Chongdong Theater
 
Established in 1995, Chongdong Theater has developed various art & culture programs under the three principles of its founding: re-discovery and development of Korean traditional performing arts, introduction of traditional culture into Korean daily life, and iInvestment in cultural events for students.

For the first time as a theater Chongdong Theater established the Korean traditional performance permanently in February 1997. Chongdong Theater classified the Korean traditional performing arts into 4 categories; dance, pungmul, vocal and traditional music.
"The Sound of Korea, the Beat of Korea and the Movement of Korea," is a special program for foreigners to experience the lively sounds of Korean culture. Recommended as a tourist cultural program, it is also very popular with Korean audiences. This colorful spectacle of dance and music is performed in traditional costumes by a resident art group, whose performers have been declared human culture assets.
