In this paper, as examining the relationship between popularity factors of modern performance entertainment of Korea and traditional entertainment culture of Korean, it was trying to find the origin of the Korean wave. The origin of the dance and the song of Korea could be found by the recorded materials on the harvest ceremony of ancient society, which is considered as the party sung and danced by various men and women together. The appearance of ancient harvest ceremony could be supposed by shamanic ceremony and shaman such as ritual for a big catch of fish and Daedong Gut. Because shaman sings the shaman song and plays the musical instrument for commenting various human history as well as the meaning of the god and the origin of the human through the dance and gestures, he could be considered as an actor, a singer, or a dancer, so that it is possible to see he is the flag bearer of performance art of Korea and the ancestor of the Korean wave Like as Korean pop giving off the charm through sexual dance, in the harvest ceremony, sexual dance mixing the man and woman was done for praying the richness and the fecundity. In the process of the activity meeting various men and women in the harvest ceremony, there is a basic thought, all things were created by the harmony of Yin and Yang. It is also expressed by traditional playing culture such as a tug-of-war and ``the myth of the father of heaven and the mother of the earth`` in the birth myth of a nation and the myth on creation of the world. Moreover, in the pattern design of Taegeuk flag and the principle making the Hunminjeongeum, it is used dynamically on the basis of profound philosophical idea, a changed win-win principle of Yin and Yang In short, international popularity factors of the Korean wave are influenced by folk entertainment of Korean, which was made by shamanic thought expressing the human instinct on the basis of dynamic mentality in a win-win principle of Yin, Yang, and five elements and the Taegeuk. Moreover, in this context, the modern Korean wave formed a consensus internationally and made the deep conscious of international persons. On the other hand, as following the development of the society, the requirement of the ordinary person for appreciating the art of the entertainer in the position of the entertainment was increased, so that as special entertainers, Ginye and Gagaek appeared. As a typical example, if Gang Namhong, made by the novel of Ginye, Hwang Jinee and the author, Nam Yeongro, is introduced, they are ideal models, which have complete arts and letters and the talent. Therefore, they are the ideal and the goal of the Korean wave. Gagaek is a singer of the intellectual middle class, who enjoyed singing Sijo, Gasa, Gagok, and so on for the entertainment of Yangban, and also enjoyed arts in the late Joseon dynasty. New musical tones made by them influenced the folk song. Moreover, they made folk song of Sijo and their creating Gasa was accepted to lyrics of Pansori. On the other hand, when master singers of Pansori had their heyday under Daewongun at the time of Gojong, they showed the competency as the entertainer and made various performance forms. They were also good at vocal mimicry even to the natural sound, which is the basic competency of contemporary comedian and gagman, also loved by contemporary people. Because the part, which should be talked as the word, is listed through the rhythm, Aniri of the Pansori is similar with the rap of the pop. Features of Korean pop, which has a rapid tempo of 4-4 beats and 2-metre is also similar with Jajinmori and Hwimori Rhythm of Pansori. Moreover, the tradition in the folk song of weaved lyrics, which weaved lyrics as the form of a caricature or a long work has similar functions and rhythm with the singing method of the rap of the pop, which weaved lyrics at the rapid tempo. Because the tradition of this popular music in Korea became the emotional common base, which mixed with modern pop, it promoted development of Korean pop. The method on narrative structure of representative Korean wave drama, <Daejanggeum> repeated the flow of narrative principle, which turns evils into blessings, through overcoming the difficulties after faced with them from bad characters. If ancient novels of Korea are recreated as the form of scripts for Korean wave drama with the effort of imaginative power of the author and also with the multiple views of them, it is possible to create good works for expanding the Korean wave.
