The concert was attended by Kim Yong-in, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Kyungwoo Association, along with executives and staff, officers of the Kyungwoo Scholarship Foundation, current and former police officers, and citizens. Although the Police Agency leadership was scheduled to attend, they sent congratulatory flower wreaths instead due to the National Assembly audit schedule.

Hosted by renowned Korean traditional music vocalist Park Ae-ri, the event featured performances by the Kyungwoo Wind Orchestra (40 members), popular singers Nam Jin, Kim Seong-hwan, Choi Yuna, and Yoyomi, world-class vocalists Seok Sang-geun and Choi Yunna, and master drummer Kim Gyu-moon.

A plaque of appreciation ceremony followed. The Korea Retired Police Officers Association presented plaques of appreciation to Nam Jae-hee, director of the Kyungwoo Scholarship Foundation and former police chief, who donated 1 billion KRW, and to Baek Yong-gi, who contributed 100 million KRW. It was reported that Baek has supported the police and the Kyungwoo Association influenced by his father, a police chief.

The Kyungwoo Scholarship Foundation was established in 1977, initiated by Choi Chi-hwan, the 3rd to 5th chairman of the Korea Retired Police Officers Association, who donated 25 million KRW to support the children of current and former police officers working under modest conditions. Up to 2023, the foundation has provided benefits to 1,896 exemplary children over 46 sessions and continues to promote fundraising campaigns.
