Abstract

Korean Fan Dance is the most favored dance by the entire nation, however, it would be astonishing to explain that this dance's history has been less than 100 years old. Korean Fan Dance, which appeared around 100 years ago, was coincidentally performed by two Shinmuyong (New Dance appeared at the beginning of the 20th century) dancers, Seung-hee Choi(1911-1967) and Baek-bong Kim(1927-) in the same period, and recently Geum-do Jang(1928-2019), a former gisaeng (female entertainer) of Sohwa Gwonbeon (Gisaeng School) in Gunsan area, was also known to have performed a fan dance. I had a curiosity about the fact that the three people had different fan dances. I also realized that our knowledge of Korean Fan Dance might have been scattered. Thus, I attempted to research the history of different Korean fan dances while examined the published materials. As a result, Seung-hee Choi's fan dance changed several times and developed without a certain framework in terms of the function and background of the dance. On the contrary, the fan dance of Baek-bong Kim's movements were formalized and handed down so far without any significant changes until the first presentation. Geum-do Jang's fan dance started as a formalized group dance after learning from Gwonbeon, but later she performed it as a solo dance. After the Korean Liberation, Jang's fan dance lost its venue due to the disappearance of Gwonbeon. Meanwhile, the fan dance of Korean Minority in Chinese was influenced by Seung-hee Choi and the gisaeng, but it was widely changed and interpreted upon topics and expressions.
