About the Artist

Experience a groundbreaking fusion of rock, Korean traditional music, and mask-dance rhythms with Insun Park & Generals. A master of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance, designated as Korea’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage, Park leads the band, blending her dynamic vocal and dance performances alongside the talents of Donghyuk Heo (composer/guitar), Hyunmo Yang (drums), Johyun Kim (taepyeongso/flute), and Hahyungki Baek (bass guitar). Park stands out as one of the few female masters of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance, a tradition historically dominated by men. With her band, she creates a dynamic blend of ancestral art and contemporary sound, seamlessly merging traditional rhythms with modern rock influences.
