SEOUL - A concert was held to mark the 63rd anniversary of the formation of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces here Sept. 30.

The 50th special morale-boosting concert (called Wuimun Yeol-cha in Korean, which literally means morale-boosting train) was held at Peace Square at the Yongsan War Memorial Hall.

The program began with a ROK Navy Band performance. They were followed by Korean pop stars, including Psy, Nine Muses, and Park Hyo-shin.

The MCs for the concert were Lee Dong-gun and Lee Jun-ki, famous Korean actors who are currently serving as entertainment soldiers.

Lee said, "It is my pleasure and honor to be an MC for this meaningful day."
