On the 5th, at 4 p.m., the National Gugak Center (Director Kim Joong-hyun) held a congratulatory performance at the opening ceremony of the exhibition "Jongmyo Jeryeak, Singing the Joseon Dynasty" at the multipurpose hall of the Korean Cultural Center in Beijing. This performance, organized by the National Gugak Center, was held to commemorate the opening of the exhibition and to convey the beauty of Korean traditional arts locally, further enhancing the significance of cultural and artistic exchange between Korea and China.
The performance featured a solo gayageum performance of "Cheongseongok," a solo dance of "Hanyeongsukryu Taepyeongmu," and a folk song medley of "Mori Hwae-Arirang," filling the approximately 200-seat venue with local audiences. In particular, the stage that intertwined China's representative folk song "Mori Hwae" with Korea's "Arirang" received a great response, forming a platform for cultural empathy through traditional arts.
Director Kim Joong-hyun expressed, "It is meaningful to directly convey the value of Korean traditional arts to Beijing through this performance," and stated, "We will continue to widely promote Korean culture through cooperation with major cultural institutions overseas."
Taking this performance as an opportunity, the National Gugak Center plans to expand its cooperation with cultural and arts institutions and organizations in Beijing, and actively pursue various activities to enhance the international status of Korean traditional culture.
