Coway's choir for the visually impaired, the Mulbit Choir, announced on the 6th that it conducted a disability awareness campaign for youth at Eunpyeong Middle School in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, on the 30th.

This activity is part of the 'Disability Awareness Campaign for Future Generations,' which the Mulbit Choir has continuously carried out since its founding. It was planned to help foster a correct understanding of disability among local youth through cultural and artistic media, and to spread a culture of empathy. The event was further enriched by the attendance of approximately 500 current students from Eunpyeong Middle School.

The Mulbit Choir presented beautiful harmonies in a choral performance composed of popular songs and pop music familiar to students. They staged a diverse program of six songs suitable for the cool autumn, including Kim Gwang-seok's 'Where the Wind Blows' and Yoon Jong-shin's 'Uphill Road,' offering students a special time.

During the performance, a disability awareness education session for youth was conducted directly by choir member Kim Su-hyun. Through a lecture titled 'Understanding the Visually Impaired Correctly,' students listened to various characteristics of visually impaired individuals and sincere anecdotes about their daily lives, spending time viewing disability without prejudice and empathizing with one another.

A Coway official said, "We hope that through this performance, youth will break down prejudices against disability and possess a warm heart that respects differences." The official added, "Going forward, we will take the lead in improving disability awareness and creating social value within the local community through diverse cultural and artistic activities."

Meanwhile, the 'Coway Mulbit Choir,' founded in 2022, is a mixed choir composed of members with severe visual impairments. It contributes to expanding the base of cultural and artistic opportunities for people with disabilities through various competitions and performances. Last year, it was recognized for its achievements in the development of disability culture and arts by winning the Grand Prize (Presidential Award) at the '33rd National Disability Choir Competition Commemorating World Disability Day.' In addition to this, it actively communicates with citizens through regular concerts and various local community events.
