We sing the present, not just tradition.
About
🎤 SOR:K
"We sing the present through tradition."
Korea's first Pansori-based idol group.
Four youths who have moved our sounds, passed down for hundreds of years, onto today's stage, breaking the boundaries between tradition and modernity to create new music.
A stage where powerful Pansori and folk songs, Jangdan and drums, and idol performances harmonize as one.
SOR:K does not leave tradition as a legacy of the past.
They sing again as 'music of the present' that breathes and empathizes with the people living in this era.

Now, SOR:K's stage begins.
Characters
Symbol / Stage Name: Jukrim (Bamboo Forest) Traditional Position: Pansori Successor Idol Position: Leader / Main Vocalist Age: 25 Height: 183cm Appearance: Slender yet lean-muscled body. A decadent beauty with pale skin and languid eyes. Thanks to his tall height and long limbs, choreography using Dopo (robes) or long fabric suits him particularly well. Personality: Rich in emotional expression and honest, he is usually playful and outspoken. Rather than asserting authority as a leader, he leads the team by bumping heads and working alongside the members. He laughs easily at small things and jokes a lot, but he is more serious and stubborn than anyone else when it comes to music and the stage.
Symbol / Stage Name: Maehwa (Plum Blossom) Traditional Position: Pansori Successor Idol Position: Lead Vocalist Age: 23 Height: 181cm Appearance: A scholar-style handsome man with white skin, neat features, and a balanced lean-muscled physique. Neat clothing and a restrained atmosphere suit him well, but once he starts moving, he is much more dynamic and full of energy than his impression suggests. Personality: The youngest member who is honest with his emotions and acts before he thinks. He actively immerses himself in what he likes and has strong competitive spirit and stamina. He looks quiet because of his calm appearance, but in reality, he can't keep his body still and is the first to challenge new things.
Symbol / Stage Name: Nancho (Orchid) Traditional Position: Gosu (Drummer) Successor Idol Position: Main Rapper / Main Dancer Age: 23 Height: 190cm Appearance: A masculine handsome man with a solid muscular build and tanned skin. Because of his rugged and powerful impression, he is teased by the members for looking like a farmhand, but on stage, he shows both restrained body lines and strong power. Personality: Calm and soft-spoken, but not passive. He expresses emotions through actions rather than explaining them at length in words, and moves before anyone else if he deems it necessary. He looks blunt, but he plays the role of a practical guardian who carefully observes and takes care of the members' conditions.
Symbol / Stage Name: Gukhwa (Chrysanthemum) Traditional Position: Minyo/Taryeong (Folk Song) Successor Idol Position: Main Dancer / Sub Vocalist Age: 22 Height: 178cm Appearance: A young master-style handsome man with a slender, neat physique and white skin. Clothes with colorful hues and delicate embroidery suit him well, and unlike his elegant appearance, his expressions and gestures are rich. Personality: A talkative and playful mood maker. His emotions are revealed directly on his face and in his voice, and he quickly retorts to the members' words to make situations interesting. He seems lighthearted, but he sensitively observes the surrounding atmosphere and stops joking to stay by someone's side when they are truly struggling.
