[Sohee Song, Traditional Korean Singer]:
“The performance is spectacular. It’s really amazing for Shen Yun performing Arts to be able to perform more than 20 dances and songs with lively scenes in only two hours, without feeling like it was rushing the audience. I felt the funniest dance from today’s show was the one about those young monks, it was so interesting that I couldn’t help but give a standing ovation. I also read some stories about the Monkey King before, but the dance about Monkey King in the show was just as vivid as a movie. Watching this show was such an enjoyable experience for me.”
韓國傳統民謠歌手宋素喜說：
「這場演出很壯觀。神韻表演藝術團能夠在2個小時內，演出20組以上，配合生動場景的舞蹈及音樂，而且不會讓觀眾有匆促的感覺，這實在很令人驚奇。我覺得今天節目最有趣的是，有關小和尚的舞蹈。這個太有趣，我忍不住起立鼓掌。我也讀了一些關於孫悟空過去的故事。但演出裡的孫悟空舞蹈，如同電影裡般的生動。觀看這場演出，對我是來說是很愉快的經驗。」

The beauty and elegance of this show amazed me, and made me completely speechless. I was moved by the fabulous stories from the Shen Yun show, and was intoxicated with the beauty and happiness after watching the show. I feel that I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to watch this show and my heart was full of joy and hope."
