From Cho Yong-pil to Lim Young-woong, 'The Musician' to be Released in September! The Stories of Korea's Guitar Legends!

Behind the dazzling lights, the 'session' that quietly completes the stage and music, a documentary capturing the stories of six legendary guitarists of Korea, 〈The Musician〉 has confirmed its release in September and unveiled its teaser poster. The film 〈The Musician〉 is a documentary that tells the stories of session musicians and guitarists who quietly sweat behind the scenes, completing the music of artists who receive cheers from countless fans. The countless singers who have received the warm love of the Korean public have hidden the hard work of musicians who fulfill their roles behind the stage in the completion of their music. 〈The Musician〉 brings together six of Korea's top guitarists to prepare for an unprecedented joint performance, '2025 The Musician', which will go down in history in the Korean performance scene, capturing the moment they take the stage to convey the charm of the guitar. The touching moment when session musicians, who have always been behind famous singers, step onto the stage as 'protagonists' and their efforts to showcase their musical identity as independent musicians beyond the framework of a session are expected to resonate deeply with audiences who love art.

The teaser poster released alongside the confirmation of the release features six of Korea's top guitarists. First, from 2002, the 'Oh! Victory Korea' of Yoon Do-hyun Band, which heated up Korea, to the first-generation guitarist Lee Geun-hyung, who participated in sessions for numerous star singers such as Jo Sung-mo, Shin Seung-hun, and Byun Jin-seop, and the top session musician Lee Sung-ryeol, who is active in sessions with the new Trot Emperor Lim Young-woong, who has shaken Korea from TVXQ to Girls' Generation. Additionally, Charlie Jung, who won the 2022 Korean Entertainment Arts Jazz Performer Award, and Tommy Kim, who completed the sound of the title session for famous singers such as Cho Yong-pil, Na Hoon-a, Im Jae-bum, and Lee Seung-chul, as well as the first OP 'Gale of the Storm' of the animation 'Kinnikuman 2' that is also loved by the MZ generation, and Sam Lee, a representative of real guitar sound sessions, will join. The direction of the film is led by Lee Sun-jung, who planned '2025 The Musician' to leave traces of musicians who are marginalized from the public's attention, capturing the love and passion for music and guitar on screen.
