HNU- JINJU KUMMU Show at Cultural Interaction

Korean Cultural Practices Learned

Last November 05, 2018, a cultural interaction between Koreans and the HNU

was held in the Alumni AV Hall. The Koreans shared their traditional dances such as the

scholar’s dance also known as sun-bi-chum, djangochum or also known as double-

headed drum dance, fan sanjo or free style, Korean women dance or salpuri and the last

one is the jinju kummu. The Scholar’s dance is a kind of dance during the Joseon period

and only the scholars in their country can performed it. The djangochum dance is also

one of the dance in Chosun dynasty period where artists shoulder the Django obliquely

and walk with beautiful steps. The fan dance expresses a flower-scent like woman’s

dance beats with Geongmungo (six-stringed Korean zither), and characterized by the

beautiful movements in harmony with straight line and waves using the fan. The salpuri

or the Korean women dance is a mystic dance with the beauty of silence,elegance and

resentment. The jinju kummu dance is a traditional sword dance practiced in Korea.

Kummu is performed with special costume, dance motions, and music. The dance is

known for its grace in performance. The Koreans also introduced to us the milyang

arirang, a Korean folk song which is unofficially considered as their national anthem in

Korea. According to them the milyang arirang have variations of different versions.

Filipino Cultural Practices Depicted


While the Koreans prepared for a presentation the HNU students also prepared

some traditional dance and songs. The cultural practices depicted in the presentation

were Kuradang, dance and the rondalla, mostly performed by the Mapeh Majors’ Society

headed by Mr. Marcojos. The “Kuradang dance” is a dance which originated in Bohol and

is performed during social gatherings such as birthdays, baptism, wedding, and fiesta. It

is also a dance which literally means overdressed. The “rondalla” is a set of string

instrument used by the students as they performed a series of Filipino songs.

Insights Gained From the Cultural Interactions

In this kind of cultural interaction it is exciting though it needs time to understand

the differences between the two cultures. I have observed the Korean cultural dances are

very sophisticated and elegant. Their movements are slow but very detailed. While the

Filipino culture is different from them in terms of dance movement. Filipinos performed it

actively and they seem to enjoy the dance. In this intercultural interactions, it helps us

build a healthy relationships with the other cultures.
