Red Velvet's popular song,'Red Taste', is played by Seoul City as it is in the light summer feel.


Piano and percussion instruments are added to the texture of the rich orchestral music, giving it a different charm from the original music.

This is an arrangement by Park In-young, a film music director who recently became an academy member.

[Park In-young/Director of Movie Music'Red Taste' Arrangement: It's the rap part, ah! Let's express this with musical instruments, and copy the pitch of each word in the original song one by one, and use it as a string instrument and a woodwind instrument... .]

Seoul Sihyang signed a business agreement with SM Entertainment last month and played K-Pop for the first time.

Sensational music videos taken at the Sejong Center have also been released, and have been well received.

Last year, held by the Lincoln Center in New York Like the K-pop orchestra performance, the encounter between K-pop and classical music is increasing.

SM Entertainment established its own classic label and began this movement in earnest.

[Lee Sung-soo/SM Entertainment CEO: Doesn't the term “classic” have a lot of meaning? Musical, intrinsic values, what this classic has to do with K-pop, and what we're doing now is more actively reflected in the music and content… .]

The era of convergence across boundaries. The collaboration between K-Pop and Classic that looks for new content and new audiences will become more diverse.
