In the past, people used the music to celebrate. They also used it to frighten away demons. The show starts with the sounds of instruments. At first, you may think the noise of metal hitting metal can't get louder-but it will! And the excitement grows as the music and dances continue. By the end of the show, it's hard not to join in! // During the festival, painting on wood is a popular activity. Try painting lotus flowers. They are both beautiful and the symbol of the festival. // The lantern festival really is a must-see for any tourist to Korea. You don't want to miss it!
