Album Introduction
Master Kang Jeong-suk Releases Seo Gong-cheol-style Gayageum Sanjo Album Inyeon
Master Kang Jeong-suk, a prominent figure in contemporary Korean folk music, has released her new album Inyeon, featuring Seo Gong-cheol-style Gayageum Sanjo. This style, originating from the Han Suk-gu school of music, stands as one of the two great traditions of sanjo alongside that of Kim Chang-jo, the renowned founder of the genre. Seo Gong-cheol’s lineage holds a vital place in the history and evolution of sanjo.
Having studied directly under Han Suk-gu, Master Kang not only inherited Seo Gong-cheol’s melodies but also enriched them with her own creative interpretations. In particular, she expanded the hwimori movement, presenting it in a far more diverse and dynamic manner than in the original style. Recognized as a holder of National Intangible Cultural Property No. 23 (Gayageum Sanjo and Byeongchang), Master Kang continues to play a central role in preserving and innovating within this tradition.
Through this album, listeners can fully experience the essence of Seogongcheolryu Sanjo, a style still transmitted solely through oral tradition and renowned for its improvisational strength. Inyeon is both a preservation of heritage and a testament to the living, evolving spirit of sanjo.
