The activity was sponsored by the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP and the Epoch Times, and assisted by the Falun Dafa Association, Research Institute of Traditional Korean Culture, Committee for a Solution Against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP's) Slaughter, and the New China Human Rights Mutual Friendship Association. At the rally, representatives from the Service Center for Quitting the CCP and the Epoch Times made speeches. They supported the 12 million brave people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and called on more people to learn about the truth and quit the CCP. After the rally, people attending the rally marched through the busiest downtown area for over three hours.

The ancestral shrine park was filled with music performed by the Divine Land Marching Band composed of Falun Gong practitioners, Traditional Korean dance performed by the Research Institute of Traditional Korean Culture, a drama performed by the Committee for a Solution Against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP's) Slaughter, and numerous banners carrying messages such as "Heaven Will Eliminate the CCP," "the CCP is not China," "Quitting the CCP for One's Own Safety." After people learned about the facts, they condemned the CCP's atrocities and expressed their support for the activity.

A seventy-seven-year-old man named Nan told the reporter at the rally, "Upon learning the evil deeds that the CCP has committed, particularly the organ harvesting from living people, I was shocked and disturbed. The Korean media often covered up the human rights violations in forced labor camps in North Korea. The communist party is almost the same." A police officer told us, "You're doing something great. It'd be great if you could do other things, as well."

During the parade, the Divine Land Marching Band composed of Falun Gong practitioners took the lead of the procession. A police officer saw this scene and said to us, "So magnificent! I've been in charge of rallies and parades in Korea for so many years, and it is the first time that I have seen such a majestic band."

Many people noticed a young boy walking in the band and playing the saxophone confidently, as if he had done it for years. He is a nine-year-old Korean student. He said, "I requested to be a part of the Divine Land Marching Band. I like playing musical instruments, and I can clarify the truth to people through it, too."

A Chinese lady named Ms. Jin, who was from Heilongjiang Province, passed by and said emotionally, "Look, there are men and women, old and young in the band, so vigorous and robust, the propaganda in China is really false." She renounced her membership of the Youth League and Young Pioneers League on the spot.

The Divine Land Marching Band composed of Korean Falun Gong practitioners was only set up less than two month ago. None of them are professional musicians. A member named Luan told the reporter, "We are inexperienced amateurs, and we practice in our spare time. It was very difficult at the beginning, but in order to help people learn about the truth about Falun Gong, we've worked hard..."
