  "account": "The Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC)-Korea's choir organized its annual FEBC-Korea Children's Choir Patriotic Concert to commemorate the radio broadcaster's 70th anniversary. The event took place in two cities, Yeosu and Iksan, ahead of Liberation Day on August 15. Over 10,000 people attended the concert, which featured around 700 children aged between 6 and 13 from 13 regional branches across the country. The performers showcased Korea's history, the joy of liberation, and a vision for peace and national unity through a variety of artistic expressions, including choral music, dance, acting, and visual media. This year's event held special significance, as FEBC-Korea celebrated seven decades of its mission in radio broadcasting since its founding in 1956. The host cities were selected for their historical importance: Yeosu, which is associated with Admiral Yi Sun-sin and Pastor Son Yang-won, and Iksan, which served as a center for the independent movement.",
