Second Moon is a dynamic 7-member band that blends Korean Pansori, a style of musical storytelling, with Irish music by incorporating instruments like Irish whistle, bodhran, and mandolin.
The band gained recognition in 2006 when they were selected for “Rookie of the Year” and “Record of the Year” at the Korean Music Awards, and their music was featured in hit K-dramas such as ‘Princess Hours’ and ‘Goong S.’
Originally created as a side project by the prolific music arrangers Park Jin-woo and Kim Hyun-bo, Second Moon first came to prominence as one of South Korea's best known folk pop bands through their catchy and remarkably popular Korean television soundtracks, including the scores for The Legend of the Blue Sea and Love in the Moonlight. The group has since expanded into a touring ensemble whose performances draw inspiration from ethnic folk songs sourced from around the world, including Korean pansori, Irish traditional, American country western and bluegrass, Romani jazz manouche, and Chinese opera.
Second Moon: Moonlight flows is co-presented by the Korean Cultural Center New York and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the ROK-U.S. Alliance.
This performance is supported by Arts Council Korea, Korean Traditional Performing Arts Foundation, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea.
