'''''Pungmul''''' ({{korean|풍물|風物}}; {{IPA-ko|pʰuːŋmul|IPA}}) is a [[
Older scholars often describe this tradition as '''''nongak''''' ({{IPA-ko|noŋak|lang}}), a term meaning "farmers' music" whose usage arose during the [[Korea under Japanese rule|colonial era]] (
Drumming is the central element of pungmul.
Pungmul was added to the [[UNESCO]] intangible cultural heritage list as "Joseonjok Nongak" by China in 2009 and South Korea in November 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=123313|title='Nongak' added to UNESCO list|publisher=[[Korea.net]]|access-date=2014-11-28|date=2014-11-28}}</ref>

In some regional pungmul types, ''japsaek'' (actors) dressed as [[caricature]]s of traditional village roles wander around to engage spectators, blurring the boundary between performers and audience. ''Minyo'' (folksongs) and chants are sometimes included in ''pungmul'', and audience members enthusiastically sing and dance along.

Pungmul performers wear a variety of colorful costumes. A flowery version of the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] ''gokkal'' is the most common head-dress.

''Pungmul''
Most scholarly works on ''pungmul'' focus on the two distinct styles present in the [[Honam]] region encompassing the two Jeolla provinces.<ref>{{Harvnb|Park|2000|p=65}}</ref> In this region, the designations ''jwado'' (left) for Imsil Pilbong and ''udo'' (right) for Iri are determined according to [[Geomancy|geomantic principles]]. Looking southward from the "center" ([[Seoul]], the capital), ''udo'' indicates "right", and ''jwado'' indicates "left".<ref name="Hesselink2006p11" /> Comparative studies between the two styles brought about the development of stereotypes among professional groups. ''Honam jwado'' became known for its varying formations and rapid rhythmic patterns, while ''honam udo'' was generally seen as having slow but graceful rhythmic patterns.<ref>{{Harvnb|Park|2000|p=66}}</ref>

Pungmul dance does not deviate from the interrelationship and balance with the elements that make up the Pungmul but also harmonizes closely with music.

Pungmul is played in several international communities, especially by the Koreans living abroad.
Some dancing activities associated with pungmul performed by the ethnic Koreans living in China, known as the "farmer's dance of ethnic Korean" ({{Korean|hangul=조선족 농악 무|hanja=朝鮮族農樂舞|mr=Chosŏnjok nongak-mu|labels=no}}), were submitted as a cultural heritage to UNESCO.

== Development of Pungmul in America ==
=== First phase (1985–1989) ===
P'ungmul's history in the United States is intimately linked to the history of Korean American activism. Numerous founders of these organizations were active in or sympathized with Korean political conflicts. It is critical to note that all of these Korean expressive styles were prevalent throughout the 1970s and 1980s Minjung Munhwa movement that swept South Korean college campuses. Many of the early p'ungmul organizations either originated as a cultural division of a larger organizational (usually political) or became part of one, shortly after formation. In 1985, Binari in New York was established and Sori, formed on the University of California in Berkeley. Il-kwa-Nori of the Korean American Resource and Cultural Center in Chicago, also an affiliate of NAKASEC, formed in 1988. Shinmyŏngpae of the communal organization Uri Munhwa Chatkihwe in 1990.<ref name="Kwon-2001">{{Cite journal|last=Kwon|first=D. L|date=2001|title=The Roots and Routes of Pungmul in the United States|journal=Music and Culture|pages=39–56}}</ref>
In the 1970s and 1980s, a few Koreans stayed in the US for long periods of time to assist create p'ungmul organizations and spread its teachings. Kim Bong Jun, a Korean artist noted for his folk-inspired paintings and prints, was one such people. Many people were forced to reconsider their participation in the Korean-American connection due to issues like reunification and knowledge about the Kwangju Uprising.
=== Second phase (1990 - Present) ===
Yi Jong-hun, a Korean minister who visited the United States in 1990 and 1991, is another figure seen as important by many long-time p'ungmul practitioners. Yi Jong-hun paid visits to Los Angeles, New York City, and KYCC in Oakland during his tour. He was involved in the formation of the Kutkori group at Harvard. He also provided reading and teaching materials on Pungmul, Minyo, and Movement Songs.<ref name="Kwon-2001"/> A normal college p'ungmul group has between 15 and 20 members on average, while some organizations have persisted with less than 10 and as many as 30 to 35 members. Hanoolim<ref>{{cite web | url=https://community.ucla.edu/studentorg/734 | title=Hanoolim: Korean Cultural Awareness Group at UCLA }}</ref> (University of California/Los Angeles), Karakmadang (University of Illinois), Hansori (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), NyuRi (New York University), and Loose Roots (University of Chicago) are just a few of the early 1990s groups. Other forms of special-interest clubs have emerged in the United States, bringing more variety to the community of p'ungmul students. Groups have been founded by and for Korean adoptees and activists as well as seniors, kids, Catholic Church members, and people in their mid-thirties and forties, to name just a few.<ref name="Kwon-2001"/>
