The fourth scene of the Goseong Ogwandae masked dance focuses on on an old monk who had led an ascetic life at a Buddhist monastery in the mountains. When he sees a barmaid who begins flirting, the monk loses self-control and begins to seduce her.
While the mockery of the yangban noblemen was rather severe in the Goseong Ogwandae play, the satire towards the monk was more mild, due to the stronger prominence of Buddhism in the originating region.
