Songpasandae-nori
''Songpasandae-nori'' () is a type of ''sandae noli'', Korean traditional mask play which has been handed down in the neighborhoods of Songpa-dong and Garak-dong in modern-day Seoul, South Korea. ''Sandae Noli'' is a mask dance that developed in Seoul and the mid of metropolitan region. History ''Songpasandae-nori'' began with a cheerful parade called ''georigut'' (거리굿) or ''gilnori'' (길놀이) as circling around the Songpa Market and nearby town in order to attract people to their performance. The two terms literally mean "street shamanistic ritual" and "street performance" respectively. When parading, they wore masks and costumes, and played a type of marching music, ''gilgunak'' (길군악). With a decorative small flag used by farmers or ''yeonggi'' (영기, 令旗) at the head, the performers followed the musicians in procession. After the parade, they used an amulet to ward off misfortune and to wish everyone in the market to have good health and fortune. Prep ...

Sandae Noli
''Sandae-nori'' () is a regional variant of Korean mask dance drama. According to some scholars, it may be the root form of many other Korean mask dance dramas today, as it was created and managed by the Sandae Dogam, a government office in charge of providing entertainment both in the capital and in important regional centers. The Sandae Dogam was disbanded in the early 1600s, leaving many performers unemployed and searching for work. It is thought that the stories of these performers became modern day plays such as '' Songpasandae-nori'' and '' Yangju Byeolsandae'' and influenced many other performance forms in Korea. Although modern Koreans tend to use the Korean term ''talchum'' to refer to all types of mask dance drama, ''talchum'' is properly only applied to three extant mask dance dramas from Hwanghae Province in North Korea North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia. It constitutes the northern half of the Kor ...

Namsadang Nori
The ''namsadang'' () is a Korean itinerant troupe which consists of male performers who present various performing arts such as acrobatics, singing, dancing and playing like a circus. It is said that ''namsadang'' was spontaneously formed before 1900 during the Joseon period and used to wander about marketplaces and villages. The troupe was considered the lowest class in society along with ''cheonmin'' (vulgar commoners) or ''baekjeong'' (butchers), so that very few historical documents remain on them. However, since a record that a puppet show was performed during the Silla period (57 BCE – 935 CE) has been found, it is assumed that similar types of itinerant companies appeared in Korean history a long time ago. During the late Joseon Dynasty, there were several ''namsadang'', but the one whose base was set in Cheongryongsa temple () in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province was the most famous. They became called ''namsadang'' because the troupe were composed of only men and ''"nam"'' ...

Jesa
''Jesa'' (, ) is a ceremony commonly practiced in Korea. Jesa functions as a Ancestor veneration, memorial to the ancestors of the participants. Jesa are usually held on the anniversary of the ancestor's death. The majority of Catholic Church in South Korea, Catholics, Korean Buddhism, Buddhists and Irreligion in South Korea, nonbelievers practice ancestral rites, although National Council of Churches in Korea, Protestants do not. Since their origins, Jesa has taken on a certain formality as human civilization has developed, which is sometimes called rituals in Confucianism. The Catholic ban on ancestral rituals was lifted in 1939, when Pope Pius XII formally recognized ancestral rites as a civil practice (see also Chinese Rites controversy). Many Korean Protestants no longer practice this rite and avoid it both locally and Korean diaspora, overseas.

Since the mid-20th century, Korea has been split between the North Korean and South Korean sovereign state, states, resulting in a number of cultural differences that can be observed even today. Before the Joseon period, the practice of Korean shamanism was deeply rooted in Korean culture. Clothing The traditional dress known as ''hanbok'' (; alternatively ''joseonot;'' in North Korea) has been worn since ancient times. The ''hanbok'' consists of a shirt (''jeogori'') and a skirt (''chima''). According to social status, Koreans used to dress differently, making clothing an important mark of social rank.
