Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra to Release M/V 'Ak(樂) ui Yeondaegi' on YouTube on the 15th

North Korea and North Korea's Solidarity Echo Delivered on South Korea's August 15th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] “Let what must collapse collapse, what is hidden be revealed, what is crooked be corrected, what is rotten be cut out, and promptly grant liberation worthy of its name. Ta-da!”

The Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra announced on the 11th that it will release the music video ‘Chronicle of Music (Ak)’ through YouTube and Naver TV channels at 3 p.m. on the 15th to commemorate the 76th anniversary of Liberation Day.

The M/V ‘Chronicle of Music (Ak)’ is the fourth release of Season 3 of the online performance series ‘Emotional Prescription’ presented by the Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra. It is the resonant solidarity of drums on Korea’s 8.15, marking seventy-six years.

Through a percussion ensemble featuring daebuk (large barrel drums), yonggo (dragon drums), and modeumbuk (assorted drums), it aimed to capture the dynamic image of various streams merging into one great wave.

In particular, guerrilla filming was attempted at locations such as Mokpo Modern History and Culture Street, Jeonnam Provincial Government Plaza, and Peace Plaza, drawing enthusiastic responses from on-site audiences with the drum sounds breaking the silence of peaceful daily life. The rapidly edited transitions following the ever-changing rhythms and beats of the drums are expected to stimulate viewers’ interest.

Ryu Hyungseon, Artistic Director of the Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra, explained, “What should be struck is revealed without reservation, and what has been suppressed can break free and rise. Although it is a wordless percussion ensemble, you will be able to feel the resonance of what it wants to say.”

Meanwhile, a review event for the music video ‘Chronicle of Music (Ak)’ will be held through the Jeonnam Provincial Gugak Orchestra’s Instagram.

In September, to commemorate the 41st anniversary of the May 18 Democratic Uprising, a concert titled ‘Spring of Myanmar, Meeting Gwangju’ for Myanmar’s democratization will be performed on the 1st at Gwangju Bitgoeul Citizen Culture Center and on the 4th at Yeosu GS Caltex Yeulmaru Grand Theater.
