๐ฅHwa Records is a team of Korean diasporic performance based artists and healers composed of Roger Kim, Saewon Oh, Kayla Tange, and Caroline Yoo. Hwa Records was conceived after Caroline Yoo was diagnosed with hwa-byung in 2020. Hwa-byung (fire sickness) is a Korean folk syndrome attributed to the suppression of anger where pent up emotions then manifest in the body.
๐ฅThis documented performance was originally a live 40 minute long performance at the Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco on April 21, 2022. The Hwa Records team not only performs and purges individual and collective hwa, loosely translated to fire, rage, and/or pent-up emotion, but also creates rituals for our ancestors to feel at peace by honoring and sending off our historical traumas in the performance.
๐ฅHwa Records uses intimate workshops and experimental performance to create community space for diasporic Koreans to discuss and alleviate some of these pressures, and to create places to collectively process the ever-present, but only recently acknowledged racism directed towards Asians.

Where Hwa Lives: Ancestral Memory and the Korean Diasporic body
๐๏ธMarch 6
โฐ1-3:30pm
๐Hwa Studio in Arts District
RSVP + application required
A somatic exploration of ancestral memory in the individual and collective body with group discussion, sound, movement, and herbal tea.
This workshop gives members of the Korean diaspora the opportunity to dialogue with, express and explore the ancestral memory that resides in their individual and collective bodies.
We still start with group discussion about common challenges that members of the Korean diaspora face due to histories of war trauma, militarization, immigrant displacement, culture clashing, etc.
Then weโll move into a series of deep listening and somatic explorations into what within us wants witnessing, releasing, and remembering. What we discover will culminate into a group ritual using voice, sound and movement with the support of live Korean drumming and a chrysanthemum tea serving.

ICA LA is thrilled to announce the launch of our Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program, a major new initiative created to further our ongoing commitment to directly support artists. The AIR will expand and deepen ICA LAโs presence in the DTLA Arts Districtโa neighborhood where artists have lived and worked for decades. After a nominations and application process, ICA LA has selected its inaugural cohort of Los Angeles-based artists: Mohammad Tayyeb (@oktayyeb), Julie Tolentino (@thejulietolentino), and Hwa Records (@hwarecords).
Each AIR receives free dedicated studio space for a year; a generous $25,000 honorarium; a stipend for materials, research, and production; and ample opportunities to collaborate with ICA LA staff, supporters, and publics.
Over the years, ICA LAโs program has maintained a sustained dedication to celebrating the emerging, the overlooked, and the marginalized voices of contemporary art and culture. Working in and across the mediums of performance, sound, workshops, and healing practices, for artists Mohammad Tayyeb, Julie Tolentino, and Hwa Records, the invitation to be in residence at ICA LA marks an unparalleled and singular opportunity at pivotal junctures in their respective practices.
A major congratulations to our inaugural cohort of selected artists! We look forward to the year ahead!
ICA LAโs Artist-in-Residence program is made possible with lead support from Getty. Generous support is also provided by a Discretionary Grant from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. ICA LA is grateful to AVA Arts District for their in-kind support.

๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ชWe are so privileged to spotlight Hwa Records (@hwarecords) for the upcoming ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: Performances program. Hwa Records is a team of diasporic Korean performance-based artists and healers composed of Roger Kim (@rodgepodgemusic), Saewon Oh (@saewwwon), Kayla Tange (@kayla.tange), and C.Ryu (@c.ryu_portal).
Hwa Records formed when C.Ryu was diagnosed with hwa-byung in 2020. Hwa-byung translates literally to fire/anger sickness. Per Dr. Bou-Yong Rhi, the syndrome can come from feelings of restraint when confronting feelings of anger as a consequence of unjust circumstancesโthis restraint, anger, and rage then manifest physically in the body. In Korea, hwa-byung patients are often older women struggling with the weight of an extremely rigid and strict patriarchal society. For Korean Americans, however, hwabyung can come from continued trauma, racism, and the continued pain of imperialism.
Powerfully, Hwa Records uses music to address and heal a collective hwabyung. Through workshops and performances, Hwa Records releases communal hwa through an intersection of music, meditation, and storytelling. For the Diasporic Refractions: Performances program, Hwa Records will be one of four artists/artist groups coming together to create a performance that exhibits the transformation of collective memory and demands collective imagining and building of liberatory futures. Hwa Recordsโs inclusion is especially memorable for our community, as co-founder Roger Kim was formerly a GYOPO volunteer.

๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ชWe are so privileged to spotlight Hwa Records (@hwarecords) for the upcoming ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: Performances program. Hwa Records is a team of diasporic Korean performance-based artists and healers composed of Roger Kim (@rodgepodgemusic), Saewon Oh (@saewwwon), Kayla Tange (@kayla.tange), and C.Ryu (@c.ryu_portal).
Hwa Records formed when C.Ryu was diagnosed with hwa-byung in 2020. Hwa-byung translates literally to fire/anger sickness. Per Dr. Bou-Yong Rhi, the syndrome can come from feelings of restraint when confronting feelings of anger as a consequence of unjust circumstancesโthis restraint, anger, and rage then manifest physically in the body. In Korea, hwa-byung patients are often older women struggling with the weight of an extremely rigid and strict patriarchal society. For Korean Americans, however, hwabyung can come from continued trauma, racism, and the continued pain of imperialism.
Powerfully, Hwa Records uses music to address and heal a collective hwabyung. Through workshops and performances, Hwa Records releases communal hwa through an intersection of music, meditation, and storytelling. For the Diasporic Refractions: Performances program, Hwa Records will be one of four artists/artist groups coming together to create a performance that exhibits the transformation of collective memory and demands collective imagining and building of liberatory futures. Hwa Recordsโs inclusion is especially memorable for our community, as co-founder Roger Kim was formerly a GYOPO volunteer.

๐ฅฃ Hwa Records is a collective of Korean diasporic artists and healersโRoger Kim, Saewon Oh, C. Ryu, and Kayla Tangeโexploring hwa-byung (fire sickness), a folk syndrome where suppressed anger manifests in the body. Through workshops and performances, they address racism, inherited trauma, and the lasting impact of the Korean War and Japanese imperialism. Their performances integrate meditation, storytelling, and musical play to release collective hwa, honoring and letting go of ancestral burdens. Hwa Records has performed at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco and 41 Ross Gallery and received funding from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, among others. They seek to ease the pressures of liminal existence, creating space for healing and transformation.ย

๐ฅDocumentation of Hwa Records performing last April 2022 at 41.Ross Gallery in Chinatown San Francisco.
โค๏ธโ๐ฅHwa Records translates and mistranslates Hwa ํ as fire, pent-up emotion, rage, and flower.
๐ฉธThrough voice, movement, sound, and projection, Hwa Records creates immersive experimental performances exploring how historical record, memory, and lived experience may not always align with the complexities of migration, culture induced shame, and ancestral lineage. By searching for our own paths of becoming we embody our defiant definitions of what โKoreanโ and โAmericanโ means. Hwa Records invites the audiences to witness the rebirth, the transmutation of our HWA. Hwa Records has performed at Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco and 41.Ross Gallery.
๐ฅHwa Records began when one of our facilitators was diagnosed with ํ๋ณ hwa-byung or โfire sicknessโ. Hwa-byung is defined as a culture-bound syndrome, mostly affecting women, and; a Korean folk syndrome attributed to the suppression of anger where pent up emotions manifest in the body as difficulty eating, sleeping, and breathing. While the diagnosis in South Korea occurs primarily in middle-age to older women suffering under a prevalently patriarchal society, through further research we found that hwa-byung in the United States could also be caused by displacement stresses such as balancing two cultures - in this case Korean and American.
๐ฉธThis gave birth to Hwa Records. Although not all Korean-Americans have hwa-byung, many experience some form of self-suppression and pent-up emotion from our collective experience as an immigrant community, navigating conflicts of culture, racism, and microaggressions in our daily lives. We created these workshops to share our methods of catharsis in hopes to gift another tool to our peoples to help release our hwa.
โค๏ธโ๐ฅWe are taking a little break in 2023 to allow the facilitatorsโ own Hwa to be released. We will be back in 2024. If you are looking to book us for a performance or workshops please contact us.
๐ฅPerformers: Roger Kim, Saewon Oh, Caroline Yoo
๐ฅVideography: Huan Cheng
What Roger has been working on since we have been taking a break with Hwa Records. Genius, yes he is ๐ฅ
