. I will bring more songs on my next visit."

Haro said "It is my first visit to Myanmar, and I am truly honored to have been welcomed by such a warm and enthusiastic audience. I hope to experience this scenario again. I am thoroughly enjoying my time here and look forward to visiting again."

Jeong Deul Le said "Although I have experienced shows in other countries, I've never received such a warm welcome as I have here in Myanmar. I wonder whether we will have the opportunity to experience this again. I truly appreciate it."

On Saturday, the Korean artist delegation enjoyed a day filled with cultural exploration. Their activities included a boat ride on Inya Lake, a visit to the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda with historical insights, and shopping for souvenirs at Bogyoke Aung San Market and Junction City in downtown Yangon. The tour concluded with a study visit to the Yangon-Dala bridge construction project, symbolizing the friendship between Myanmar and Korea.

During their tour, the Korean artist delegation experienced the clean and green environment of Yangon City, along with the peaceful lifestyle of its residents. They were struck by the honesty and hospitality of the local people. As a result of their positive experiences, they pledged to counteract the fake news that wrongly claims there is no rule of law in Myanmar. Additionally, they expressed their desire to revisit Myanmar to explore other beautiful and pleasant destinations.

Regen said "We had the opportunity to tour Yangon City and discovered that Myanmar boasts historically unique and significant places."

Henny said "This is my first visit to Myanmar, and I've had the opportunity to explore many fascinating places and savor the delicious cuisine. I truly love Myanmar."

This journey has not only strengthened the cultural ties between Myanmar and Korea but has also deepened their appreciation for Myanmar's unique heritage and the kind-hearted residents. The bonds of friendship and mutual respect between the two nations have grown stronger, and this is just the beginning of an enduring cultural exchange.
