Leenalchi (Korean: 이날치) is a South Korean pansori pop band formed in 2019.

Members

The band has a unique lineup, with two female and one male traditional Korean singers, two bassists and a drummer. The traditional singers are graduates of Seoul National University's traditional music department.^[1] Bassist Jang Young-gyu scored the films "The Wailing" (2016) and "Train to Busan" (2016) and played bass for SsingSsing. Fellow bassist Jeong Jung-yeop previously played bass for Kiha and the Faces. Drummer Lee Chul-hee was also drummer for SsingSsing. The band is named after Lee Nal-chi, a pansori master and jultagi performer of the 1880s. All members participate in coming up with a song in a rhythmic way, "like a Wikipedia article written by many contributors".^[2] The band members met during a 2018 performance of "Dragon King" at the Asia Culture Center in Gwangju.^[3]

Work

Their first album was influenced by the pansori play Sugungga.^[4] The band released its track "Tiger is Coming" as a non-fungible token.^[5] Leenalchi were featured in the 2022 Netflix documentary mini-series Midnight Asia: Eat. Dance. Dream., performing in an episode about Seoul's nightlife.^[6]

Reception

The band has achieved considerable success, appearing in the Korea Tourism Organization "Feel the Rhythm of Korea" video series^[7] promoting the cities of Seoul, Busan, Jeonju, Mokpo, Andong, Gangneung, and Incheon^[8] and winning three prizes at the Korean Music Awards in 2021 for Musician of the Year, Best Modern Rock Song, and Best Jazz & Crossover Album.^[9] Judges called it the "sexiest album of 2020".^[10] The band frequently collaborates with Ambiguous Dance Company.^[11]
