Mascot

The characters are based on three familiar animals found in Korea:
"Jangguri" the raccoon dog holding a janggu (hourglass-shaped drum) in traditional attire, "Kkwanggwari" the pheasant with a kkwaenggwari (small gong), and "Geobuk" the turtle playing a buk (drum).
Together, they form a cute samulnori musical band, along with "Haegumi", a gugak fairy based on the haegeum (two-stringed fiddle).
