According to Koryoin Village on the 7th, the orchestra has been holding annual regular concerts with the support of Koryoin Village leaders, the local community, and Gwangju City. In this era of population decline, they are dedicated to discovering and developing the artistic talents of youth.

For this new recruitment, Koryoin youth specializing in various instruments are participating and holding regular ensemble practices every week. Director Jo Jeonghee said, "The new members are adapting quickly," and added, "It is encouraging to see them understand each other's cultures and grow together through music."

The orchestra is preparing for performances at local events and on various stages. Koryoin Village representative Shin Joyah stated, "We will spare no effort to support our youth so they can experience a broader world through music."

Koryoin Village plans to continue operating the orchestra alongside the children's choir, aiming to instill pride and confidence in the children of Koryoin compatriots.
