Kim Chang-hoon, bassist of the iconic Korean band Sanullim, spent four years composing one song per weekday by setting Korean poems to music, reaching a milestone of 1,000 songs this June. Inspired in 2021 after discovering poet Jeong Hyun-jong’s work, Kim followed a strict rule of using each poem’s original text and only one poem per poet, often writing, memorizing melodies and editing videos himself before uploading them to YouTube. He compiled ten selected tracks into a commemorative album titled "You, Don’t Be Sick (당신, 아프지마)" and will perform a solo concert on Nov. 15 called "Pilgrim, It Will Be a Welcome (필경, 환대가 될 것이다)," focusing on the poems rather than the performer. Kim describes the project as a healing, disciplined journey that deepened his composing skills and aims to share the appreciation of poetry with broader audiences.
