The Korean Music Copyright Association announced on June 10 that it provided career mentoring education for members of the Youth Ureuk Gugak Ensemble at Chungju City Hall in Chungcheongbuk-do on June 8.

This program was organized as a follow-up to the association's donation of 30 million won in educational support funds to the ensemble in March.

The event was attended by Min-sook Lee, Vice President of the Korean Music Copyright Association; Sungja Chung, Director of the association and lecturer for the day; about 20 ensemble members; and their parents. Director Chung offered advice on career paths and learning directions for those majoring in Korean traditional music, and demonstrated traditional instruments herself. She also discussed the importance of stage experience and the roles of young musicians in the field of Korean traditional music.

Director Chung commented, "I hope today's lecture will serve as a small compass for students as they make decisions about their future careers." Vice President Lee stated, "We will continue to provide support and opportunities for exchange so that young people can learn and grow in a stable environment."

Going forward, the association plans to invite the ensemble members to its headquarters for field trips to the music industry and additional copyright education.
