Middle Schoolers Take on a Musical Challenge

Young musicians traveled to Korea International School Pangyo to put on a masterful performance. On April 11th, the Korean International Music Education Association (KIMEA) held its annual Middle School Honor Band Festival. After months of hard work, young maestros shared their talents, made new connections, and pursued their passions at the event. Over 200 participants from ten different schools gathered for a memorable experience.

The Next Generation of the K-indie Scene Arrives in Seoul

Last summer, my friend invited me to catch an underground indie band called Wave to Earth. Though at first I felt skeptical, their music completely enchanted me after just one listen. Unlike the usual K-pop music that many Koreans are familiar with, the songs they performed were unedited and expressive. Each performer mastered their instruments so well, it sounded like they ate CDs for breakfast. We even got a serendipitous chance to meet them backstage, and after hanging out with the members in person, I officially declared myself a huge fan.

COVID concerns are still paramount, and drastic measures were taken to ensure the show went on safely.
