The purpose of this study is to investigate knowledge about Kim Baek-bong Fan Dance, which is designated as an intangible cultural heritage whose original form can be accurately identified among Fan Dances. Accordingly, this study conducted a survey of 236 people: Korean dance majors who have learned Kim Baek-bong Fan Dance in a school class for one semester, trainees and successors, those who have learned through a workshop, those who have briefly learned as a general special lecture, and those who have watched a performance.

As a result, the group of trainees and successors had a high correct answer rate overall in items related to the background of its creation, rhythm makeup, dance costume composition, aesthetic characteristics and fans, while the group that participated in general special lectures, workshops and watching tended to have a high incorrect answer rate.

This study recognizes the need for disseminating more accurate knowledge in a situation where fan dance is mistaken for a Chinese dance, and it is judged that this will contribute to exploring educational methods for the correct transmission of Korean intangible cultural heritage in the future.
