Kang San-eh X Jeong Bo-kwon : Practical Guide to the Yeowoorak Festival 2026 Concert

Kang San-eh X Jeong Bo-kwon <Mulkkokko> is a two-date concert program within Yeowoorak Festival 2026, centered on the meeting of rock, pansori, and traditional Korean vocal repertory. The performance takes place on July 4-5, 2026 at Haneul Theater, National Theater of Korea, with a 70-minute running time and all seats priced at 35,000 won.¹

For readers trying to separate the festival from the specific show, <Mulkkokko> is the individual concert to track. Yeowoorak Festival 2026 runs from July 3-25, 2026 at the National Theater of Korea’s Haneul Theater and Daloreum Theater, while <Mulkkokko> occupies the July 4-5 weekend slot at Haneul Theater.²

Kang San-eh X Jeong Bo-kwon <Mulkkokko>: Essential Details

The National Theater of Korea lists <Mulkkokko> as a concert genre program and presents it as part of the 2026 Yeowoorak Festival. Its introduction explains that Kang San-eh’s representative songs and pansori or traditional vocal repertory are reinterpreted through each other’s methods.¹ That is the main point to understand before booking: the show is not described as a standard rock concert with a short traditional segment, but as a collaborative reinterpretation between two musical approaches.

Culture Portal also identifies the production as a music and concert performance and provides the practical schedule: Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m. The same listing confirms the 70-minute duration, the 35,000 won all-seat price, and the inquiry number 02-2280-4114.³

Because <Mulkkokko> runs on only two dates, the first planning decision is simple: choose between the Saturday evening performance and the Sunday afternoon performance. The Saturday 7:30 p.m. slot suits readers looking for an evening concert schedule, while the Sunday 3:00 p.m. slot may be easier for those who prefer an earlier finish. The supplied sources do not state refund rules, seat-map details, remaining ticket inventory, or access guidance, so those items should be checked through the official venue or ticketing channel before purchase.

What to Expect From the Musical Concept

The concert’s appeal rests on the meeting of two performance vocabularies. The National Theater of Korea’s description points to a reciprocal structure: Kang San-eh’s songs are not merely placed next to traditional repertory, and pansori or traditional sound is not treated only as accompaniment. The available description says both sides are reinterpreted through each other’s methods.¹

Hankyung described Yeowoorak Festival 2026 as a festival where traditional music meets genres including rock, blues, and street dance. In that context, it identified <Mulkkokko> as a musical crossing involving pansori sung by a rocker and rock music sung by a traditional vocalist.⁴ AsiaToday likewise reported that Kang San-eh and sorikkun Jeong Bo-kwon use <Mulkkokko> to explore a new point of contact between rock music and pansori.⁵

This makes <Mulkkokko> a particularly relevant pick for audiences who are interested in genre exchange rather than a single fixed format. Readers familiar with Kang San-eh can expect the program to involve his representative songs, while those following Korean traditional performance can expect pansori and traditional vocal repertory to be part of the concert’s structure. The sources do not provide a tracklist, set order, guest list, or detailed staging notes.

The broader festival context also matters. Newsis reported that Yeowoorak is short for “Here, our music exists” in Korean and that the 2026 festival takes place at Haneul Theater and Daloreum Theater from July 3-25, 2026.² That places <Mulkkokko> near the beginning of the festival, immediately after the July 3 opening date.

Booking and Visit Checklist

Before booking, confirm the performance date and time carefully. The two listed showtimes are not interchangeable: the Saturday performance is at 7:30 p.m., and the Sunday performance is at 3:00 p.m.³ If attending with children, note that the National Theater of Korea listing gives the viewing age as elementary school age and above.¹

The listed ticket price is straightforward: 35,000 won for all seats.¹ Since the sources do not include seat categories, discounts, package availability, cancellation rules, or remaining inventory, readers should treat the price as the confirmed base information and verify booking conditions at the point of purchase. For direct inquiries, Culture Portal lists 02-2280-4114.³
