The Jeonju World Sound Festival is officially launching the platform "Sound NEXT" for the future of Korean traditional music. Sound NEXT has been selected as a festival for the "2026 Genre Market Hub Support Project" by the (Foundation) Arts Management Support Center, which aims to create a new growth base for the Korean traditional music ecosystem, covering the discovery of emerging artists, creation, distribution, and international exchange.
"Sound NEXT" has been the flagship project pursued by the Sound Festival since last year to establish a sustainable ecosystem for the future of Korean traditional music. This year, a total of 60 delegates, including 10 from 8 countries overseas and 50 individuals from 34 domestic organizations, will be invited to gather artists, planners, producers, and performance professionals from home and abroad in one place to explore new works and broaden the possibilities of distribution. Through this, they plan to expand the foundation for Korean traditional music creation and support domestic and international expansion.
Firstly, at "Sound Choice," one can meet the most prominent Korean traditional music creation performances in one place. Various art groups and artists such as Kim Mi-sun × Seo Jeong-sook × Yoo In-sang, Yoo Bin Dance Collective, Seum, Neudat, Seo Jeong-min, Blue Chant, Namdo Colling, Dongyang High Frequency, and Siot will showcase stages filled with their unique personalities and experimental spirits, presenting new trends and possibilities in contemporary Korean traditional music.
The program "Sound Frontier," which discovers the next generation of Korean traditional music artists, is also a program to watch. With the participation of Audrey, Modern Korean Music Project Chaoreum, Hwang Jin-ah, and Oreumsae, they will present fresh musical attempts and unique stages, confirming the potential of the next generation of artists who will lead the future of Korean traditional music.
There will also be a "Sound Forum" discussing the present and future of Korean traditional music together. Through various discourses connecting the art scene and the cultural industry, they will explore the direction Korean traditional music should take and sustainable development strategies, continuing in-depth discussions on creative environments and the art ecosystem.
In addition, "Sound Visiting" will be operated as a tour-type program for domestic and international performance planners, festival officials, and cultural arts experts to experience and exchange regional resources such as cultural arts and intangible heritage in Jeollabuk-do Special Self-Governing Province.
Sound NEXT is not just a simple performance program but a new art hub where Korean traditional music creation, distribution, and international exchange are organically connected. It provides emerging artists with opportunities to advance to broader stages, offers performance professionals opportunities to discover excellent content, and gives audiences a special experience of meeting the present and future of Korean traditional music that they should pay attention to in one place.
Kim Jung-soo, the executive director of the Sound Festival, emphasized, "The future of Korean traditional music begins on a stage where good artists can challenge and grow to their heart's content," and stated, "Through Sound NEXT, the Sound Festival will strive to connect creation, distribution, and international exchange, establish itself as a leading distribution platform linking traditional music and world music."
