Ganggangsullae
The play-dance the apprentice Court ladies were doing the night of the tiger. It looks fun and bit scary at the same time to me. I used to shake like a leaf whenever I had to step on the sturdier friends’s backs in school acrobatic drill performances lol.
Yes! Ganggangsullae!
But, okay, but you know why I know this song? Because it was used in TALE OF THE NINE TAILED as a creepy backing track for the Nightmare Episode 9… I still want to know what arrangement they used in 9T because I love it, and I listened to like every arrangement I could find on Youtube just a few months ago.
Wow what an amazing song! Thank you for sharing all the links, so cool.
So I tried looking it up and didn’t find any except some comentors speculating it’s a variation of Ganggangsullae, which could be true but ALSO could be just that viewers recognising tonal similarities therefore instinctively linking them together.
(There’s very lil possibility me finding anything new about a topic you couldn’t alr find haha)
My take is that it
1. Is a folk song inspired tune the drama made up anew.
2. It might actually exist! Because here in my country we have versions for both of them, so why not in Korea! Haha.
Sharing my country’s versions (directly translating here, some sentences might not make sense)
Ganggangsullae-like one
Kids hold hands and form a circle, dancing while singing this-
“Milk-milk-ball, frill-frill-necklace (nonsense words)
Where is this kid from?, bought from the Rose forest
Dading biding dong (an imitation of the sound when people fall down, as they fall on to the floor after saying this line)
The Gatekeeper song like one-
Again kids form a circle, this time around one kid who is the “goat”. And there’s a “wolf” outside the circle, trying to break the handholds.
The wolf sings “I came to eat goats, open the gates”
The circle sings “Eat goat shit!”
I’m pretty sure it IS a variation of Ganggangsullae because they have the same lyrics and the melody is at least half the same (but you have to listen for it in the traditional version- time stamp 3:45), but could definitely be like a more kids folk song version or variation that exists as well as the dance/game.
Another folk song I haven’t been able to find is the Salamander Rain song used in Lovers of the Red Sky 😅- can you tell I just like creepy folk music? haha

I can relate! I’m also quite into traditional music, folk songs, poems and their reinterpretations in modern media!
