![]() Of course, there are few events that are quite as high-profile on a global scale like the Olympics, so it's not even sort of surprising that everyone seemed to have a different take on the "Imagine" performance. On social media, many praised the performance for being meaningful, while others took jabs at the quartet's singing, and the fact that the song followed the Parade of Nations, despite literally containing the line, "Imagine there's no countries." But while the performance was clearly meant to send an important message about love and unity, not everyone was sold on the actual execution - or even on the song choice to begin with. The "Imagine" singers included South Korean folk singer Jeon In-kwon, indie rock singer Ha Hyun-woo, and K-pop singer Ahn Ji-young, and singer Lee Eunmi according to The Mirror, and during the performance, the musicians sang in between two large symbolic doves (formed by performers!), which made for a particularly impressive view from overhead. After the athletes marched in the Parade of Nations, a group of four musicians came together to sing "Imagine" at the opening ceremony, according to The Guardian, and the iconic John Lennon song felt like the perfect choice. The theme of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics opening ceremony is peace, and given the fact that athletes from North and South Korea have come together to march under a united Korean flag during the event, it seems like a particularly appropriate one.
