On the evening of September 17, Daejeon City, which has seen its population begin to grow again after 12 years, held a thank-you concert at the Expo Citizen Plaza outdoor stage, inviting approximately 2,600 community leaders from the city's five districts.

This event was organized to express gratitude to the community leaders who have quietly dedicated themselves throughout the region, including conducting resident registration surveys, identifying those in welfare blind spots, supporting the Daejeon Zero O'Clock Festival, and engaging in volunteer activities.

The concert opened with a photo and video presentation showcasing the volunteer work of community leaders from 82 neighborhoods over the past year. Next, community leaders representing each district, along with one who took the special stage, shared an enjoyable time with the audience by performing songs they had practiced and refined.

Following this, invited singers Kim Taewoong, Jang Yeju, and Enok delivered a variety of passionate and moving trot performances, filling the venue with excitement and emotion.
