Leading Figure in K-POP, "Hee Moon Lee Project"
Free Admission on a First-Come, First-Served Basis
Jeongeup City, North Jeolla Province, will host a performance of "Obangsin and Spangle" by the Hee Moon Lee Project, a leading figure in traditional K-POP, at 7 p.m. on the 12th at the Jeongeupsa Art Hall.
According to the city on the 4th, Hee Moon Lee, a certified holder of Gyeonggi Minyo (National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 57), is also known as the "Idol of Joseon" and a "B-grade folk singer." He is an artist who has established a unique musical world called "K-Traditional Pop" by blending folk songs with various genres such as pop, dance, rock, and blues.
Through appearances on domestic broadcasting programs, he has connected with the public, sparked the interest of younger generations in traditional music, and helped break the stereotype that folk songs are outdated. This "Obangsin and Spangle" performance is expected to showcase the pinnacle of Hee Moon Lee's musical journey.
The band Heosongsaewol and the folk song duo Nomnom will join as collaborators for the performance, adding even more richness and diversity to the folk music, and offering a new musical experience that breaks down the boundaries between tradition and modernity.
The performance is open to those aged 8 and older, with free admission on a first-come, first-served basis starting 30 minutes before the show begins.
Mayor Lee Haksoo stated, "Through art, we will strive to provide citizens with the joy of cultural experiences and vitality in daily life, fostering cultural literacy and improving the quality of life for our citizens."
