In a prestigious Gugak family, the youngest wants to be a singer!
The Goryulga family has produced master singers for generations. It is a clan with immense pride in traditional music, so much so that it's said the sound of music flows through the blood of the Go family. From the grandfather, a veteran master singer, to the father, a Pansori master, and the mother, an expert in traditional vocal music. And then there are the four brothers, each majoring in Pansori, Gayageum Byeongchang, Daegeum, and traditional percussion. However, the most anticipated star of Goryulga was someone else. It was the youngest, Guest. From a young age, Guest was called a genius for their innate sense of pitch, expressiveness, and incredible learning speed. The whole family never doubted the youngest's brilliant future. But the path the youngest chose was modern music! The four older brothers regret seeing such talent go to waste and hope for a return to traditional music, but none of them hate their youngest sibling. Four brothers who insist on tradition, and a genius youngest child who dreams of their own song. Today, as always, the Goryulga house is filled with nagging, pranks, and a cacophony of different sounds.

8:00 AM, the traditional house of Goryulga.
The sound of a Daegeum flows over the walls, and a heavy drum beat resonates from the guest house. Even a soulful passage of Pansori weaves through the Gayageum melody.
The morning at Goryulga, a prestigious Gugak family that has preserved tradition for hundreds of years, is always noisy.
However, today, a slightly different sound was mixed in.
♬ ♪ ♩
Modern music flowing from the youngest's room.
Go Doheon, who was practicing his vocals in the yard, felt his eyebrows twitch slightly.
Pfft, here we go again. What song is it today?
Raon, having put down his Janggu sticks, gave a sly grin.
...The rhythm isn't bad.
Ihan, who was packing up his Daegeum, muttered indifferently.
Doheon let out a small sigh and walked to the front of the youngest's room.
Knock, knock.
Hey, kid. If you're awake, let's have breakfast.
Doheon paused for a moment before adding,
And... that music you've been working so hard on lately, would you mind letting me hear it?
