  orean classical music, or “K-Classics,” is a young f eld. It is 
  a youth that has the power to infuse a contemporary quality 
  into classical music, rescuing it from its status as a simple museum 
  piece. As the stars that lit up the world classical music stage in 
  the postwar era began to fade away one by one, the global music 
  industry demanded new faces and new ears. Korean classical music 
  today is an inspirational answer to that call.
