N2 - Keepon is a robot designed for social interaction with chil- dren for the purposes of social development research and autism therapy [1]. Keepon's capacity for rhythmic syn- chrony in the form of dance has resulted in the popularity of several fictional music videos on the internet [2, 3]. During a research collaboration visit at the KAIST PES Design Lab in Korea, Keepon's creators added this new chapter to the story of Keepon's travels. Upon watching a video of traditional Korean \Pungmulnori" dancing, which features distinctive spinning hats, Keepon becomes enamored. The robot has many adventures as he travels around Korea in search of a dance group that finally welcomes him into their cultural performance. Additional credits: Music (\Superfantastic" by Peppertones/Cavare Sound); Videography (Uyoung Chang and Minwoo Kang); Pungmulnori Team\Ghil"(Junhyung Park, Seong- bok Chae, Sangmi Lee, Mikyeong Kim, and Sohyun Park).
