Insun Park & Generals is a groundbreaking fusion of rock, Korean traditional music, and mask dance rhythms. Leading the quartet is Insun Park, a master of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance, a traditional Korean dance. Park blends her dynamic vocal and dance performances with the talents of her fellow band members: Donghyuk Heo (composer/guitar), Hyunmo Yang (drums), Johyun Kim (taepyeongso/flute), and Hahyungki Baek (bass guitar). The result is a blend of ancestral art and contemporary sound that merges traditional rhythms with modern rock influences.
By pushing creative boundaries and offering a fresh perspective on Korea’s cultural heritage, Insun Park & Generals celebrates traditional mask dance with contemporary audiences.
Park has distinguished herself as one of the few female masters of the Gangnyeong Mask Dance, a tradition historically dominated by men. Renowned for her innovative spirit, she reimagines age-old songs and performance styles to connect with modern audiences and is a leading force in shaping the future of Korean traditional performing arts.
“[Park] is a master of playful mask dancing, transforming the traditionally group-based genre of mask dance into a captivating one-woman performance.”—The Korea Herald
