“... 판소리란 ‘판놀음으로 벌이는 소리’라는 뜻이다. 소리라는 말에는 음향(音響)이라는 뜻도 있지만 선소리·김매기소리·짓소리에서 볼 수 있듯이 노래라는 뜻도 있다.”
Most used (in context of 판소리):
1. a situation where many people are gathered
2. a song composed of varying tones

The etymology of 판 in the corresponding 판소리 seems to be widely debated, to the point where there seemingly is no correct meaning of the word/character. As such, it would not be incorrect of me to define pan through its various contexts, molded through the traditional and contemporaneous narratives of the Korean consciousness and, hopefully, reflected into relevant thematic and musical elements.
