They are proclaimed and maintained by South Korea's Cultural Heritage Administration. Practices of particular importance can be designated as Important Intangible Cultural Properties (, ''Jungyo Muhyeong Munhwajae''). The first practice so designated was '' Jongmyo jeryeak'', the ancient music and dance performed at the Jongmyo Royal Ancestral Shrine in Seoul; it was proclaimed on December 7, 1964. The most recent, announced on November 16, 2006, was Important Intangible Cultural Property 119, ''geumbakjang'' (gold leaf decoration), practiced in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do.
