The soundtrack of the [Land of the Morning Light] consists of music bound to envelop you in the musical joy of gugak. The goal of this project was to provide the experience of classic, traditional gugak played on modern instruments with a melody that expresses the beauty of Korea in "Land of the Morning Light."

"Part 2. Fright" consists of gugak from which you can experience "Han," the feeling of resentment, pain, and sorrow of vengeful souls.

We chose "Fright" to express a tradition among Koreans to beat the blazing summer heat. They not only use the "chills" from watching horror films, but also from eating refreshing fruits in a breezy gazebo and dipping their feet in the cool waters of a valley.

Listen to the frightful melodies from the Land of the Morning Light that are sure to send chills down your spine.
