“Jamjari Kkongkkong” is a Korean traditional children's song based on nature. Jamjari means “dragonfly” and kkongkkong is an expression that represents “to freeze/stop in place.” Children in South Korea used to sing this song while chasing dragonflies, in hopes that a dragonfly would freeze in place to make it easier to catch. This arrangement begins with the original folk song (mm. 3-6), then continues with a modified version of the melody.
