[Concert Introduction] At the forefront of every timeline that has been called upon At some point, we find ourselves standing before an unfamiliar landscape. K-pop, which the world first goes wild for and Korea follows suit to confirm; K-pop that has grown into a vast worldview, expanding into animation, games, and virtual worlds. Parallel to this flow, the textures of the emotions and narratives built by Korean popular music have also walked along the same timeline. Kim Chang-wan is a rare artist who has carried on that continuity as a single entity. From the experimental nature of Sanulim and the lyricism of folk music to the innocence of children's songs and the everyday language found in dramas—he is a generation that remembers the emotional archetypes that existed before K-pop, and an artist who knows how to view today's industrialized music with a gaze of observation rather than judgment. Overlapping the two axes that have run along the same timeline—K-pop as an industrial system and Korean popular music as a record of emotions—on the single stage of the Kim Chang-wan Band, we replay K-pop in our own unique language. [Easy Text] At some point, we find ourselves facing an unfamiliar landscape. These days, overseas K-pop first goes wild, and Korea follows suit to confirm it. It extends into animation, games, and virtual worlds. K-pop has now become a massive world. Beside it, Korean popular music has walked the same path through time, preserving the textures of emotions and stories accumulated over a long period. Kim Chang-wan is a rare artist who has carried that long history together as one. From the experimental rock of Sanulim, the lyricism of folk, the clarity of children's songs, to the everyday language found in dramas—he belongs to a generation that remembers the emotions our music held before K-pop existed. At the same time, he is an artist who knows how to quietly observe today's music without hastily judging it. K-pop, which has grown into an industry, and Korean popular music, which has recorded our hearts. We place these two musical traditions, which have raced through the same time, side by side on the stage of the Kim Chang-wan Band. And we listen to today's K-pop anew in our own language.
