Jin Yu-rim, Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 27 and 97(Buddhist dance, Salpuri), Master of Seungmu
Seungmu is a Korean dance performed by Buddhist monks. It is one of the most famous Korean traditional dances and designated as South Korea's important intangible cultural asset number 27 in 1969. It has been developed into a solo dance by professional dancers nowadays.Every now and then, when one rhythm shifts to another, the dancer changes the mood by changing his steps
Some regard Seungmu as the most beautiful Korean dance, for the mixture of flowing movements and stillness. The dancer's long and white sleeves movements, the serenity of white hood, a breathtaking pause, and then a soul-stirring movement contribute to the singular uniqueness of the Seungmu
