The development of night tourism is one of the crucial means to enrich and prosper the night-time economy. Recently, as a popular topic of sustainable development, night tourism has received extensive attention. However, little attention has been paid to night tourism, especially from the emotional perspective of tourists. Furthermore, discussions on how and why tourists become interested in night tourism are still lacking. To fill the research gap, based on the theory of experience economy, we used the concept of lovemarks to explore the influence of tourists’ tourism experience and lovemarks on their brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 487 tourists of “Cultural Heritage Night”, a night tourism brand in South Korea. The results indicate that tourists’ entertainment and educational experience significantly influence their lovemarks (both of brand love and respect), and esthetic experience only significantly influences brand respect.

  • Jeonju Is a Historic City in Korea
    SUSTAINABLE CITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TRADITIONAL CULTURE REVITALIZATION 1. Context Jeonju is a historic city in Korea. As the city where government agencies were located during the Joseon Dynasty, Jeonju became the center of politics, economic, and culture power of the Jeolla area. After experiencing government-led economic development and consequent urbanization, Jeonju has grown into a large city with over 650,000 people. 1 However, Jeonju was relatively alienated from the rapid industrialization and economic growth of country. It needed an economic drive through which to promote local development. Korea’s adoption of the “local autonomy” system in the 1990s, led local governments to pursue a new set of local development policies. Jeonju, facing a lack of industrial infrastructure, prioritized policies based on traditional cultural resources a. A series of events led to Jeonju’s implementation of the Traditional Culture City Project. In 1977, Jeonju designated an area with a heavy concentration of traditional buildings as the Traditional Architecture Preservation Zone (Jeonju Hanok Village). The construction limitation that came with the designation resulted in many residents leaving the. Residents began to demand the removal of the Traditional Architecture Preservation Zone designation, which was finally removed in 1995. From then, the area began to attract new modern buildings. Local, cultural, and artistic experts raised the need to preserve traditional culture and demanded the re-designation of the area as a preservation zone. Property rights of residents collided with the need to preserve traditional culture, leading to serious discussions about policies on traditional culture within the local community and led to a series of policies that protected residents’ property rights while preserving traditional buildings.

  • Relief Printmaking in Korea
    UCSC ART 161C College of Fine Arts, SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVESITY, KOREA Summer session 2020 Tradition and Innovation : Relief Printmaking in Korea Instructor: Jimin Lee [email protected] Students will study many aspects of both traditional and contemporary Relief (woodblock) printmaking, including both materials, tools, and techniques, and the issues, concepts and history of the field. Today’s landscape in the discipline of printmaking/print media, both in its message and its production, has rapidly changed from its roots in practical communication through traditional fine arts-based processes to current newer technology and theoretical debates. These new forms are shifting within global cultures at a rapid pace. Korea has its own unique, rich history and traditions that pave the way toward new technological developments while continuing to embrace and reinforce traditional artisan values and methodologies. This class will explore the history of printing technology, developed in Korea from the seventh through the fourteenth century A.D., and ranging from the world’s oldest printed text, The Great Dharani Sutra, to the latest cutting-edge technology, including laser cutting. Classes will include field trips to museums and galleries, hands-on workshops at a traditional Korean paper museum (hanji), and interactions with local visiting artists, master printmakers, papermakers and traditional artisans. Through various class activities, excursions, and cultural visits students will be exposed to diverse and multi-regional art practices that will broaden their perspectives and increase their understanding not only in the field of print media but in the larger contemporary visual culture. This program will help stimulate and inspire our UCSC art major students to prepare their artistic careers and advance their possibilities for study opportunities internationally.

  • Gwangdaejeon in Jeonju, an Innovative Strategy in Pansori Popularization
    EXPLORING A TRADITION IDENTITY: GWANGDAEJEON IN JEONJU, AN INNOVATIVE STRATEGY IN PANSORI POPULARIZATION A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSIC AUGUST 2017 By Hae In Lee Thesis Committee: Byong Won Lee, Chairperson Frederick Lau Young-A Park ABSTRACT Gwangdaejeon (Battle of the Clowns) was a local North Jeolla province television show that premiered in 2012 and ended in 2015, with later seasons being broadcast throughout Korea. This program’s motto was to revive the traditional pansori stage which thrived around Jeonju, the state capital of the North Jeolla province. The show was filmed in hanok (traditional Korean house) village, a historical recreation of a traditional house town in Jeonju. Gwangdaejeon was a competition for the master pansori singers, myeongchang. Gwangdaejeon follows the structure of reality popular song competition programs, which are already familiar to the public. These programs are categorized into two types: amateur and professional competitions. The former centers on auditions for novices who want to become stars, for example, Superstar K. The latter are competitions, such as I am a Singer, exclusively feature professional experts. Gwangdaejeon was similar to I am a Singer, but for myeongchang. This thesis explores the ways a television show contributes to the promotion of Korean traditional music. While Korean pop culture, such as K-pop and TV dramas, are gaining huge popularity all over the world, pansori, an example of Korean traditional vocal music, is disregarded by the majority of Koreans even though it has cultural value.
