From Wikipedia
Changgeuk (Korean: 창극) or ch'angguk is a genre of traditional Korean opera, performed as a play but in the Korean folk song style known as pansori. Shamanic songs are the ultimate origin of Pansori as well. There are many similarities between Pansori and Shamanic songs of western Korea. Pansori began as a recognized form of entertainment in Korea dating back to the 17th century, however, it wasn’t popular until towards the 19th century. In the 20th century, it declined in popularity, just like Talchum, during the occupation of the Japanese while Korea fought for its independence.
