 This is story about American gayageum player fascinates Korean
 
audience. I chose this article, because it is good news to many people who
 
wants to learn Korea's traditional instrument as well as gayaguem. Also, it
 
was special performance. That is usually playing by women. In this case,
 
however, the performer is a foreign man. The reason why he choose this
 
instrument, gayageum, he likes the sound it makes, also he just loves

gayaguem music. He was great it's performer with strong passion. He won

the first prize in the foreigners' division of a gukak competition this year.

Actually, I'm not interested in gukak as Korean, because it is a little

tedious for young people. However, I again think about gukak when I

read this article. He said, he want to find a job that relates to Korean

music. I hope too. I believe that he will be good player not as foreigner

but indeed player in Korea.
