    LIM OK SANG HEURK 林玉相 PREFACE Seoul Auction Hong Kong will be featuring a Lim Ok Sang’s exhibition entitled “One Stroke” as its second special exhibition this year. Lim Ok Sang is well-known as an artist who focuses on the voices of the common people and depicts the lives of the petit bourgeois not only as the lives of individuals but also as the representative of a major period in contemporary Korean history. Born in 1950, Lim has been a cultural icon in diverse genres (painting, sculpture, performance, etc.), engaging in political whistle-blowing and social criticism of the past half-century of dynamic contemporary South Korean history. This exhibition, based on an earth motif, will introduce some of Lim’s most recent works, made with soil and ink. Through this exhibition, Seoul Auction Hong Kong highlights soil as the source of life and the outcomes of its natural application to works of art. This exhibition provides an invaluable occasion through which Lim Ok Sang, a representative figure of Minjung art (an important genre in Korean art history), will be introduced to the international reception.

    MASARYKOVA UNIVERZITA Fakulta sociálních studií Media Ethics for Television Shows: A Comparative Study on Ethical Concerns over Television Shows in the Czech Republic and South Korea Etika médií a soup opery: komparativní studie českých a korejských televizních seriálů Diploma thesis Eva Kolovrátková Brno 2017 I declare that I have worked on this thesis independently, using only the primary and secondary sources listed in the bibliography. ……………………………. Brno, 5. 6. 2017 2 Abstract The master thesis examines the identity of Czech audience that in regular term consumes Korean drama (soap opera). South Korea is an epicenter of popular culture of Asia where Korean drama plays important role and is followed by millions of viewers worldwide. Some tried to explain this phenomenon and point at “Asian moral values” based on Confucian traditions, such as family-orientednes, respect for elders. While we can understand how this applies to Asian audience, this research is challenging the question: Why Czech audience watches Korean drama? The study subsequently aims to define and explain the hybridity and proximity of transcultural communication process of Czech audience of Korean drama. Fieldwork consists primarily of internet ethnographic approach, the participant observation combined with in-depth interviews. Keyword Korean drama, soap opera, South Korea, audience, popular culture, popular pleasure, Asia, Czech Republic, identity, television, internet ethnographic approach, in-depth interviews Anotace Diplomová práce zkoumá české publikum korejského dramatu (soap opery). Práce si klade za cíl zjistit, co vede české publikum ke konzumaci korejské soap opery, Dosavadní výzkumy v oblasti mediálních studií hovoří o tzv. „asijských morálních hodnotách“, které nalézají svůj základ v Konfuciově nauce - orientace na rodinu, respekt ke starším.

Our two countries are longtime friends and cultivate a similar passion for innovation, excellence and high quality products. Over the years, exchanges diversified and cooperation deepened. With the Free Trade Agreement entering into effect in 2006, trade increased dramatically, peaking at 4,3 billion USD in 2018. Over the last decade, scientific and cultural coopera- tion intensified and people to people contacts gained momentum. Constructing a state of the art new Embassy in the historic city center of Seoul constitutes an important investment in our bilateral relations. It is a tribute to South Korea's growing global significance. It is also a symbol of Switzerland's self-confidence – an open nation in a globalized world – and a testimony of our desire to further broaden and deepen cooperation with Korea. The rich program launched earlier this year continues in the second half. Thanks to our Swiss City Partner Zurich a series of exciting events will be organized in early October. Many other captivating events follow. I am looking very much forward to meet you and our old and new friends and partners from Korea and Switzerland!

  • Seoul City Guide
    Seoul City Guide Page | 1 Seoul Seoul (서울) is the capital of South Korea. With a population of over 10.5 million, Seoul is by far South Korea's largest city and one of East Asia's financial and cultural epicenters. Understand With over 10 million people, a figure that doubles if you include neighboring cities and suburbs, Seoul is the largest city in South Korea and unquestionably the economic, political and cultural hub of the country. By some measures it is the second largest urban agglomeration on the planet, after Greater Tokyo. Situated between Shanghai and Tokyo and bordered by the impenetrable Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north, the South Korean capital is sometimes overlooked by travelers. However, Seoul is an exciting location in its own right, not to mention cheaper than its rivals and incredibly safe. With beautiful palaces, great food and a shopping nightlife, Seoul is a frenetic way to experience the Asia of old and new. Historically there is evidence for settlement in this area as far as 18 BC but Seoul as the capital city of South Korea has a history back to the 14th century. Originally named Hanseong (한성; 漢城), the city was the capital of the Joseon Dynasty from 1392 to 1910, when Korea was occupied by the Japanese. The Joseon Dynasty built most of Seoul's most recognisable landmarks, including the Five Grand Palaces and Namdaemun. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the city was re-named to its current name, Seoul. Since the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, Seoul has been the capital of South Korea.
