Joo Bowon, holder of the Chungcheong Naepo An-eungut intangible cultural asset, will perform the Taeulbosin-gyeong ritual to ward off evil spirits. Seonghun Park, traditional instructor of the Jindo Ssitgimgut, will re-enact the essence of the late Byeongcheon Park’s legacy, presenting the Manjosaeng Haewon Neokpuri ritual to cleanse the souls of the deceased. The Gangneung Danogut, which brings together three generations—Soon-Ae Bin, Eun-Young Kim, and Min-Kyung Han—will showcase the vibrant energy of Gangwon shamanic music through dynamic percussion-driven rhythms.
On June 12, with the theme "Communal Joy and Consolation," the Gyeonggi Dodanggut and Namhaean Byeolsingut rituals will be performed. The Gyeonggi Dodanggut, inherited by the Hwaraengi of the Jaeincheong, will present sophisticated musical order, while the Namhaean Byeolsingut will demonstrate the harmony of court and folk music with its Samhyeon Yukgak ensemble.
