As soon as Jo Seong-hyun saw Chae-yoon’s eyes, he realized that this performance should never be missed.
He was really, really inspired by it.
That inspiration could be some kind of realization… It can be an opportunity to change your child’s music.
Although Chae-yoon draws inspiration from many other everyday aspects other than music, the one who was most influenced by… It was new music.
After listening to songs with completely different styles, Chae-yoon tries to incorporate them into her performance.
That was true for songs within the same genre, but like the last time I was inspired by a water park, I tried a lot of changes even after listening to songs from a completely different genre.
“Let’s go too.”
“yes… .”
Chae-yoon nodded her head at Jo Sung-hyun’s words and answered blankly.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who slightly adjusted the child’s headdress, asked Hyun-ah Jang to pick up the doll with her eyes and moved on.
Apparently, since she was holding Chae-yoon, it was difficult for Jo Seong-hyun to bend over and pick up the doll.
Jang Hyun-ah picked up the horse doll that Chae-yoon had dropped, and looked at the child as if curiously.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Chae-yoon so focused.”
“Iknow, right.”
At her words, Jo Seong-hyeon smiled and answered, and followed the band who continued to play happily.
thump thump. thump thump.
It’s a strangely warm, yet upbeat music.
It was very simple, music played using traditional instruments without any other modulation, but it was a great performance by itself.
It is surprising that this is a performance that has not yet started in earnest.
After a short walk, we reached the large central square.
There was already a boundary line set for the stage in the central plaza, and no one crossed the boundary line even though there were quite a few people there.
As the band entered the central plaza, it spread widely and regrouped.
ridge. Doo Woong.
Doo Woong. ridge.
The other instruments stopped playing, and only the man holding the large drum struck the drum with a constant beat.
There was only one drum being played, but there was a sense of grandeur and wretchedness.
‘It’s pretty cool.’
Just looking at this scene, it was cool, Jo Sung-hyun was deeply impressed.

Music is also music, and there were many parts that were visually stimulating.
Hanbok, traditional musical instruments, and traditional Korean masks hanging from the waist.
The tension is getting higher and higher.
At some point, the drum suddenly stopped sounding.
“Aaah!”
As soon as the drum stops, a voice is heard from somewhere.
The audience turned their heads in unison to find the source of the sound.
On the other side of the band the band had just walked in, a woman in hanbok walks in and makes a spear sound.
She captivated the audience with one vocal, and was carrying an instrument the size of her behind her back.
Seong-hyeon Cho could easily recognize that it was the gayageum, the representative player of the Korean traditional instrument.
Chae-yoon gives strength to the hand that is holding Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Seong-hyeon felt the strength of the child’s hand, and moved his gaze gently to look at Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon’s expression literally looked as if she had found a jewel.
Or should I express it as if I found an oasis in the desert?
He also looked like he was shocked.
Chae-yoon is experiencing Korean traditional music for the first time.
Doo Woong. ridge.
The drumming starts again.
In line with that, the band raised their right foot and slammed it down to the ground, making a sound.
Even the sight of dozens of people hitting their feet and beating drums at the same time had a pretty big impact.
The look of a woman who took her steps in the face of it was no choice but to draw more attention.
ridge!
A man holding a drum beats the drum vigorously.
At the same time, the band wore a mask that was attached to the waist.
Toward the woman carrying a gayageum, a woman wearing a hahoe mask steps forward and opens her mouth.
“Get away now! This is not the place for idiots like you.”
Instead of just shouting, he speaks like a song with his voice trembling strangely.
Should I call it pansori?
It looked pretty fun.
I can hear Chaeyoon gulp and swallow saliva from the side.
The band made a loud noise and took a step forward.
The woman stopped walking and looked at the orchestra quietly.
“If you step back from here, it won’t hurt you. Get away now!”
The man spoke again, but the woman did not respond and sat down.
Then, unfold the gayageum he was holding and prepare to play.
In the meantime, the band started playing, and the small resounding tension of the band made the audience immerse themselves in the situation.
Doo Woong. ridge. ridge.
The music of the loud band played again with the sound of drums.
There was an exciting performance as if it was a festival.
The woman seated on the other side sighed and wanted to take a breath, and then started moving her hand.
ding! Thirling! Tiing.
The sad gayageum player and the exciting music of the band harmonized.
At that moment, Jo Seong-hyeon looked at the woman playing the gayageum with her eyes shining.
