It was performed to criticize the Korean nobility (Yangban) by depicting them as the handicapped persons and sick persons such as gimps, midgets, hunchbacks, and lepers. It originated in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do.
There is a controversy over the nature of this dance that it may be discriminatory against the handicapped persons.
