Song Si-yeol
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are ...

Pyeongsan Sin Clan
The Pyongsan Shin clan () is a clan of the Shin family, originating from Korea. The founding member of the clan participated in the foundation of the Goryeo dynasty and gained its power during this time. The founder was bestowed this last name from King Taejo of Goryeo for his services. He did not have a last name prior to that. However, it became less prominent during the following Joseon dynasty. Not all Koreans with the family name Shin belong to the Pyongsan Shin clan; only about 600,000 (about 70%) hail from this clan.

Yeoheung Min Clan
The Yeoheung Min clan () is a Korean clan that traces its origin to Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province. The 2015 Korean census counted 167,124 members of the Yeoheung Min clan. Origin The progenitor of the Yeoheung Min clan was long thought to be Min Ching-do (민칭도, 閔稱道), who settled in Goryeo after serving as an emissary from the Song dynasty. Min Ching-do was believed to descend from Min Sun, the second brightest disciple of Confucius. However, this story is most likely a later fabrication during Goryeo dynasty. Another theory suggests the clan originated from Yeongwollu Mingul Maamgul in Hyang-ri, Yeoju (영월루 민굴, 마암굴 閔窟;여주). This speculation stems from a poem by Yi Kyu-bo to Min Sik, asserting Min Sik's lineage from Min Ja-geon ( Min Sun) and Yi Kyu-bo's own descent from the legendary Chinese philosopher Laozi. However, skepticism arises due to the poem's ulterior motive— Yi Kyu-bo's attempt to secure a government position (벼슬) by flattering ...
