It is a nursery rhyme baby shark that people around the world hum.



But something a little different, isn't it?



[At that time, the fish that saw the shark family in the distance run away.]



This is the Pansori version, which has more than 10 million views.



King Lear's screaming feelings are well reflected in our desperate voices.



It was a 'Changgeuk' that was sold out earlier because of the crowd.



[Jang Minji/Audience: The best showing that traditional and modern things are like this...

[Kim Ji-yeon/Audience: I found out today that changgeuk is such a fun thing.]



Changgeuk, which made pansori as a comprehensive stage art, started about 100 years ago, but in recent years, there is a genre that cannot be missed if you say 'watch a performance'. That's it.



This is because not only the five traditional pansori songs such as Chunhyangga and Simcheongga, but also Eastern and Western classics are being created with a new sense.



The content is also expanded while preserving the traditional form of Sorikun and Gosu.



[Jaram Pansori 'The Old Man and the Sea': Oh!

All of a sudden, the line unwinds violently, the fishing line unbelievably fast on the hand.

[Beom Comes Down~Beam Comes Down]



This self-explanatory song is included in the album 'Sugungga' of the day.



Let's listen to this too.



It's Chunhyangga, but it's a different feeling, isn't it?



Traditional pansori and unique singing methods are becoming the source of creativity.



The diverse evolution of pansori is also the result of desperate efforts and experiments by artists against the stereotype that Korean traditional music is uniform.



Here, the younger generation, who have embraced the tradition more freshly and have grown in cultural confidence due to the influence of the Korean Wave, are responding.



But did the traditional pansori decline?

That's not it.



Pansori, performed by master singers every month for nearly 40 years at the National Theater of Korea.



This performance, which can take up to 8 hours, attracts not only the fixed audience, known as the gwimyeongchang, but also a new audience who has just discovered the charm of pansori and wants to find its origins.



Don't you think only Koreans like it?



Let's take a look at this person, Mr. Mapo Lor, a sophomore at Korea National University of Arts.
