Step into the soundscape of Korea’s rich past—

JIJIDAEAK brings the soul of traditional Korean culture to life through music and performance.
With deep respect for age-old traditions and a passion for artistic expression, we create experiences that are both elegant and deeply moving.
Every performance is crafted to suit the space and the audience, ensuring a unique and unforgettable encounter with Korean heritage.
We produce and perform traditional Korean works.
Our signature piece, Jinyeon(進宴), is a curated journey through Korea’s ceremonial music, jjeongak(court music), sanjo(instrumental solo improvisation), and even contemporary reinterpretations—allowing audiences to experience the breadth of Korean traditional arts in a single performance.
We also create original compositions rooted in tradition.
We study Korea’s time-honored traditions and forge new ones—ensuring that traditional music is not only preserved but continually reborn for generations to come.
Whether at home or abroad, we present high-quality traditional Korean performances wherever they are needed.
With a team of seasoned artists and producers, we offer refined programs that span jeongak(court music), sanjo(instrumental solo improvisation), jeongga(classical vocal music), yeonhui(traditional performance art), and contemporary gugak(Korean traditional music).
JIJIDAEAK is committed to preserving the full beauty and spirit of Korea’s traditional cultural arts.

2024 SEIC Plogging experience has been a great activity to keep the world clean & Green :)
Our speakers and participants engage in a plogging activity near the Han River Park, picking up every litter on the radar. It was a very memorable experience to us all as we cruised on the beautiful Han River after plogging.
Be sure to stay engaged in the green and healthy activities for your health and Mother Earth! 🌍
Stay tuned for another Mission Possible this upcoming 2025 SEIC!
