At the show, the artists from both sides performed extremely unique folk art performances. The performances from Nghe An province recreated the daily life of the Mong people in the highlands of Nghe An, or the romantic moonlit night space with the rustic and genuine Vi Phuong Vai melody, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
Interspersed with the art performance of Nghe An province were emotional art performances from Gwangju artists with pansorri - a quintessential Korean cultural feature and unique traditional folk dances. In particular, the two groups of artists combined and performed together to create a unique musical space, imbued with the traditional cultures of the two countries Vietnam and Korea.
