Approximately 550 people attended the event, including Mayor Lee Jang-woo, Daejeon Metropolitan Council Chairman Cho Won-hwi, and volunteer firefighters. A variety of programs took place, such as a congratulatory performance by a fusion Korean traditional music band, a themed video screening, and the Vision Wish Tree activity.

This symbolic performance was met with enthusiastic applause from the attendees and added significance to the event.
