Courtesy of NTOK By Park Ji-won The National Theater of Korea (NTOK) will unveil its lecture video series "Let's Gugak II" on YouTube in three foreign languages on Aug. 12, as part of its efforts to promote the Korean traditional performing arts to non-Koreans. As a follow-up to the first "Let's Gugak" series released in January, the NTOK will release a video each Thursday for nine weeks in three different categories of traditional performing arts: samul-janggu (hourglass-shaped drum), pansori (traditional narrative vocal style) and Korean traditional dance. In each video, the members of the NTOK and experts will provide basic and practice videos of each traditional art form with English, Chinese and Japanese subtitles. The first batch of nine videos from January had subtitles in English only.
