What’s On
Between Classical Korean Songs and Folk Songs,
A Melody You Can't but Sing along Unconsciously
This performance is a journey to find today’s song, somewhere between Gagok (classical Korean songs) and Minyo (folk songs). With ‘Gagok’ representing restrained emotions and refined form, and ‘Minyo’ embodying vitality and the spirit of joy, let’s imagine a song reborn through these two distinct flows, transformed with a modern sensibility into today’s Gayo (popular songs). Gagaek (vocalist) Kang Kwon-sun, composer and producer Shin Won-young, along with pop sounds, rhythms, and the fun of chorus, join hands to create a unique experience where the audience responds with enthusiasm and cheers, discovering some moments rarely seen in traditional Gagok. “What is a song?” Even when quietly appreciating it, you’ll inevitably find yourself singing along. After all, that’s what songs are.
