🎭 Talchum is a traditional Korean masked dance performance where dancers wear masks to transform into different characters.

Originally performed by traveling entertainers, it spread across Korea during the late Joseon Dynasty and became a beloved part of folk culture. Through humor, storytelling, and dance, Talchum often satirized social inequality and the absurdities of society. 🇰🇷
