The Korean Men Project by Lee Hee-moon is a creative venture that reimagines traditional Korean folk songs (minyo) through a modern lens, connecting Korea's deep-rooted traditions with contemporary music. This project explores the essence of the traditional image of Korean men, using folk songs to express the emotions and stories that have shaped this identity.

In the Korean Men Project, Lee Hee-moon preserves the rich depth of traditional minyo while blending in modern rhythms and sounds, creating a unique musical experience that spans across eras. The project’s focus is on harmonizing the authenticity of folk traditions with fresh, modern interpretations, uncovering new pathways for Korean traditional music.

The Korean Men Project aims to break through the conventional boundaries of traditional music, incorporating musical experimentation and collaboration to engage contemporary listeners. With Lee Hee-moon’s passion and artistic direction, this project seeks to broaden the scope of Korean music, sharing the beauty and depth of traditional minyo with a new generation.
