linkThe Media Room in the School of Korean Traditional Arts is equipped with tools for digitizing Korean traditional music. The room, mainly used for the classes and studies of Composition majors, is furnished with equipment for electronic music production, with equipment for sampling and digitizing traditional music and editing the creative works composed by students. The media works of traditional music will play a significant role in developing traditional music in ways that address the challenges of contemporary discourse. The existence of the Media Room in the School of Korean Traditional Arts is a clear sign that K-Arts is preparing for the future one step ahead of other colleges. The Recording Room is for the School’s own recording production. Other recording rooms required for production are typically private spaces that demand high rental fees for use.

It is optimized to record all kinds of music, including creative music as well as traditional music, which is something K-Arts is proud of, as it is not offered by other colleges.
