Manifesto

Honesty and accuracy do not always run concurrent. Initial reactions can be true as the gospel, but after time elapses and more scrutiny is applied, those impulsive judgments often expose themselves as rash and inaccurate. In recognizing this, it is the purpose of Korean Folk Songs to deal in both surface-level observations and deeper understanding of Korean culture. Though the first will open up doors to contradiction, shallow fallacy, and further-down-the-road hypocrisy, these facets and by-products of observation are essential for the aforementioned understanding to occur. I am not afraid of being wrong, but terrified of ignorance.
