This event is the second installment in the "K-Pan" and "K-Pop!" series, following the first performance in October.

As with the first performance, Professor Kim Jeongbae from the Department of Creative Writing at Wonkwang University will participate as the commentator, offering a deeper exploration of the story and emotions of the pansori "Chunhyangga."

The cast features master pansori singer Park Gabin and gosu Shin Dongseon, who will continue the tradition's resonance. They will be joined by the humanities band Ray (guitarist Lee Sanguk, violinists Shin Ina and Song Dongjun, cellist Kim Jubin, and haegeum player Shim Jaerin) as well as guest soprano vocalist Park Seojeong. Together, they will reinterpret the narrative of classical pansori with a contemporary touch, presenting a moving stage that bridges tradition and modernity.

A representative from the National Iksan Museum stated, "Following the first performance in October, this event further deepens the impact of traditional pansori by expanding it through the musical expressions of K-POP. By reimagining the narrative of 'Chunhyangga' in a modern way, we are offering a special stage where tradition and modernity harmonize, providing a richer and more diverse musical experience."

The performance will take place at 2 PM on November 15 in the lobby of the National Iksan Museum, and admission is free. For more information, please visit the National Iksan Museum website.
