"Korean Breath" was composed with the breath of Korean music as its foundation, through musical experimentation and research. Drawing its inspiration from the unique breathing techniques hoheup and sum) of traditional Korean performing arts (pungmul, yeonhui, pansori, musok and others), "Korean Breath" incorporates the improvisation techniques and of jazz that elaborate on the foundation of traditional Korean rhythms. Through an exploration of the texture of music, and a chemical union between genres, it’s a piece that aspires to a Korean version of trance music.
"Korean Breath" was selected as the official performance for the Incheon Asian Games in 2014, which led to a more widespread awareness of SE:UM both domestically and abroad. The album SE:UM, which contains "Korean Breath," was nominated in two categories at the Korean Music Awards in 2015 (best crossover and best performance), which provided another occasion for the piece to receive recognition for its musical experimentation and artistic value.

SE:UM was established with the goal of helping artists establish a foundation upon which they could create independently. The group continues to express its artistic inspiration in liberated ways with this goal in mind. With music remaining as their primary focus, the group is stretching the character of what a performance can be through collaborations with video, photography and other forms of media, and continues to develop and exhibit various content. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a new genre through collaboration and creation between different forms.
