Final Descent and HUSET are thrilled to present the Korean group Leenalchi, who are infusing new, psychedelic energy into the traditional Korean musical storytelling form, Pansori. Expect centuries-old fairy tale storytelling and impressive vocal arrangements set against a backdrop of pulsating kraut-rock and groovy new-wave, all delivered live at HUSET's stage for experimental music and theater, Xenon

The alternative K-pop group Leenalchi breathes new life into the ancient Korean singing tradition of Pansori, presented in a candy-striped new wave universe reminiscent of Devo, Kraftwerk, and The B-52's.

Leenalchi is an alternative K-pop group that has successfully reinterpreted the ancient Korean tale Sugungga. They have garnered three statuettes at the Korean Music Awards, and their debut performance of "Sugungga" on YouTube has gone viral, amassing over 18 million views.

The story unfolds in a mythical land inhabited by a dragon king, a softshell turtle, and a wily rabbit. This whimsical fantasy universe harmoniously blends with bubbly synths and funky rhythms inspired by electronic beat music from the 1970's and 80's

With a seven-member lineup, Leenalchi boasts four vocalists who skillfully blend traditional Korean singing with airy K-pop vocals. In live performances, Leenalchi delivers a complete musical storytelling experience that incorporates rap, dance, choral arrangements, and solo singing. They seamlessly fuse historical awareness with an irresistibly playful and comic-like lightheartedness.

K-pop has been gaining a growing audience in Europe, the USA, and beyond. Beyond the mainstream charts, numerous exciting experiments explore both the past and future of the genre, with Leenalchi boldly leading the way
