Welcome to Episode 2 of Gugak Breeze!

This time, we dive deep into the world of Korean metal percussion instruments — including Kkwaenggwari, Jing, Kwangsoe, Jeongju, and Bara.

From their cultural roots to subtle performance techniques, you'll discover how these instruments carry both power and sensitivity.

🎧 I also share my personal story — how I fell in love with these sounds, the journey of meeting a teacher who changed my path, and how I’ve used metal percussion to express my inner world, even during international residencies.

“A great metal percussionist can even lull a baby to sleep.”

Let’s find out why.
