'Gochang nongak first came into my life at a college traditional music band. Since then, I've gone to Gochang every summer and winter to learn the music,' said Kim Mi-jung, a kkwaenggwari player of Gochang nongak, a type of traditional farmers' music developed in Gochang-gun, North Jeolla Province.The kkwaenggwari is a metal percussion instrument or gong with a radius the length of the span of one's outstretched hand, and a wooden mallet.With its high-pitched tone, the Korean traditional instrument plays a leading role in nongak performances, setting the main rhythm that the other instruments follow.
