The concert also featured special performances by Hong Ki-ppeum, an actively performing accordionist, and the unique-toned and grand harmony of the Seonju Hwaeum Boys Choir.

The Gumi City Saemaeul Women's Choir began in 1991 as the Songjeong Elementary School Mothers' Choir and was renamed the Saemaeul Women's Choir in 2002. For 32 years, based on the ideology and spirit of the Saemaeul Movement, they have been leading various performance activities to practice sharing and volunteering through continuous efforts.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Saemaeul Movement's record heritage being registered with UNESCO. The choir has been beautifying the local community not only through beautiful music and songs but also through cultural exchange activities with other regions and continuous volunteer work, including celebratory performances for Saemaeul Day events, hosting traveling concerts, and participating in the Saemaeul Choir Healing Concert.
