\u201cPersonally, I look forward to performing at this event every December. Today\u2019s concert hall, the Gocheok Sky Dome, seems even bigger. I was very nervous and tense to hear that the number of people would be 20,000. It feels rewarding to think that the New Life Concert has grown and been reborn as much as the love overflows with each passing year. I hope today that the beneficiary families will forget all their hardships they have had in the past, and leave this concert filled with hope and love. I will deliver love and hope to you. Cheer up!\u201dSinger Jeong Su-ra<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
