A musical adaptation of the popular documentary <Chilgok Gashina-deul> and the essay 'Ojige Jaemikke Naeideum'. Grandmothers who fell in love with Hangul (Korean alphabet) after a lifetime of illiteracy attend a literacy school, where they begin writing poetry about their own lives. When a documentary PD arrives to film them, their sparkling everyday lives — filled with humor, warmth, and hard-won wisdom — unfold in song. A multigenerational musical celebrating life, joy, and the power of learning at any age.
