I couldn't understand a word of it (if anyone wishes to make a subtitled version ... :D ) but I think I understood what they were talking about from the images. Really good video. The language is beautiful too :)

The first riders group in this video, are they the Hwarang group or just a regular warrior group?

at 1:50, wheres the horn? It looks like the first piece that they showed was the horn and bamboo already together; the bamboo being the inner piece and the horn the outter?

[ishouldplayzelda]

do they use the horn shaving's for anything?

[TriBunny]

Yes, it's Isinglass. He's making a fibrous and flexible support for the bow out of the straightened tendon and the protein of the natural fish glue.

[TriBunny]

Yes, it's Isinglass.

He's lubricating and straightening out the tendon to apply as a backing for the bow, sort of like a primitive fiberglass. As the proteins in the isinglass dry, they bind with the porous nature of the tendon.

He then dips the tendon strip in water, and heats it to harden and bind the tendon, wood, and proteins together, resulting in a flexible but very sturdy bow, already backed to the cured isinglass binding the horn on the bow's backbone.

Hope that helps.