Of course, since they practiced and learned a lot of instruments, it would be natural to handle them skillfully.
The musicians who played the gayageum were a little different.
If the members of the band felt like musical actors in a well-rehearsed state, the gayageum player was more like a musician than an actor.
Jo Sung-hyun, who was having fun watching the play, also began to change to resemble Chae-yoon’s.
tyring. ding. Tiing.
Gayageum is crying
ridge. pretty much.
The band laughs.
Basically, the band had more instruments and had instruments that had to be louder, so of course we had to get ahead with the strength of our performances.
‘I’m rather pushed.’
As if a violin overwhelms a huge orchestra and plays.
A single gayageum was demonstrating his influence, overwhelming the performances of dozens of bands.
“Wow, that’s really good.”
Hyeon-ah Jang next to her speaks as if admiring her.
Normally, he would have answered something, but Jo Seong-hyeon couldn’t afford to say anything because he was enjoying the gayageum performance that was overwhelming the band.
Jang Hyun-ah glanced at Jo Sung-hyun and smiled a little.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon’s expressions were very similar.
When they both put on that look, it means they’re really into the music, so she decided not to disturb them any more.
Everyone in the party kept their mouths shut and quietly watched the play.
The band slowly approached the musician playing the gayageum and surrounded her.
We dealt with each other like that, and we played tight with each other.
Tiing!
The gayageum resounds loudly.
The band staggered and collapsed at the same time.
The woman got up from her seat with the gayageum and moved on silently.
With that, the play was over.
I don’t really understand what the content is, but one thing is for sure… .
“The performance is really, really crazy.”
The gayageum player was the main character of this performance.
The collapsed band rises from their seats one by one, and the woman, who was quietly walking, returns to the band and greets the audience.
“thank you!”
The audience applauded when they realized the performance was over.
One by one, the seats are arranged and the audience leaves.
In the midst of this, Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon looked at the gayageum player.
She was walking with the band members laughing and talking about something.
“Seniors.”
Hyun-ah Jang calls Jo Sung-hyun.
Only then did Jo Seong-hyun come to his senses and turn his head to look at Chae-yoon.
Seong-hyeon Jo, who confirmed that Chae-yoon’s gaze was still on the gayageum player, glanced at the gayageum player once and opened his mouth.
“Chae Yoon-ah, would you like to go say hello?”
“really?”
“yes. I think it will be.”
“Then let’s go.”
Chae Yoon-yi grabbed Seong-hyun’s shoulder and said.
It looks like he really wanted to go and say hello.
Jo Seong-hyeon hugged Chae-yoon and carefully headed towards the gayageum player.

Songlia.
28 years old.
She fell in love with Korean traditional music from an early age and has been playing gayageum.
When it is difficult for those who do traditional music to make a living.
Song Lia was still in a good condition.
Because I was able to maintain a stable life by performing regularly in the folk village.
‘Still, I want to try to play properly… .’
While performing, she felt regret.
Of course, Song Lia does her best, but she couldn’t say that she had a perfect performance.
The actors they work with are good people, but the music they show is… Because it wasn’t at a level where I could say it was great.
It’s good enough to listen to, but still disappointing.
It would be nice to play with real musicians and try to get along.
Song-Ria has always lived with such regrets.
And, as always, she started the performance and found it while sitting down and playing the gayageum.
‘uh?’
Cho Seong-hyeon and Cho Chae-yoon.
a face you know
Because it was a face I saw every day through me tube.
The video they showed on me tube made it clear that they really really love music.
On the one hand, it made me feel respectful.
Song-Ria felt her heart beating at the sight of such people watching her performance.
“Sup.”
I’m a little more nervous than usual.
It was a good tension.
She really did her best to perform.
While playing, I did not forget to glance at the reactions of Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon.
Their faces weren’t bad.
When the performance was over, Song Ria herself was quite satisfied.
‘I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.’
Song-Ria thought about it and organized it.
“Lea, you’ve worked hard.”
“ah. You’ve been through a lot.”
The actors who were with me come and say hello.
Song-lia said hello with them and moved on.
‘I’ll leave the gayageum and look around.’
I wanted to say hi to Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon, and take a picture together if possible.
As a fan, I really wanted to meet you once, but to come to your job.
I’m sure you’ll find it
With that in mind, she hurried her steps.
“I… hello.”
A familiar voice came from behind.
Song-lia turned and looked at her opponent.
Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon were looking at her with their eyes twinkling.
gulp.
Songlia swallowed saliva.
