20세기 전반기 라디오방송을 통한 십이가사의 소통과 향유 -­ 잡가와의 비교를 중심으로 ­

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics and transitional process of 12 Gasa carried in the media during the former 20th century. When it comes to radio broadcasting, appearance of Jabga was on the rise while 12 gasa was on the decline on the contrary before double broadcasting started. Declined broadcasting of 12gasa may be interpreted as falling preference by the public. But despite of such low popularity at the performing sites, 12 gasa was not steadily shrinking. The chance of recovering from the decline for 12 gasa was given by radio broadcasting. The character called, “experiencing the diverse culture” pave the foundation for 12 gasa to regain the strength even after losing the popularity. Chosun music aired by radio was mostly performed by Gisaeng. Leewangjik Aakbu who sensed the critical situation amid falling popularity of traditional music tried aggressively to deal with the facing difficulties. Participation by Leewangjik Aakbu in radio program served as a momentum to make the Gisaeng performance-centered broadcasting environment more diverse as well as to raise directly the position of 12 gasa from the song by Gisaeng to the song by the artist engaged on court music.
