To Korea with Hangeul
Han Chang-min
To Korea with Hangeul' is a song about the excellence of the Korean language, Hangeul and Korean culture. It portrays a man who receives a letter from an unknown sender, who asks him about the Korean language, Hangeul and Korean culture, and the man starts to travel Korea’s historic and cultural sites. The song was inspired by National Hangeul Museum, founded to reveal the brilliance of Hangeul, and Korea’s traditional houses as well as Samcheongdong, which offers exciting cultural experiences. The lyrics consists of Korean consonants, i.e. Ga, Na, Da, Ra, Ma, Ba, Sa, Ah, Ja, Cha, Ka, Ta, Pa and Ha in the form of a 14-line poem, expressing my personal impressions of Hangeul and Korea, and things about Korea that I’d love to tell.
