If you're looking to do something different this weekend.
Here are some suggestions.
How about some Traditional Korean dance and music performances.
Lee Min-sun provides a glimpse of what to expect.
Every Saturday afternoon, fans of Korea's traditional arts can visit the National Gugak Center in Seoul to watch a music and dance performance.
The Saturday Performance of Korean Music and Dance has been holding regular performances for the past thirty years. These Saturday shows consist of Korean traditional music, dance and singing performances run for an hour and half.
The performers use instruments like the Gayageum, the Korean harp or Samulnori, a traditional percussion quartet and the Taepyongso, the conical oboe,... and they add traditional singing and dances to the music.
Audiences can also enjoy fan dances, Buddhist dances, and Ganggnagsulae, a Korean circle dance play performed under the full moon.
Another performance is the Bongsan Talchum, a traditional mask dance that originates from Hwanghae-do Province in North Korea. Talchum is known for its humorous satire of the upper class and portrayal of common people's lives.
And to make the traditional arts more inclusive, the Gugak Center is offering commentaries at its Saturday performances. A commentator will give an overview of the performance and explain the historical background and characteristics of each song and performance. These comments will also be shown on large screens both in Korean and English so foreign audience members are not left out.
Admission for the Saturday Performance of Korean Music and Dance is from 10,000 to 20,000 won, about 8-and-a-half to 17 U.S. dollars per person.

[2015 K-Music Festival] National Gugak Center
[2015 K-Music Festival] Korean National Gugak Center at Sadler’s Wells
Wednesday 30 September
The National Gugak Center is the headquarters of traditional Korean performing arts. Music is an essential part of Korean history, which stretches back over five millennia. The spirit of Korean music, the artistic expression of pleasure and excitement, is very much alive in the numerous performances given at the National Gugak Center. The evening showed off some of the great traditional instruments of Korean traditional music such as the geomungo (large zither), daegeum (transverse flute) and haegeum (Korean fiddle). This indeed provided a fitting conclusion to the K-Music Festival.
Janggu Class Performance (국립국악원 National Gugak Center - 2016)
Janggu is a traditional Korean drum that has an hourglass shape. This program was offered by the National Gugak Center for foreigners interested in learning how to play traditional Korean instruments. They also offered courses in Gayageum and Haegeum. I gave the opening speech to introduce our class and I'm sorry if my Korean sounds bad (I am still learning and I was so nervous lol). Anyway, I hope you enjoy watching our performance. Thank you!

Time now for our Life & Info segment,... where we focus on information useful for your everyday life.
Today we are going to focus on culture and the arts.
To tell us about some events for this weekend and more, we have our Lee Min-sun in the studio.
Min-sun, what do you have for us?
Hi Mark,
Last time I was in the studio, I introduced some cultural performances to enjoy on weekdays after work.
Today, I'm going to introduce weekend performances called 'Saturday Performance of Korean Music and Dance.'
It's a regular performance that has been taking place for over 30 years on Saturdays at the National Gugak Center.
These Saturday performances which run for 90 minutes consist of Korean traditional music, dance and singing performances.
In the first week of August, it will present some traditional musical instruments like Gayageum, the Korean harp or Samulnori, a traditional percussion quartet along with Taepyongso, the conical oboe.
Performers will compliment the music with traditional singing and dancing.
And throughout August, some more familiar forms of traditional music and dances will be presented.
Some folk songs from the Jellado-provincial area and royal ancestral rites music will be performed.
Royal ancestral rites music is the kind of music played at Jongmyo Shrine.
You can also enjoy a range of traditional dances like fan dance, Buddhist dance, and Ganggnagsulae, the traditional Korean circle dance play performed under the full moon.
Another performance is the Bongsan Talchum, a traditional mask dance that originates from Hwanghae-do province in North Korea.
Talchum is known for its humorous satire of the upper class and portrayal of common people's lives. It's also fun to see the different facial expressions on masks.
It sounds like a range of traditional Korean dance and music to enjoy. I personally haven't seen many traditional performances here in Korea because I think I need to have some background to fully understand the traditional arts.
Right, that's how some people Koreans and non-Koreans - feel about traditional music and dance performances because they are not familiar with it.
To make the traditional arts more inclusive, the National Gugak Center is offering commentaries at its Saturday performances.
Unfortunately, it's not offered on every Saturdays, but there are two scheduled in September, in the first and the last week of the month.
A commentator will provide an overview of the performance and explain the historical background and characteristics of each song and performance.
And these comments will be shown on large screens both in Korean and English so foreign audiences will not be left out.
Admission for Saturday Performance of Korean Music and Dance is from 10,000 to 20,000 won, about 8-and-a-half to 17 U.S. dollars a person.
And for those who want to start their weekend early, there's Friday Contemporary Gugak Concert in August.
Friday concerts combine some contemporary elements and even classical music to lower the bar for newcomers.
That's very interesting. Thank you for your reporting, Min-sun. Now, let's take a quick look at some cultural events coming up in Korea.
