SEOUL, Nov. 5 (Korea Bizwire) — A new form of cultural content combining a novel, Korean traditional music and video will be introduced to cyberspace this week, a South Korean public organization said Tuesday.
The Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (SFAC), a nonprofit public organization established by the Seoul metropolitan government, said its first online “pansori” featuring Korean classical music, literature and visual arts will be unveiled on YouTube on Friday.
Pansori is a genre of musical storytelling performed by a vocalist and a drummer.
The first episode of pansori on the web, titled “Dalmun: A man of infinite goodness,” will be disclosed on the foundation’s YouTube channel, SFAC TV, at 3 p.m. Friday.
Thereafter, a new episode will be unveiled every Friday in November.
