The arts group also participated in the filming of the promotion video for PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games 2018.

One ticket per person regardless of age. Admission subject to age limit specified for each event.

The running time of each performance is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes without intermission.

The presenter reserves the right to change the programme and substitute artists.

TAGO Group, established in Korea in 2005, is a Korean traditional music group formed by a group of young artists.  Given that Gugak was not popular among youngsters in Korea, the group was founded to retain and develop such art form and to gain youngsters’ attention on Gugak.  TAGO Group has been designated as Seoul's professional arts group and received the Grand Prize of the Seoul Metro New Korean Music Award in 2015.   They also participated in the filming of the promotion video for PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games 2018.  

TAGO: Korean Drum is co-produced by TAGO Group and AtoBIZ Limited.
