ABOUT AMS’ GOT TALENT (AGT):
INTRODUCING THE THEME OF AGT XV: AETERNUM – ETERNAL GLORY
The endless river of time flows, taking us on countless memorable journeys. People hold within them small memories of each path they have trodden, filled with affection. Now, AGT XV: Aeternum has returned with a different appearance, aiming to become one of the countless brilliant pieces of youth memories for Amsers.
Inspired by the belief in “Eternal Youth,” AGT XV, named “Aeternum – Eternal Glory,” will accompany Amsers on the quest for that eternal youth. 1000 days at Ams may seem finite, but we actually hold the absolute power to turn it into eternity. AGT XV will be a place where footprints become milestones, and photographs become indelible marks. Youth may slip away, but memories will remain within us forever. And sometimes, with just a passionate heart, those sacred moments will be frozen in our personal eternity.
