The festival was given for a time to mourn while Korean celebrities started the event with a prayer.

Then the legendary singers gave songs to calm the spirit. In the beginning of the second part of the festival, Yoon Bok Hee sang the classic hit song “Everyone,” which had touched the hearts of many in the audience. Having a solo classic guitar playing in the background, the singer sang her feelings out making the audience ask for an encore.

In the concert, In Soon Yi also made a moving performance. Prior to the concert, In Soon Yi prepared a yellow ribbon, and prayed that the missing people would be found. Before performing “A Goose’s Dream,” she told the audience, “It’s a time where the entire Korean community is in pain. Let’s overcome this and move forth together.” As she began singing, many of the older generations began to weep. To make the crowd feel lighter, In Soon Yi kept on touching the yellow ribbon that was on her chest and even requested the audience to sing together.
