On this day, General Manager Yang Jeong-woong said, “The theme of the opening ceremony is ‘Let us Shine.’ “It contains the meaning that all of our youth are light, potential, and beings with a future,” he explained. “The entire opening ceremony is set in space, and we want to convey the message that each youth is a shining microcosm in the vast macrocosm.” did. He added, “We wrote a story about a girl from the mountains, where our character dreams of becoming an astronaut, travels through space in an imaginary world, and meets herself as a future astronaut.”

Director Yang said, “For the first time in the world, a digital torch will be ignited during the competition, replacing the actual burning flame. By incorporating cloud computing techniques, weather data will be reflected in real time, so you will be able to see vivid fireworks.”
What differentiates it from the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics opening ceremony is the focus on youth. General producer Oh Jang-hwan said, “If the opening ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics is a national brand showcase, the Youth Olympics focuses on supporting, encouraging, and delighting the dreams of youth.” He added, “We focus on the story rather than a large cast and spectacular performances. , the emphasis is on detail rather than scale. He emphasized, “We prepare an opening ceremony with a large number of teenagers participating, and the official events are also decorated with rookies with potential rather than famous stars.”
The overall story of the cultural performance at the opening ceremony unfolds in a fairytale-like and lyrical atmosphere rather than being abstract or symbolic.
Director Jiyoung Hwang said, “The main girl character ‘Uri’ and the beautiful scenery of Gangwon-do are introduced, and the opening ceremony performance begins with the scene of her going to school. “The countdown notifies the start of the opening ceremony and contains the ambiguous meaning of the main character’s day starting at the same time,” he said. “The winning team of Street Girl Fighter 1, ‘Turns’ and Mega Crew, presented a desk performance, followed by a girl who moved to outer space. “The fantasy journey of meeting an ice goblin and finding a dream on an ice planet is created as an artistic scene through special effects such as AR and laser art, as well as huge mapping,” he explained.
Director Hwang continued, “Finally, K-POP artists will sing the Olympic Games theme song together, leading to individual performances. “At this time, it will be a festival that everyone can enjoy together, breaking down the boundaries between the stage and the audience,” he added. Yeonje Lee
