๐Ÿ“ฐ Lim Woong-soo, Leading Practitioner of Korean Nongak, Appointed as Arirang Master

- Bringing the spirit and vitality of Korean Nongak to the global heritage stage

[Arirang Culture Connect | Seoul, November 8, 2025]

Lim Woong-soo, Chairman of the Korean Nongak Federation, officially designated as Arirang Master

The 6th Session of the International Advisory Board (IAB), jointly organized by Culture Masters (CM) and the Advocacy Alliance for Culture Masters (AACM), was held on November 7, 2025, with participation from foremost experts in intangible cultural heritage and cultural policy representing 16 countries.

During the meeting, Mr. Lim Woong-soo, holder of Gyeonggi-do Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 20 (Gwangmyeong Nongak), Chairman of the Korean Nongak Federation (Republic of Korea), and Vice Chairman of the Korean Traditional Music Promotion Association, was officially designated as Arirang Master No. 25001104 for the second half of 2025.

This appointment honors his more than five decades of dedication to preserving, revitalizing, and transmitting the living rhythm of Korean farmersโ€™ band music (Nongak) through artistic excellence, creative reinterpretation, and community-based leadership.

The Arirang Masters Program โ€“ A Platform for Intangible Heritage and Global Solidarity

Launched in 2023 by Culture Masters, the Arirang Masters Program is an international certification and recognition initiative that honors practitioners of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) who demonstrate outstanding artistic mastery and cultural impact.

The program was designed in alignment with the 1980 UNESCO Recommendation on the Status of Artists and the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, aiming to enhance the social status of artists and foster international cultural diplomacy and sustainable networks of solidarity.

To date, 38 masters from over 21 countries have been designated.
Together they are building a sustainable global network for heritage education, digital transmission, international performance, and community-based collaboration.

Mr. Limโ€™s appointment symbolizes how Korean traditional performing arts are emerging as a new model of cultural leadership within the global heritage discourse.

Resonating with the Drumbeat of Community

As Artistic Director of the Gwangmyeong Nongak Preservation Society,
Chairman of the Korean Nongak Federation, and Vice Chairman of the Korean Traditional Music Promotion Association,
Mr. Lim has restored the 450-year-old Sanggongchum (Chief Drummerโ€™s Dance) and revived the original form of Gureumsan Dodanggut, transforming Nongak into an art of collective participation.

His drumbeat transcends performance itself โ€” it serves as a cultural language of solidarity that bridges generations and communities.

He also founded the Bapsim Festival, an innovative celebration that translates the traditional philosophy of Daedong-sasang (communal unity) into contemporary artistic expression.
In his policy leadership roles, he has championed the legislative movement for the Korean Traditional Music Promotion Act, bridging the fields of policy and practice to strengthen the future of Korean music heritage.

From Art to Peace โ€“ A Stage for Cultural Diplomacy

In 2026, Mr. Lim will lead the K-Peace Cultural Diplomacy Project, a performance tour across 16 countries that will share Koreaโ€™s spirit of peace and solidarity through the sound of the drum.
This journey embodies the core philosophy of the Arirang Masters Program โ€” that

โ€œTradition is not memory; it is a living, breathing life.โ€

A Legacy of Honor and Dedication

At the 1st National Gugak Day Ceremony (2025), Mr. Lim received the Grand Merit Award from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, recognizing his extraordinary service to the nationโ€™s traditional music heritage.
He is widely regarded as a cultural leader who embodies both artistic excellence and communal spirit, ensuring that the heartbeat of Korean Nongak resonates beyond generations and across borders โ€” a living rhythm that shapes the future of Koreaโ€™s intangible heritage on the world stage.
