About 20 years ago, Mago's voice was at the end of the movie 'My Tutor Friend'. And in 2026, MAGO SOUND's music flows in the movie 'The Intern'.

MAGO SOUND, consisting of vocalist Mago, handpan Si-on, synthesizer Song Su-jeong, and percussion Jo Jeong-uk, is a team that has created its own musical world by connecting meditation, music, breathing, and movement into a single flow.

What they want to convey through music is somewhat distant from flashy techniques or intense stimulation. The sentence, "Not a performance that spreads outward, but a performance that comes into one's self," well shows the direction in which MAGO SOUND views music. MAGO SOUND has not limited this philosophy to music alone but has also expanded it into performance formats.

As a first-generation leader of domestic meditation and wellness Silent Live, they have built a unique sound unique to MAGO SOUND by integrating 'Silent Live'—where the audience listens to real-time live performances while wearing wireless headphones—with meditation and wellness music.

It is not simply moving the sound of existing performances to headphones. While a typical performance delivers sound to the entire space, MAGO SOUND's Silent Live delivers even the small breaths of the vocalist and the subtle vibrations of the instruments more closely through headphones.

Just as a singer wears headphones in a recording studio to delicately listen to their own voice and the small sounds of instruments, the audience also steps one step deeper into the music.

Although they are listening to the music together in the same space, at that moment, each person faces their own inner self. This is why MAGO SOUND views music not merely as 'listening' but as an 'experience'.

There is a consistent direction in their music. Creating a path to return to oneself through sound, and making recovery a part of life rather than something that happens on a special day.

A time to pause, breathe, and look at the sound within oneself. The 'sustainable wellness music' that MAGO SOUND speaks of begins at that very point. Now, MAGO SOUND's music meets the audience in movie theaters, moving beyond performance halls.

The movie 'The Intern', which flows with warm humanism, follows the relationships and hearts between people. Within that story, MAGO SOUND's music also quietly seeps in at certain moments.

MAGO SOUND suggests that viewers discover for themselves in which scenes and at what temperature their music arrives, and hopes that if a sound suddenly stays in one's heart while following the story, they will listen for a moment. They added that if they do so, a moment might come when they realize, 'Ah, this music is MAGO SOUND'.

There is another small fun hidden in this movie. Mago and the members of MAGO SOUND appear in the movie for a very brief moment.

Where they appear can be confirmed directly in the movie. Discovering MAGO SOUND somewhere on the screen, like playing a hidden picture game, is also a small fun in enjoying the movie 'The Intern'.

Like a scene discovered by chance in a movie, MAGO SOUND's music also provides an experience of quietly touching the heart at some point. This sound and appearance can be discovered directly in the movie 'The Intern'.

MAGO SOUND is a band composed of music experts in various fields such as vocals, composition, performance, and producing, as well as a brand and creator group that creates various artistic experiences centered around music. Based on an artist group that directly makes and performs music, they plan and produce not only their own music but also film, drama, and video music, and present performance content through collaborations with various artistic fields. Furthermore, they expand the sensory and emotional experiences of music into the wellness domain to plan and produce music-based wellness content that connects meditation, movement, space, and music. In particular, through 'Silent Live', which integrates wireless headphone systems into live performances, they are creating a new form of performance experience where the audience can immerse themselves more deeply in sound and music. MAGO SOUND is a band that makes and performs music, and a brand and creator group that expands sound into a new artistic experience by connecting music, performance, and wellness.
