* The show has closed. Buyeo served as the capital of Baekje during the Three Kingdoms period, and it has a history of remarkable cultural and artistic achievements. The Buyeo-gun Chungnam Gugak Group, an artistic ensemble that perpetuates the musical traditions of Baekje, has engaged with audiences through over 100 performances annually since its establishment in 1994. The group presents a variety of performances in four categories: instrumental music, sori, pungmul, and dance. The Saturday Show, which commenced in 2008, offers a distinctive form of entertainment to the audience with a novel theme introduced every year. In 2022, the theme was "A Journey to Baekje with Gugak," where the history and culture of Baekje were expressed through music. In 2023 and 2024, the performances continued under the theme of "Baneuijihui,” which is defined as "playing in colorful children's clothes." The performance aims to evoke a sense of childlike joy and wonder among all age groups thus leaving a lasting impression on family visitors. Additionally, the performance encompasses a selection of refined gugak, including The Five Musicians of Baekje*, a contemporary reinterpretation of the five musicians in Great Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, a national treasure; Gayageum Byeongchang (“a voice with gayageum”), which melds sentimental lyrics with exquisite gayageum melodies; Han Young-sook’s Taepyeongmu, which features sophisticated dance movements; and an exhilarating instrumental ensemble music and pangut. * The Five Musicians of Baekje: Refers to the five musicians depicted on the Baekje Geumdongdaehyangro or, Great Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, who are seated and playing a variety of instruments.
