In his congratulatory address, Speaker Jo quoted from the Baekbeomilji and said, "The nation that Kim Gu dreamed of was not simply a prosperous country, but the most beautiful nation in the world—one that makes ourselves happy through the power of a high culture and shares this happiness with others."

He went on to emphasize, "The designation of the 'Baekbeom Kim Gu UNESCO Commemorative Year' is not only a great honor for our country, but also demonstrates that the vision of a culturally powerful nation and the ideals of peace that Kim Gu pursued have been recognized as universal values by the international community."

Speaker Jo also stated, "Baekbeom Kim Gu, who led the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, spearheaded the establishment of the Korean Liberation Army, the root of our national military. Today's performance stands on the foundations of the history of the Liberation Army, moving hearts and singing for peace through the power of culture and art rather than weapons. This will create a precious resonance in today's world, where conflict and disunity are deepening."

He added, "I give a round of applause to all the actors and production staff who devoted themselves to preparing this performance," continuing, "I hope this performance, rooted in the noble sacrifices of our forebears who dreamed of an independent nation, will help us reflect together on Kim Gu's aspirations and leave lasting memories for everyone."
