Everyone has a talent
Beyond the line between disability and ability
we build a world made one through culture and art.
OUR STORY
Sharing every talent with the world
“However small our talent, somewhere in the world there is a place that needs it.”
Nanugi World began with a simple wish — to share every talent with the world. Since violinist Haeri Na founded it in 2021, we have built stages for artists with disabilities, brought music to underserved communities, and widened the path where everyone becomes one through culture and art. That stage now reaches beyond our borders to the world.

CEO MESSAGE
A message from our CEO
Thank you sincerely for visiting Nanugi World. We began with a belief: that however small our talent, somewhere in the world there is surely a place that needs it.
Crossing the line between disability and ability, we have gone directly to underserved communities to share music and culture, building stages where everyone becomes one. That stage now reaches beyond our borders to the world.
We will keep building a place of cultural exchange rooted in communication and harmony. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who walks this road with us.
