Sangmyung Univ. Music Clubs
By Myung-Kwan Kang
I think music is essential to our lives. The effects of music are as follows: 1. It reduces pain. 2. It increases concentration. 3. It increases the effectiveness of exercise. 4. It calms your mind. For these reasons, music is closely related to the lives of modern people. In that sense, let's find out what kind of music clubs are in the Sangmyung University Cheonan campus. Do you know what kind of music clubs are at Sangmyung University? There are three music clubs at Sangmyung University: Soulo, Darkness, and Crunk Brain.
Characteristics of Each Club
The first music club is the acoustic music club Soulo. Soulo consists of a performance team, a planning team, a public relation team, and a technical team. Soulo’s advantage is to perform in contact with other cafes and bars. And during regular performances, they perform with a concept. For example, last year, they held a retro concept and performed songs related to autumn, such as IU's autumn morning. Soulo runs a channel on YouTube so that more people can listen to their songs.
The second music club is Darkness. Darkness is a rock band club that has been active for over 20 years. Darkness consists of vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, etc. The strength of Darkness lies in the long experience and popularity of the band club, and due to the nature of the band club, it focuses on rock music and performance. In addition, Darkness performed about 30 songs in collaboration with the Chungnam Music Creation Center during its regular performance last year.
The third music club is Crunk Brain, a black music club. Crunk Brain consists of a performance team, a content production team, and a supporters team. The advantage of Crunk Brain is that people who like black music gather to write and compose various music. In addition, Crunk Brain holds regular performances every semester and participate in joint performances with universities based in Cheonan. Lastly, Crunk Brain is the only rap club at Sangmyung University and has the peculiarity of performing only with the lyrics written by the members.
According to an interview with Cho Ji-hoon, a student of the Department of Plant Food Engineering who has seen all the club performances, “I believe Soulo is a club where you can listen comfortably. Darkness is a club that makes your heart beat, and Crunk Brain is a club that can communicate with the audience and enjoy together.”
If you want to join an acoustic band club, you can join Soulo, a rock band club Darkness, or Crunk Brain if you want to do a cool rap with fancy speech. Any student at Sangmyung University's Cheonan Campus who has an interest in and passion for music and wants to enjoy club activities can apply!
