About

Revelry in nature, open to all.

A sustainable arts performance set against the natural heritage of Seochon in central Seoul — celebrating the traditional solar term of Hallo and Hangeul Day, where anyone can take part without distinction.

Inwangsan has long been a place where scholars enjoyed poetry, calligraphy and painting. On the very mountain Gyeomjae Jeong Seon captured in Inwangjesaekdo, at Suseongdong Valley where Prince Anpyeong’s Bihaedang once stood — tradition and the present, generation and generation, flow together again.

We experience culture not through sight alone, but through sound, touch, and the wind and water of Mt. Inwang. A universal cultural service anyone can enjoy, regardless of disability — that is the barrier-free spirit of Pungnyu for All.

A holder of the Daegeum Sanjo tradition (National Intangible Heritage). Born and raised in Seochon, he carries the wind of Inwangsan’s valleys in his bamboo flute.

Ko Seok-jin

Percussion

A performer of the Goseong Ogwangdae tradition. He opens the gate of pungnyu with delicate yet spirited percussion and the sound of water.

Lee Wan

Hangeul Improvisation

A calligraphy and seal-engraving artist who transcribes the sensation of flowing music onto a great canvas in Hangeul brushwork.

Seo Hyeon

Singing Bowls · Meditation

A singing-bowl therapist expressing healing through the sounds of nature. Korean bangjja bronze bowls resonate with the valley streams.

Above the sound of the stream — daegeum
The whole forest becomes the venue
An invitation at the valley’s entrance
The valley stage — daegeum, piano and percussion meet the forest
