The Taiwanese combined choir, consisting of about 149 students from the Kaohsiung area, including students from Jianshan Elementary School, Nongnong Elementary School, Borae Middle School, and Nibu'en Choir, performed songs reflecting Taiwan's multicultural background such as "Formosa, Cheer Up" at the concert held for approximately 400 faculty and students of Sangmyung Middle and High School. Most of the students participating in the concert are indigenous Taiwanese.

Sangmyung High School, which hosted the concert, prepared a performance by the Bonse Aba Senior Choir and a special performance by the Sangmyung High School K-pop band. After the concert, Sangmyung High School also provided cultural experience booths for the Taiwanese students who prepared the exchange concert to experience Korean culture.

Yang Gwangjung, Representative of the Taipei Mission in Korea, said at the exchange concert, "Music is the most suitable language for exchange." He added, "I hope that the faculty and students of Sangmyung Middle and High School will feel the beautiful music of Taiwan and that in the future, students from Sangmyung Middle and High School will visit Taiwan, creating opportunities to strengthen friendship between both sides."

Meanwhile, the Taiwanese combined choir that participated in the exchange concert won gold medals in multiple categories at the 2023 Gangneung World Choir Competition held earlier.
