Drum dance has evolved from “Mugo” to “Gomu,” and then “Gomu” has become a cultural art of various cultural backgrounds of regions. Understanding this evolution as a natural progression, this lecture explores BTS’ drum dance as a symbol of traditional Korean arts with artistic, academic, and historical significance.
