This concert was organized to deliver a message of comfort and hope to Yeongdeok residents who suffered greatly from a large wildfire this spring, and to contribute to community recovery through cultural and artistic exchange between regions.
The Yeongdeok concert by Forestella, the crossover male quartet enjoying great popularity both in Korea and abroad, sold out all seats as soon as ticket sales opened, demonstrating the high anticipation of local residents. On the day of the performance, audiences began gathering early, and the Grand Theater's 688 seats were completely filled, with no no-shows, generating an enthusiastic atmosphere.
The concert opened with a video message featuring Yeongdeok's landmarks and people, followed by the appearance of Bae Doohoon, Cho Mingyu, Kang Hyungho, and Ko Woorim, who began the show with the opening song 'Dell′amore Non Si Sa.'
Next, a diverse set of 12 songs, including 'Dalha Nopigom Dodasha,' 'Hijo De La Luna,' 'Shilla-ui Dalbam,' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' spanning pop, film music, and trot, were performed. The audience was captivated by the perfect harmony of the male quartet, and Forestella's signature wide vocal range and emotional interpretation received enthusiastic applause and cheers.
In particular, the singers came down into the audience to interact directly, inviting everyone to stand, dance, and sing together, creating unforgettable memories. This concert, which also specially invited 50 residents from Uljin County to join Yeongdeok locals, left a deep impression on all attendees.

One audience member shared, "Each song was as sweet and beautiful as watching a movie," adding, "I am amazed and grateful to have seen Forestella's stage, which crosses between classical and popular music, right here in Yeongdeok."
A representative from the Yeongdeok Culture and Tourism Foundation said, "We prepared this concert hoping that the residents would receive warm comfort through music and finish the year well, so we are delighted by the great support it received," adding, "Next year, we will continue to present high-quality cultural and artistic performances together with the community."
