Ch'unaengjŏn, literally meaning “Spring Nightingale Dance,” is a Korean court dance performed by a single dancer. Most Korean court dances, however, are performed by a group of dancers, not by an individual. It is told that the Nightingale Dance was made by Prince Ikchong during the reign of King Sunjo (1800–1834), inspired by a nightingale on a tree in springtime. According to the Royal Banquet Manual (Chinch'an ŭigwe) of 1848, however, Ch'unaengjŏn was created in 1469, and it therefore seems that this earlier dance was rearranged and completed by Ikchong.
