Traditional music parade in Seoul.
Korea has produced music (Korean: 음악; RR: eumak; MR: ŭmak) from thousands of years, until the modern day. After the division of Korea in 1945, both North and South Korea have produced their own styles of music.
Traditional music (국악; gugak; lit. national music[1]) produced by Korea includes court music, folk music, poetic songs, and religious music used in shamanistic and Buddhist traditions.[2]
Modern music includes K-pop (케이팝; keipap), the popular music of South Korea. North Korea also produces its own popular music, as well as music that's inspired by traditional music.
