    Seungmu (Monk's Dance), a dance performed by a performer in a monk’s robe, is one of the leading folk dances of the country.

    There are several theories about the origin of Seungmu: one from a Buddhist cultural history perspective, one with a view that it originated in Kim Man-jung’s novel Guunmong (Dream of Cloud Nine), and one saying that it stems from a mask play containing elders’ dance and depraved monks’ agony.

    It is said to have started to develop among gisaeng (female entertainer). The dance is completely devoid of factors associated with religion, stage play, or play for fun. The dancer’s movements are similar to those of the Salpurichum (Exorcism Dance).

    The dancer performs to the tune of praying to Buddha, dodeuri rhythm, taryeong (Korean folk song), and gutgeori rhythm, jajinmori rhythm, etc., in white monk’s robe and gasa (ceremonial upper robe), white gokkal (conical hat), and elegantly raised front of beoseon (traditional Korean socks).

    The dancer displays unique gestures by whirling the sleeves to the accompaniment of piri (flute), daegeum (bamboo flute), haegeum (two-stringed fiddle), janggo (hourglass-shaped drum), and buk (drum). This is a very exquisite form of dance that expresses delicate rhythms and body movements as well as the sublimation of the feeling of joy and sorrow.

    Punggeoje refers to a ritual ceremony to prevent various accidents in the sea in the fishing village where the sea is a living place and to pray for the peace of the village and the good fish. In the first month of the lunar year, a ritual is held to pray for the peace of the village and the good fish for two days on the 2nd and 3rd.

    As for the origin of the Bunggi Punggeoje, it was said that on a foggy night in the present-day Hwangdo Dangsan, the ships lost their course and were safely returned home, building a shrine house, holding a memorial service, and considered sacred. Jeju, which is responsible for the ceremony, is elected as an unrighteous person for a year, and the offering is made by catching and using an unrighteous cow from the east, but pigs are not raised or eaten in the village because they are in conflict with snakes that are held as gods.

    On the first day, the Bungi Punggeo Festival began with a ritual for oxen as a sacrificial offering, praying for the blessings of families in each village with Segyeonggut, and praying for the well-being of the entire village and a good harvest at Bongut. At the end of the first day, each shipowner gathered at the port was given a ceremony in which he was possessed by the spirit of his ship. On the second day, each shipowner and crew member perform a ceremony to quickly load the offerings used in the rite and a boat race in which the boat is placed first, and perform a rite on each ship. Finally, fishermen sing the Pung-eo-taryeong of Bungi to Nongak and eat the prepared food and have a good time.

    The Hwangdo Bungi Punggeo Festival is more like a religious ceremony involving the entire village, rather than a simple festival, and its original form remains well-preserved, and is passed down as a folk game to strengthen the harmony and cooperation in the village.
