On this day, the 'Visiting Happiness Concert' was organized by the Education Command's military band Cambo Band and about 20 traditional music soldiers to create a space for harmony and coexistence through communication with residents of Jinhae-gu, especially for seniors who usually have limited access to cultural and artistic performances.

Starting with the traditional percussion performance by the traditional music band, the pansori and vocal soldiers passionately sang 'Saranga' and 'Gunbam Taryeong' accompanied by the band. Following this, a singing contest segment involving audience participation was held, creating a moment where both seniors and soldiers became one.

A highlight of this concert was the performance by Private Nam Seung-min, a trot singer who enlisted in the Navy military band last October. Private Nam enthusiastically sang lively trot songs such as 'Makgeolli Hanjan', 'Byeolbit Gateun Naui Saranga', and 'Tes-hyung', receiving great applause from the seniors.

Jo Young-soon, the director of the welfare center, said, "Seniors with mobility difficulties rarely have opportunities to experience cultural and artistic performances, but thanks to the Navy soldiers coming directly to perform, they were able to create joyful memories."

Kim Ji-woong, the military band leader, said, "Seeing the seniors enjoy themselves reminded me of my own grandparents," adding, "They are so delighted even with a small performance, so if possible, we will strive to visit more often with happiness concerts in the future."
