Doraji taryeong

However, the currently sung version is classified as a folk song from Gyeonggi, as the rhythm and the melody have changed to acquire the characteristics of it.

Like other traditional songs from Korea, it uses the pentatonic scale of jung (G), im (A), mu (C), hwang (D), and tae (E).

Doraji is the Korean name for the plant Platycodon grandiflorus (known as "balloon flower" in English) as well as its root.

Doraji taryeong is one of the most popular folk songs in both North and South Korea, and among Koreans in China.
