But when it comes to the Korean movie "The King and the Clown", many people will willingly nod. And when mentioning the Korean star Lee Joon-gi, many people may scream.

Tracing back to the origin of Korea's traditional dances, it started from the religious rituals in the prehistoric era. At that time, each tribe often accompanied their altar ceremonies with group singing and dancing, which gradually evolved into fixed forms as time changed. From the Three Kingdoms period (57 B.C.-A.D.676), Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) to Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), the early and mid stages of dance development were centered on court dances, while the later stage was mainly focused on folk dances. Court dances refer to the dances performed during banquets and grand feasts in the palace for receiving distinguished guests. Most of these dances have contents that praise the dignity and authority of the royal family. The dancers' costumes are characterized by their luxury and artistry.
