the fact that i learned what a taepyeongso is through ‘the real’, and the proceeded to start digging deeper into its history, and watching videos of the instrument being played and loved every moment of it… is also why i love ateez so so much.
fun fact, i used to do contract work for a very notable museum and research institute in the US exploring the horace allen collection & the museums' korean instruments collection... and contributed to repatriation efforts (because i believe western arts institutions need to give back these artifacts to their rightful owners because the west need to stop stealing sh-t) and i went back to my old boss and also explored more about the instruments used.
