Jindo Arirang Monument at the entrance of Pakjangsan (mountain), Sincheon-ri.

As one of the most popular Korean folk songs, Jindo Arirang is the representative Arirang of the Southwestern region of Jeolla Province, originating from Jindo. In this region the vocal production used by folksong singers employs chest voice which creates a thick and wide vocal timbre that gives the music a heartbreaking, weepy quality. Among all the versions of Arirang, Jindo Arirang is particularly unique due to its relative isolation from the rest of the nation, remaining more faithful to its native Jindo culture than other versions of Arirang..
