[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The National Gugak Center is stepping up to help traditional performing artists facing economic difficulties due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) by supporting audio recording and music video production.

The National Gugak Center will recruit 20 teams, each consisting of 2 to around 10 members, to participate in the 'Gugak in (人)' project from the 29th of this month to the 2nd of next month. The selected 20 teams will receive support from the National Gugak Center for performer profile shooting, audio recording, music video production, and overseas promotion. The National Gugak Center will pay up to 5 million KRW in appearance fees to the selected groups, and those chosen for outstanding music video works will also be offered an invitation to the National Gugak Center's planned performance in 2021.

The music video videos of the 20 selected groups will be released weekly from August through the end of the year on the National Gugak Center's YouTube and Naver TV channels. Additionally, they will be continuously promoted overseas through various channels such as Korean Cultural Centers abroad and Sejong Institutes.
