The characteristic of the inequality and irregularity which of the rhythmic cycle in korean traditional music is as important as another characteristics, which is scale 음계, mode 선법, microtonal shading 미분음, ornamental technic 시김새, flexibilie tone 유동성음, vibrato 농현, heterophony 이음성, mehrstimmigkeit 다음성, idom 토리. The very common characteristic of them might be a instability, that is. The melodies are so mobile, the relations between melodies have heterogeneity. Besides, it is emphasized the impromptu of the musical performance transmission. As through all of those characteristics, an instability is guaranteed. It would be a greatful work to study about an instability korean music called an dissymmetry and how it is expressed in rhythmic cycle of korean music. Fortunately they have been continued efforts that find the characteristics and organizations through its researches and discussions in academic world of korean music. We observed the inequality and irregularity in various musics like Chongak 정악, folk music 민속악, and they had been worked with the existing theory as a reference data. On this study, we handled a lot of works, those are, "Has it a structure of mulitimetric rhythm 혼합박자 in a piece of music", Is there a definite musical tempo and a cycle", "Is the music inequable", and "Is there an orderly rhythmic system or not." Now, we conclude those works concerned with 22 pieces of the Korean Traditional Music as follow: At first, all pieces have inequable mixed meter in the subject of the Chongak, Sujechon 수제천, Heemun 희문, Haeryong 해령 don't have any regular rhythmic cycle and tempo, or have weakly regular rhythmic cycle. However, Sangryongsan 상령산, Seryongsan 세령산, Gagok(lyric songs) 가곡, Gasa (narrative songs) 가사, Shijo(sung short poems) 시조 have constant tempos and rhythmic cycles but inequable mixed meter. In the following, 14 pieces of Korean folk music consist of inequbable mulitimetric rhythm with 2beat 2소 박 and 3beat 3소박, and 13pieces of them have regular tempos except Sushimga 수심가. Sushimga, Yokkeumsushimga 엮음수심가, Chulinga(a peice of 12 Chapga) 출인가 and Gombotaryong(a peice of hwimorichapga) have no regular cycles. So most of the Korean folk music have regular rhythmic cycles but each two pieces of Sushimga, Chapga. Chulinga exceptionally has equable(symetrical) meter for 6beats(3+3) and Terballim 터벌림(a shamanistic ritual of Kyonggi province) especially has combined quintuple meter structures that make up with ten dotted quarter beats.
