This isn’t what I expected from a UNESCO World Heritage-listed folk performance.
On stage, a butcher brandishes a pair of testicles, freshly cut from a slaughtered bull, and tries to sell them to the men in the audience as a virility aid. “You old gentlemen with your young wives,” he says. “You can’t do without these balls!”
Cue raucous laughter, which turns to borderline hysteria when a middle-aged Korean woman approaches the stage to inspect the merchandise and give them a squeeze.
