Enjoy wonderful attractions of South Korea with a lively, rhythmic sound!

Feel the rhythm of Korea with the music that is based on a traditional Korean folk tale and wonderful dance.

Three videos are reaching over 60 million views! It’s really fun and addictive.

Someone said “Initially found the songs weird but then it became weirdly attractive to listen to. And now it’s an ear worm!” Wow.. olalla

Lyrics are here
“A tiger is coming down, a tiger is coming
A beast is coming down through the deep valley in the pine woods”

I can’t write the full text because of copyright, but there’s a comment in this clip that’s been translated incredibly well. He hit the rhyme!

LEENALCHI is an alternative pop band comprised of four traditional vocalists, a drummer, and two bassists, delivering musical storytelling through solos, choir, rapping and dance.

Particularly, Jang Young-gyu, basist, scored the films “Gokseong” and “Train to Busan.” It’s famous!

“We all sort of know what pansori is. But at the same time we are not at all familiar with it. Very few people enjoy the music…. So what now? We thought it is our job to make the traditional music sound simply like popular music, not pansori,” Jang added.
