Beokkunori can be largely divided into Gokkalsogo and Chaesangbeokku depending on the shape of bamboo hat. Chaesangbeokku is a dance with diverse forms and body gestures created by wearing and spinning a bucket hat attached with Chaesangmo. Chaesangnoreum is Chaesang Utnoreum in which the style and splendor of Chaesang shaken in the air according to the powerful melody stand out. During Pungmul performances, the image of long cloth and paper spinning around brings a powerful and intense feeling. In order to examine characteristics of Korean Beokkunori, it is necessary to investigate Gyeongsang-do region, which is referred to as the home of Beokkunori. Gyeongsang-do Beokkunori was spread over the nation with activities of Sotdaejaengipae, a group of wandering artists. Closer to being an acrobatic performance based on body movements, 'Gyeongsang-do Beokkunori' was symbolized as the flower of Pungmul performances with the splendor and dynamic movement of Chaesang.
In this study, performance method of Gyeongsang-do Sotdaejaengipae Beokkunori was examined by looking into various motions and expressions. Furthermore, regionality and characteristics of Gyeongsang-do Beokkunori were analyzed based on comparison with other regions. First, Gyeongsang-do Beokkunori is classified into three types according to the form of play. 'Loose noreumnori' is a type in which one freely moves around the Pungmul stage in joy. 'Technical noreumnori' is a type that plays with polished and elegant techniques. Also, 'dispositional noreumnori' creates large battle dispositions, as dynamic and combatant dispositions are regarded as important. The basis for transmission of Gyeongsang-do Beokkunori can be examined in terms of social, organizational, and cultural bases. An example of social base is the formation of capital market with large scale marketplaces in Jinju, the distributing center of rich products. Organizational bases include repeated reorganization of wandering artist groups that created profit from dance, singing and acrobatic performances while wandering around commercially developed areas like Jangsi, Sijeon and Jochang, as well as formation of Sotdaejaengipae that placed its stronghold in Jinju. Cultural bases include expansion of Pungmulnori after the liberation through competitions and appointment of cultural heritages by government policies intended to preserve cultural assets.
There are three performance methods of Gyeongsang-do Sotdaejaengipae Beokkunori such as Momnolim, Chaesangnoreum, and Sogonolim. Momnolim is composed of 'Durugeori' or Yeonpungdae that advances while consecutively spinning round before Beokku motion, 'Duijimbeokku' where Beokkujaebi flips over his back by leaning the body and stamping his feet on the ground, 'Jipneun Beokku' that twists the body according to the finishing rhythm while flipping over, and 'Soseumbeokku' that shoots up after sitting down facing the left side. Chaesangnoreum includes 'Oesa' that makes a circle either in right or left direction, 'Yangsa' that makes circles alternately to the right and then to the left, 'Kkokjisa' that erects the tip of Chaesang using a knob, and 'Sasa' that quickly winds it twice from right and left. Sogonolim consists of 'Dadeuraegi Gibonchigi' that alternately strikes the front and back sides of small drum, 'Deotbaegi Gibonchigi' that strikes the front and back sides, and vice versa, 'Eoppeochigi' that strikes down, 'Ollyeo Huryeochigi' that alternately strikes bottom and top, and 'Dageurakchigi' that strikes down on one side in the middle of striking the outer rim. Regional characteristics of Gyeongsang-do Chaesangnoreum include Sangmunori created by Durugeori and Duijimbeokku, aggressive description and diverse dispositions of battle scenes, and various dancing steps that differ according to the method of body movement.
