The youth representative of HUSH shared, "We spent countless hours and effort practicing with club friends every weekend and even on weekdays to prepare for the stage. I am truly delighted that our hard work led to such a great result. I am grateful to my club friends who worked hard together and to our parents for their support and encouragement. Above all, we could not have achieved this level of success without the support from the Yangsan City Youth Center and Yangsan City."
Lee Seongmi, Director of Women and Youth Affairs, stated, "I am very proud to see youth planning and creating their own stage, realizing their dreams," and added, "Yangsan City will continue to fully support youth so they can grow through various activities, respecting their autonomy and creativity."
