[오뉴월 Oh New World]
Oh New World is a contemporary Gugak duo with two young musicians playing the haegeum and gayageum. The team tries to musically express the spirit of a Korean phrase ‘On-go-ji-shin,’ meaning “adopting new things while keeping the virtues of old ways.”
The duo, mostly singing on the life of youth in their 20s, consists of Jang So-yeon (haegeum player and the team’s leader) and Kwon Aram (gayageum player and composer).
The team will play the music of healing and comfort for all the young people of today under the theme “Let Gugak Sing for the Youth.”

[곡소개 Work Description]
Sarang-ga("Love Song") / composed by Kwon Aram
Sarang-ga (“Love Song”) sings of a love story of young lovers in their 20s, showcasing the duo’s uniqueness. The romantic ballad depicts a person who falls in love with a stranger at first sight. The work has been remade from the famous pansori song with the same title about Lee Mongryong and Seong Chunhyang, with a modern spin added for wider accessibility.
The merry and adorable piece depicts a sweet love story full of Spring scents, singing “All my life I’ve waited for you. Now come to me.”
(Lyrics)
Where have you been? Waited for you so long
The street, all in pink, welcomes two of us
Now I know what I have missed so long
It was you, the love of my life.
Oh Love, love, now I know what love is.
Of all the people walking around, only you do I see
Come close, come closer to me
Let me see your adorable face up close
Hold me tight and see my face
I love your eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks and everything you.
(bridge)
My life without you means nothing to me
Be with me and make my life happy
Come close, come closer to me
Let me see your adorable face up close
Hold me tight and see my face
I love your eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks and everything you.
