This dance generally developed since the kingdom era and was able to survive today. South Korean traditional dance actually consists of two types, namely royal and folk dance. To further increase your knowledge, we have summarized the various types of South Korean traditional dance that you should know:
1. Seungmu dance
Seungmu is one of the most famous traditional dances in South Korea. Sungmu is a type of spiritual dance (worship) performed by monks. This dance is believed to originate from Buddhist beliefs and rituals.
Seungmu dancers usually wear robes with long sleeves and white hoods. In addition to the dancers, there are also those who are in charge of carrying drums or commonly called bugbo.
2. SeungJeonmu
The next South Korean traditional dance is SeungJeonmu dance. SeungJeonmu is a kind of warrior dance to honor the god of the earth. This dance has appeared around 2000 years ago and is usually held when the Koreans will fight. Through this dance it is hoped that the Gods of Earth will give victory to war.
SeungJeonmu consists of sword dance and drum dance, commonly called mugo. This dance figure became so popular when a historic South Korean figure General Admiral Yi Shun Shin during the Joseon Kingdom ordered his soldiers to dance to your SeungJeon while fighting.
3. Hallyangmu
If we have Ramayana ballets here, in Korea there is Hallyangmu. This South Korean traditional dance is a dance that tells the life of the Korean nobles during the Joseon Kingdom. The word "Hallyang" means a group of young nobles whose work is lazy and spends their time spending and having fun.
This Hallyangmu is from the Dongrae region in Busan Province. The dancers wore yangban hanbok costumes complete with accessories such as hats and robes and fans.
4. Cheoyongmu
The next traditional South Korean dance is Cheoyongmu. This dance is a kind of mask dance which is often performed in the palace to reject reinforcements and ask for blessings to the gods. This dance is believed to originate from the time of the United Kingdom of Silla and is still able to survive until now.
In 2009, UNESCO even crowned the Cheoyong dance in the Great Work of Oral Cultural Heritage and Non-Bendawi Man.
This dance is identical to the use of a red Cheoyong mask with a friendly smile and white teeth. This mask is also equipped with 2 earrings, a necklace and a black hat with peony flowers, tree twigs, and 7 peaches. All of these elements are believed to be exorcists of evil spirits.
5. Buchaaechum
This dance is also called fan dance. Buchaaechum dancers do use beautiful fans with decorative peony flowers. This dance is performed by a group of women who wear hanbok with bright colors and contrasts.
In the past this dance was intended to commemorate the worship ceremony of the gods, but now this dance has been performed a lot on various annual events, festivals, and state events.
The distinctive feature of this unique Buchaechum dance is the neat circular formation. The dancers then use fans to form wave movements, flying butterflies, sea waves, flowers, and so on.
