"Arirang Fantasy" ( Korean: «아리랑 환상곡»), originally titled "Arirang" ( Korean: «아리랑»), [2] is a 1976 modern classical composition for orchestra by the North Korean composer Choi Sung-hwan, who died in 1981. [3] It based on the Korean folk song " Arirang", [4] [5] [6] specifically the "Bonjo Arirang" arrangement, which is the most popular and well-known of all the "Arirang" variations, [7] [8] [9] thanks to its popularization in the 1926 film Arirang.
