At these events, members made appropriate uses of tune, context, and use with English lyrics to demonstrate their knowledge of Korean traditions but adapted the tradition to fit into our current situation.

Even as we move into the next phases of our lives, our experiences of having been part of Mae-ari have indelibly affected our identities and identifications.
