[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Cho Seung-hwan, the Barefoot Man and public ambassador of Gwangyang City, announced that he performed the ‘Climate Crisis, Showing the Tears of Glaciers’ performance at this year’s ‘Life Preservation National Movement’ held yesterday at the Saemaeul Movement Central Hall in Bundang-gu, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province.

In this performance, hosted by Hong Aeng-ran, spokesperson of the Barefoot Man Corporation, Cho Seung-hwan challenged himself to ‘stand on ice for a long time’ and renewed the world record by surpassing his own record with a time of 2 hours and 35 minutes.

To support this, performances by the Eoullim Art Troupe (Director Song Yoon-ha), Team Action Star, and rappers were held together.

Cho Seung-hwan said, “This performance expressed the melting of the Earth’s glaciers due to global warming as ice melting, and through the pain of my feet breaking, I wanted to convey that the Earth is suffering. I hope this becomes an opportunity for us to realize the seriousness of the problems we face, such as environmental pollution and climate change, and to join forces to overcome them for the next generation.”

Meanwhile, Cho Seung-hwan, the Barefoot Man, is recognized as a superhuman for achievements including the world’s first barefoot marathon from Gwangyang to Imjingak covering 427 km, the world’s first barefoot climb of the perennial snow mountain Mount Fuji in Japan (3,776 m), three successful barefoot climbs of Hallasan Mountain at minus 30 degrees Celsius, and donating 100 million won prize money after renewing the world record for standing barefoot on ice for a long time on January 19, 2019.
