Pansori performance 'Sugung-ga' ('Gwitto' in Korean) offers wisdom amid pandemic

Since last year, “Sugungga,” one of the five existing repertoires of “pansori,” or the Korean genre of musical storytelling, became popular among a wider audience after being partially adopted by an alternative pop band called Leenalchi. The band rose to stardom after successfully leading the country's tourism campaign, “Feel the Rhythm of Korea,” with its addictive music and electronic beats. One of its YouTube videos had received 46.6 million views as of Sunday.
