Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang Ganggangsullae: 2026 Family Program Guide

Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang’s Ganggangsullae program, officially listed in Korean as ‘2026 어울어울우리가족 – 강강술래 한바퀴,’ was held on May 2 and 3, 2026. For readers looking up a Ganggangsullae Concert in Seoul, the important point is that this was a family-participation traditional arts program combining folk song learning, Ganggangsullae experience activities, and performance viewing across Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang and Seoul Woorisori Museum.¹

Because the dates have already passed, this guide is written as a reference summary rather than a booking notice. It gathers the confirmed schedule, venues, ticket price, duration, age guidance, performers, and program format from the available official and cultural listings.

Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang Ganggangsullae Program at a Glance

The program was announced as part of the 2026 Mom and Dad Happiness Project and presented as a family-participation traditional arts experience. Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang described it as a program where families could make and experience traditional play together, with the activity centered on Ganggangsullae.¹

The official Seoul Namsan and Donhwamun Gugakdang integrated program page listed the event as a Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang performance and gave two associated locations: Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang and Seoul Woorisori Museum. It confirmed the dates as May 2 and 3, 2026, with four sessions each day at 11:00, 12:00, 14:30, and 15:30.²

The age guidance should be read carefully. The official Seoul Namsan and Donhwamun Gugakdang program page listed the viewing age as 3 and older, while the April 13 announcement described the target audience as families accompanied by children age 4 and older.¹² For practical reference, both details are source-backed, and the source material does not provide a separate explanation for the difference.

What the Ganggangsullae Program Included

The event was structured as a connected education, experience, and performance program. The announcement described a format in which families learned folk songs at Seoul Woorisori Museum, then took part in Ganggangsullae activities and watched a professional traditional arts performance at Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang.¹ BabyNews also introduced the program as a collaboration with Seoul Woorisori Museum that linked folk song learning, Ganggangsullae experience, and performance viewing.³

That format is useful to understand because this was not presented only as a seated stage performance. Seoul Culture Portal registered the event as a gugak cultural event and described it as an experiential performance program focused on folk song and dance, with the whole family participating around the theme of Ganggangsullae.⁴

The announced performers were Jang Ji-su for dance, Hong Ju-hyun for folk song, and Gyeonggi Sori Group Yoyeon.⁴ The available source material does not give a full running order, individual stage times, or a detailed song list. The safest way to describe the lineup is therefore as part of the combined folk song, dance, experience, and performance format.

For readers comparing listings, the most consistent details are the two-day run, the four daily session times, the 20,000 won all-seat price, and the link between Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang and Seoul Woorisori Museum. Culture Portal, using performance information, also listed the period as May 2-3, 2026, the Saturday and Sunday session times as 11:00, 12:00, 14:30, and 15:30, the venue as Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang, the duration as 1 hour 30 minutes, and the price as 20,000 won for all seats.⁵

Practical Notes for Reference

The Seoul Metropolitan Government’s May 2026 cultural calendar included ‘2026 어울어울우리가족 – 강강술래 한바퀴’ as a monthly cultural event and listed the same dates and four daily times: May 2-3, 2026, at 11:00, 12:00, 14:30, and 15:30. It also listed Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang and Seoul Woorisori Museum as the locations, the fee as 20,000 won for all seats, and 02-3210-7001 as the inquiry number.⁶

For archival or planning purposes, this makes the program a useful example of how Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang presented traditional arts for family audiences in 2026. The available information supports describing it as a short-format, family-centered traditional arts program rather than a large-scale concert, even though readers may naturally search for it with terms such as Ganggangsullae Concert.
