CAMP HUMPHREYS - In celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the U.S.-ROK

alliance and Pyeongtaek University's centennial anniversary, a concert

featuring the Korean pop singer "Rain," was held at the Pyeongtaek

University 90th Anniversary Building, March 7.

The show was hosted by K-Force Media and organized by the university

Research Center for USFK, and sponsored by Pyeongtaek City.

More than 1,500 people attended the concert, including personnel from Camp

Humphreys and Osan Air Base, Soldiers from ROKA 51st Infantry Division, ROK

Navy 2nd Fleet, ROKAF Operations Command Support Group, ROKAF 7th

Communication Group, Pyeongtaek citizens and PTU students.

The highlight of the show was when ROKA Cpl. Jung Ji-hoon, best known as

Rain, took the stage to sing his hit song "Hip Song." When Rain, who is one

of the most famous celebrities in Korea, showed up on the stage many people

crowded into the front. He came down and shook hands with fans during his

performance.

Before he came out, other K-Pop stars like Sangchu and 9MUSES, as well as

others performed. Everybody in the hall seemed to enjoy the performances.

After the concert, some Soldiers happened to meet their old Korean friends

from the Headstart Program and several U.S. and ROK Soldiers shared a moment

by taking commemorative pictures together.

"The Pyeongtaek University staff provided a warm welcomed to all the USFK

personnel, which is a display of the strong alliance and cooperation we have

with our local Korean community," said Sean McManus Sr., a program analyst

for the Camp Humphreys Family and Morale, Welfare and , Recreation. "The

concert was great with the variety of artists performing. It was a pleasure

to see the live show."
