Big Ocean: K-Pop Group Redefines Performance with Sign Language

The K-pop group Big Ocean is gaining significant attention for being the first of its kind to incorporate sign language into their performances. The band members, who are deaf or hard of hearing, utilize advanced audio technology for music and synchronized choreography. They creatively integrate Korean Sign Language (KSL) into their music videos and live shows, aiming to convey deeper meaning beyond sound. Big Ocean has achieved notable success since their debut, including recognition from Billboard and Forbes, and have embarked on international tours. Their unique approach has garnered a large and devoted fanbase, many of whom are inspired to learn sign language through the band's tutorials.
