A Healing Melody in Nature: Sogeum Class at Seoul Botanic Park

Itaewon Global Village Center, together with Seoul Botanic Park, is hosting a special sogeum (traditional Korean bamboo flute) class in a hanok surrounded by the natural charm of Seoul Botanic Park.

In this program, participants will learn to play the sogeum while finding inner stillness in the calm setting of a traditional Korean house. The sogeum is a small transverse bamboo flute with a clear, bright tone that has been part of Korean music for centuries. Its gentle sound pairs naturally with quiet breathing and mindful listening, making this a wonderful opportunity to experience Korean traditional music while taking a restful pause from city life.

The class is designed as a hands-on experience led by a professional instructor. Participants will begin with breathing meditation, learn the basics of playing the sogeum, and finish by performing the well-known Korean folk song 'Sae-ya, Sae-ya' together. Best of all, participants take their sogeum home to keep practicing.

Date: Thursday, October 29, 14:00–15:30
Capacity: 10 participants
Participation Fee: 10,000 Won
Location: Hanok at Seoul Botanic Park
Language of Instruction: Korean with English Interpretation
