Not long ago, BTS became a hot topic by introducing traditional dance trilobits at an awards ceremony.
It's a traditional dance that taps three drums.
However, the dance industry was confused after the family of the late Lim Ae-bang master, the traditional dance The Cost, claimed Copyright about this trivia.
It's the "Sam Rubber" that recently appeared on the BTS stage.
It is widely known as the traditional dance that beats three drums.
However, recently, the family of the late Lee Mae-bang of the traditional dance of the traditional dance claimed Copyright about 'Samgomu'.
He was a holder of the important Historic Sites of South Korea and Salpuri dance, and he left many dances, among which he registered Copyright as a creation of 'Samgomu', 'Ogomu', 'Janggummu' and 'Daegamnori'.
The family sent proof of their legal responsibility if they were not allowed to the disciples of the two parties, national and public arts organizations, and schools.
"The cultural school has proven its contents. Don't use trigonomu, orgomu..."
The traditional dance world has been turned upside down.
One university closed classes and various traditional cultural schools were in danger of being closed.
The National Dance Company was asked for a Copyright fee.
Is a result of many traditional dancers, and argues that it should not be privatized.
"You really only want to do business by doing it (registering for Copyright) and I think it's impossible to be privately privatized."
The family is fighting back because Lee Mae-bang is the original.
"(Samgomu, etc.) is a creative dance created by a person. It is not a privatization? Then everyone who does traditional art can not create it."
While there is no Copyright for the Historical Sites of South Korea or court dance where the original is preserved, folk dance is controversial.
" (when you create it based on tradition) it's not really clear about what's old, and what's new. (And) I have a certain part of my students who have come up with ideas and made them together, and even if they are protected by Copyright, the scope of protection is very narrow."
It seems that government-level troubles and discussions such as traditional creative arts, who is the right thing, cultural property office, etc. are needed.
