ai generated text

Arirang is a Korean folk song with an estimated 600-year history. It has over 3,600 variations, with a refrain similar to "Arirang, arirang, arariyo". The song was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list twice, once by South Korea in 2012 and again by North Korea in 2014. Arirang is believed to have originated in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, and its lyrics may refer to a beloved one or a bridegroom. The song spread throughout Korea after workers from Gangwon were sent to Seoul to rebuild the Gyeongbok Palace. The first known recording of Arirang was made by American ethnologist Alice C. Fletcher in 1896.learn more on wikipedia
