    Dunjeonpyeong Nongak is a Nongak that has been handed down in Yongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, and has unique characteristics while having the characteristics of Yeongdong and Yeongseo Nongak due to its geographical characteristics, and has inherited its original form well even when most of the Nongak in each region is disappearing. In particular, Nongak is of great value for the systematic preservation and transmission of traditional culture, given that Nongak is the most fundamental to the gradual disappearance of agricultural folk in each region due to the transition to an industrial society and rapid mechanization of rural areas.



    Lee Jong-hyun and Kim Eun-young have been living with Nongak in Yongpyeong since childhood, and not only are they excellent at leading the Nongak band, but they can also demonstrate the overall part of Nongak, and the Pyeongchang Dunjeonpyeong Agricultural Play Preservation Association was recognized for its systematic preservation and transmission of Nongak because of its nature.

    Yongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, was named Yongjeon-ri by merging Dunjeon-dong and Bangdeok-dong as the main points of traffic passing through the Yeongdong Expressway.

    The name originated from the fact that it was transferred from the area around Dunjeon-dong.

    In the Pyeongchang area, there were Nongak bands in Jinbu, Daehwa, Banglim, Baekokpo, Jangpyeong, Mitan, and Yuchon in the 1970s, and Jung-ri Nongak in Pyeongchang-eup has long been active with regional representation.

    Later, when Baekokpo Nongak, which had formed a double wall, was discontinued, Yongjeon Nongak was formed, and this was changed to the name Dunjeonpyeong Nongak, which is now being continued.
