The incredible true story of Mormon K-Pop band New Horizon
August 15, 2026 at 8:05 AM MT · via YouTube / Rachel Murdock | LDS Storytime · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting
Rachel Murdock's LDS Storytime channel tells the remarkable story of New Horizon, a singing group formed by Latter-day Saint missionaries in 1970s South Korea that became an unexpected missionary tool. The band performed throughout Korea during a pivotal era in the Church's growth in Asia, using music to reach audiences in ways traditional proselytizing could not. The video explores how cultural adaptation and creative approaches helped establish the faith in a predominantly Buddhist nation, decades before K-Pop became a global phenomenon.
