This performance was conducted as part of the mindset education for Pohang city officials, targeting about 500 public servants. Unlike traditional lectures or discussions, the musical aimed to increase accessibility and interest in population education and to encourage attention to population issues.

The musical "For Hope" is a work that evokes laughter and empathy about marriage, childbirth, and parenting, while containing a serious reflection on the direction our society should take. It portrays the realities faced by couples exhausted from parenting and daily life through lively dances and witty situations, delivering a hopeful message for a better society.

A public official who watched the performance shared, "It showed reality candidly while presenting a hopeful perspective, making me think more deeply about the low birthrate issue in everyday life."

A Pohang city official stated, "We hope this performance served as an important opportunity for public officials to change their perception and build consensus on the low birthrate issue," adding, "We will continue efforts to raise awareness and develop effective solutions to overcome the low birthrate problem and the population decline crisis through various methods."
