A haenyeo song refers to a folk song sung by female divers in Jeju Island while rowing when they go out or come in on a boat. This folk song and rowing movement are closely related and serve as a lighter and more enjoyable guide to labor.
Haenyeo sing rhythmically with tewak, mesh, and broom used to work. According to the content, it expresses the hard work and daily life in a friendly way, showing a strong spirit about living, and has a strong dynamic and straightforward color. When the two take turns shouting, the rest will be given the chorus, such as "Yi-Ya-Ya-Yi-Ya-Ya. Sometimes fishermen make good noises and haenyeo make bad noises. Although the number of joints in the musical instrument that appear in the melody is not constant due to the complicated singing style, the melody from high to low notes with the two words paired is repeated consistently. The beat is a regular 6/8 beat, and the speed is usually connected freely according to the working situation from fast to very fast.
The haenyeo song is a folk song that forms the broadest consensus among fishing songs, and the entertainment owner Ahn Do-in and the holding group living in Jeju Island are continuing the trend.
