In this part of the Music in High Places series, Boyz II Men go to wintry South Korea where their modern R&B sensibility meets traditional Korean culture, resulting in a surprisingly simpatico series of acoustic performances. Boyz II Men perform some of their most popular songs, including "End of the Road," "Step On Up," and "On Bended Knee." The latter two are performed in the Chin Sul Fencing Stadium during which children and young adults display the grace and power of tae kwon do. While in a conference room in the Demilitarized Zone, the group sings "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" into microphones that are broadcast into North Korea. In addition to the beautiful locales and well-done photography, the charm lies not only in how much the group enjoys experiencing another culture, but how much the military personnel and locals enjoy hosting them. --Dana Van Nest
