KOREA III: 가나다라마바사 | A Song of Hangul & Connection

“KOREA III: 가나다라마바사” is a song about the room we make for one another’s voices. From letters written on a page to a name spoken back, it follows the simple connection of being heard and understood. Its accompanying essay reflects on Hangul, jeong, hyo, and Arirang through the care that connects people across everyday life and generations. The song asks what our words and choices will leave for those who come after us. “Your words have a place beside mine.” Read the accompanying essay: https://level-up.audio/ga-na-da-ra-ma...
