This will be followed by the International Youth Choir and the United Choir under the Southern District Office of Education, who will showcase harmony and communication through their choral performances. The Geumcheon District Senior Choir and the Geumcheon District Women's Choir will also take the stage. In the second part, the EASY Mixed Chorus, composed of participants from the EASY Academy at the Geumcheon Musical Center, and the Harmony Men's Choir, a male club choir formed last year, will perform.
Notably, in the second part, the choirs from the first part and an orchestra will join four vocalists to perform the classic masterpiece, Handel's Messiah, drawing much anticipation. Soprano Hong Yewon, mezzo-soprano Kim Jeongheon, tenor Lee Seunghoon, and baritone Lee Seunghwan will participate in this performance.
