    Fan dance is a dance performed by Kim Baek-bong in 1954 with a colorful fan.

    It is a combination of the beautiful dance moves and the spirit of the EXOrcism of the shaman in the shaman's dance, and it has a unique charm that the sound of folding and unfolding a fan can also serve as an instrument.

    It is a lively work that combines the dancers' colorful costumes and fans with a cheerful instrumental accompaniment.

    It refers to a comprehensive stage in which a series of school affairs and Yeonhwa dance are performed after a ritual held to EXOrcise evil spirits in the royal court during the early Joseon Dynasty.

    Hak(crane) dance has been performed at royal ceremonies since the Goryeo Dynasty, and is the only dance in Korea to perform under the mask of a bird. Yeonhwa Daemu tells the story of two girls born with lotus wine, and they are thrilled by the king's virtues and repay their grace by dancing and singing.

    When two dancers with crane masks all over their bodies dance and peck at the two pre-installed flower peaks with their beaks, the lotus blossoms open, the girl pops out and the crane runs out in amazement. After that, the dance performed by two girls is Yeonhwa Daemu. In terms of performance, the two dances have been handed down for many years, forming inseparable relationships.

    For accompaniment music, Seryeongsan Mountain, Samhyundodry, and Taryeong are used for the school dance, while only court music is used in Yeonhwadaemu.☆

    ☆Noraet Garak is a representative popular folk song of Gyeonggi Province, drived from shaman songs around Seoul.

    Because of this, it was also called "Mu-nyeo Yuga" (a song enjoyed by female shamans).

    The song was originally sung after the shaman's EXOrcism in Gyeonggi Province and Gongsu's (talking to God) and King Gojong's court ladies sang Sijo peom on top of the royal EXOrcism ceremony to present it to the king, which became widespread among the people.

    Noraet Garak is a unique song that combines the characteristics of shaman songs, Sijo and folk songs.

    Seowooje Sori is a Jeju folk song.

    Originally, the song was sung in Jeju Island during the EXOrcism of Yeongdeungpo-gut.

    In other words, it is a kind of radish.

    However, it became common and changed to a song that was sung freely as an entertainment song or while hanging steam or doing sea work.

    The editorials also include the original Yeongdeungpo-gut lyrics, and the lyrics after the transition to other activities.
