“Arirang” is a Korean Folk song and also the most popular Korean song. When was the song written? No one knows for sure, nobody knows the date. But according to some scholars the song might have been written 2000 years ago and has continued and been shared from one mouth to another. There are many versions of Arirang but the three most popular versions of the song are: “Jung Sun,” “Mil Yang,” and “Jin Do.” 
Since 1979, Artist Kim Kyung Sang has walked a single path with documentary works pursuing anthropological spirit. His works can be categorized into 3 themes; love and concern for the marginalized in poverty and agony, spirit of holy doers for humanism, trace of Korean Folk culture.
