AB - As human and material exchanges between Korea and Vietnam become more improve, the two countries need to deeply understand each other's cultures from the standpoint of mutual cultural respect. In this article, among Vietnamese culture, Quan Ho, a folk song for male and female group exchanges handed down in the northern region of Vietnam, was examined. Quan-ho is mainly transmitted in the northern provinces of Bac Ninh and Bac Giang, and is sung in the form of an exchange of love between men and women. Since it was designated as a UNESCO Intangible Asset in 2009, the number of villages singing this folk song has increased to 369 and the number of clubs to 381, and these villages are strengthening economic and social ties by exchanging Quan Ho folk songs. Many young men and women gather in club rooms, halls, and friends' houses every night to practice quan-ho, where same-sex people form a team and exchange songs with other opposite-sex teams. In the folk song village, there are dozens of Quan ho teams for men and women, and folk songs are taught directly from the village elders or parents. The trained Quan ho team visits other villages on a village-by-village basis and exchanges folk songs with each other. In folk songs, the first 'câu ra' is sung by a pair of female singers, and the 'response' (câu đối) is sung by a pair of male singers. Quan Ho has more than 300 melodies and more than 213 melodic variations to express different emotions. Quan ho's lyrics express emotions such as the longing and sadness felt after parting with a lover, and the happiness felt when meeting a lover in figurative language. Quan Ho play an important mediating role in strengthening the bonds between all members of the village community and the village.
