The Succession to Korean Folk Songs

This is a place to think of what the Korean folk song is like now and in the future. The native folk songs have been gradually extinguished since the 1950s, so they are discovered through records except for some songs designated as intangible cultural assets. A native folk song is like a rough diamond, not cut and polished. We expect more people to be interested in trimming the song to create a new work.
