The term “seoljanggu” originally referred to the chief player of janggu in Pangut, but later came to mean the whole performance as well. Since this is performed solo toward the end of Pangut, its melodic makeup varies from person to person, and from one region to another. Seoljanggu has been re-choreographed by numerous dancers, and this is one of them. This particular version by the NGC has been re-choreographed juxtaposing solo and group dances over the rhythmic cycles of hwimori, obangjin (dongsalpuri), gutgeori samchae (jajinmori), and hwimori, featuring their tension and relaxation.
