According to the introduction of Korean students, agricultural music has been passed down for a long time in the Gaeryeong-myeon area, Gimcheon city, Gyeongsangbuk-do province. The name "Binnnae" comes from the name of the village in the area, meaning "agricultural music of Binnnae village". The special feature of this agricultural music is the Jingut part, where the performers are divided into two rows, moving strongly like an army, showing courage and solidarity.

Gaeryeong Elementary School established the Binnnae Agricultural Music Club in 2001. It has been running for 24 years and has won more than 40 awards, including more than 20 national awards.

Mr. Jang Young Tag, Principal of Gaeryeong Elementary School, Korea, said that Korea and Vietnam have long been two close neighboring countries, with many cultural similarities such as using rice as the main food, following Buddhism and respecting the tradition of worshipping ancestors. Today, the relationship between the two countries is becoming closer through increasingly strong economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation.
