Korean Prog at the Olympics?

Did anybody watch the closing ceremonies of the Pyeongchang olympics last night?  Early on, there was a segment with a bunch of traditional Korean stringed instruments (played horizontally like a steel guitar, but plucked with long sticks), and there was a Korean rock band in the center.  One woman in the rock band was playing something that looked like a hillbilly tub bass, but it was electrified and she was bowing it like a cello.  WTF was that?  There were occasional cutaways to a young dude wailing on electric guitar.  Anyway, it all came off sounding pretty proggy to me, especially those traditional instruments in concert with the rock band.  Anyone agree?

[Update] The Korean bands name is "Jambinai".  Here's a link to their Bandcamp page: https://jambinai.bandcamp.com/
They are tagged as post-rock, but they sound more like prog metal to me.

And the traditional instruments are called: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomungo

And the hillbilly bucket bass is called a:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haegeum

[Update Update] Doh! (in my best Homer Simpson impression)... I should have checked PA first.  They have an entry here: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=10008

Here's a video of the olympic performance...

Yeah, that Korean music is very complex, rock like and also sounds prog to me

Pretty nuts! Korean Prog Olympics almost sounds like a band name.

Wow, Korean prog at the Olympics. Whooda thunk it?

Probably Post-rock is the best we can hope for.

No, I didn't notice anything proggy being played during the closing ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
