To mark the 100th anniversary of the March 1 Independence Movement and the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, the National Traditional Arts High School prepared the stage.

It is an art play that carries the life of a martyr to pansori, and is based on Yoo Gwan-soon, a renowned singer of Park Dong-sil, who tries to inspire patriotism by creating a creative pansori of the 'Passion' system after Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule.

It is a song about the resistance of Independence activists who aspired to liberate their homeland during the 1910 Japanese colonial era period.

This song combines Korean traditional music with rock, and the guitarist Jung Ki-song of the rock group "Next" created by the late Shin Hae-chul participated to enhance the perfection of the song.

In particular, the music video of "Heroic Empire" was filmed inside Seodaemun Prison, which contains the hardships of the Korean people, including the imprisonment of Independence activists and key figures of the pro-democracy Movement, adding to its historical value and meaning.

There is no exact record of the origin of it, but it is assumed that the shape of nearby Mountains resembles two bulls were competing.On the occasion of the event, the village is divided into two sides: those living in the east section of the village and those living in the west. The winning side will reportedly enjoy better harvest in the year. The play used to be performed around the full moon period of January 15 on the lunar calendar; now, however, it is performed along with a tug-of-war competition during the March 1 Cultural Festival, held to commemorate the Independence Movement carried out with the locals in Yeongsan, which played a leading role during the colonial period.

The event is said to have started from the wish to stop the evil power of the two nearby mountains, i.e., Yeongchuksan and Jagyaksan (also called Hambaksan), which look like two bulls confronting each other. With the approach of January 15 on the lunar calendar, villagers flock to a nearby mountain and fell a 10m-tall tree. A pyramid-shaped structure is made using a log and straw rope that people will carry on their shoulder, with the leader of the team, together with two lieutenants, standing at the top of it, giving command to fight the opponent. A wooden carved bull head or a mask is put on the top of the structure. Prior to the commencement of the battle, farmers’ music is played to create a delightful atmosphere. The team that makes the opponent’s bull head fall to the ground wins. Yeongsan Soemeori Daegi is a local folk play performed to pray for good harvest.☆
