Those at K-Festival experience Korean Traditional Music with Kayarang, musician duo who master the Gayageum (a traditional Korean stringed instrument). The twins wore traditional hanbok and personally hand picked the songs for Malaysians to "Imagine Your Korea". They perform Rasa Sayang (Malaysian Song) and also sang along to it. Of course, when mentioning traditional Korean music "Arirang" comes to mind. Kayarang mentioned Sanjo music which has been around over 2000 years old is good music therapy and judging from the crowd reaction, they all agree too.

Korean Royal Hanbok Fashion Show was also held at K-Festival. The grand fashion show showcased beautiful hanbok following the hierarchical order.
