ABSTRACT

Jeonju is the core city for the transmission of pansori, as well as acity in which pansori-related performances are lively put on. Competitionsand festivals such as ‘Jeonju daesaseup nori,’ ‘Wansan National GugakFestival,’ and ‘Jeonju Sori Festival’ are held every year, and ‘changgeuk’performance by Jeonbuk Provincial Changgeuk Company and ‘madangchanggeuk’ by Jeonju Cultural Foundation are also held continuously. Inaddition, Jeonju, in which a number of pansori myeongchangs (mastersingers) including holders of intangible cultural heritage pansori reside,passes down pansori livelier than any other city. Behind the growth of Jeonju into such a place for the livelytransmission and supply of pansori were Jeonju Gwonbeon and JeonjuGugak Institute. Jeonju Gwonbeon was a space established in the 1910sfor educating gisaengs about singing, dancing, and music, and was thelife base of local virtuosos and renowned singers as well as thestronghold of gugak education until directly after Independence. TheJeonju Gugak Institute was a private institute for gugak organized afterJeonju Gwonbeon was dissolved, and it took charge of gugak education until 1960 when it was also dissolved. That is, modern and contemporarypansori in Jeonju region could develop with these two spaces as thefoundation. However, despite the weight carried by Jeonju Gwonbeon and JeonjuGugak Institute in the course of the development of pansori in Jeonjuregion, little attention has been paid to the two organizations. Neitherdata nor research on master singers in the two organizations as well asthe establishment and operation of the organizations has been insufficient. Therefore, this paper collected relevant data as much as possible, andinvestigated the processes of the establishment and operation of the twoorganizations and activities of master singers in the spaces. Through this,it was also tried to grasp the process and aspects of pansori transmissionin Jeonju region.
