The history of tightrope walking in Korea is quite old. In the change of Goguryeo tombs, various performances were found, such as walking wooden legs, receiving bells, performing sword tricks, ssireum, and watermelon plays.

However, the possibility of tightrope walking during this period is not denied because there are many events such as tightrope walking and sotdae walking in the 塼 of the ancient tombs in China before Goguryeo, and if more Korean tombs are excavated in the future, the possibility of tightrope walking during this period is not denied.

In particular, considering that tightrope walking is a self-sustaining event that exists universally around the world, and that mountain and white play events including tightrope walking were transmitted and performed together by professional performance groups, the possibility of tightrope walking is even higher.
