Korean Reunification 3p Tyranny of Superior 2p vol.17 June, 2013 Antiquaire English News Paper 1 Return of Sungnyemun The No. 1 national treasure of Korea, Sungnyemun had finished its restoration and reopened in May 4, 2013. The restoration work started in February 2008 and completed in April 2013. It took almost 5 years since Sungnyemun was burned. Do you know about the national treasures? The Korean government first named 116 items as the national treasures and gave them numbers in 1962. Currently, there are 315 national treasures. The No. 1 national treasure of Korea is Sungnyemun. It is also called as Namdaemun because it is located in the south of Seoul. But I think I have to use the word ‘was’ instead of ‘is’. Have you ever been to Sungnyemun? Sungnyemun was one of the gates in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, South Korea. The gateway of it which was pagoda-styled was located between Seoul Station and Seoul City Plaza. It was one of the three major gateways of Seoul city wall which is a stone circuit of 18.2 km long and 6.1 m high. Sungnyemun construction was first started by King Taejo of Joseon in 1398, and was rebuilt in 1447 during the year of King Politics Sejong the Great. But the wooden pagoda atop the gate was severely damaged by the arson in 2008 when an old Park Geun-Hye visits U.S. man set a fire on it due to a grudge against the government. Restoration work on Sungnyemun started in February 2010 and was completed in 29 April 2013. It officially Around the Globe reopened in 4 May 2013. It costed 25 billion won ($22.5 million) to restore Sungnyemun. As soon as the restoration Same-sex marriage "Anonymous" finished, all citizens shouted and cried out. Also, many events were held such as photo exhibitions of Sungnyemun. Margaret Thatcher President Park Geun-hye also celebrated the reopening of the ancient gate, saying it will mark the path to a new era. Despite we tried really hard to restore its own image, there were still some differences between first one and the Science restoration one and unfortunately, this fact made some people depressed. The most different feature between two is Animal testing Ultraviolet rays the color. The original one’s color was very elegant because the stones were old. In contrast, the new one’s color is Space development serial colorful and impressive. So some people were disappointed because they thought Sungnyemun lost its pureness. Also, the handwriting of the signboard was changed too. Actually, the original one’s signboard was written by Prince Sports Yangnyeong (1394-1462), who was an elder brother of King Sejong of Joseon dynasty. However, as the unfortunate Top 10 soccer stars accident occurred, it was rewritten with a different hand. Except these ones, there are still many different things Retirement of Ferguson between the original one and the new one, such as roof tiles, emergency equipments and management authorities. Twisted Games Through the accident which the Sungnyemun was burned, people learned lots of lessons. First, we realized that we Entertainment should protect our treasures with higher level of security system. Surprisingly, there was only 1 person who protects Psy’s Gentleman Sungnyemun these days. Even though there are about 2 million visitors there, we only have one protector. Actually, Cho Yong-Pil this news was really shocking and surprising. Also, it gave us a lesson that we should protect our properties much more. Second, we realized that we should be attention to our history. Actually, I think the lack of our attention was the Book Recommendation main reason why the accident was occurred. If we had lack of attention in Sungnyemun, we could notice out that The View From Saturday someone was going to burn Sungnyemun. If we had more attention, we could have prevented the accident. Lastly, Hatchet we could learn the importance of our treasure. We realized the importance of our culture and learned how it is hard to My Hometown restore the national treasure.

    Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Japan-Korea Relations: Treading Water, Little Progress David Kang, Dartmouth College Ji-Young Lee, Georgetown University Although progress was made in resolving the Banco Delta Asia dispute between North Korea and the United States, and international inspectors were invited back into North Korea in June, relations between Japan and North Korea remain deadlocked, with no apparent progress or even political will to address the deep issues that divide them. Seoul and Tokyo made little progress on their history issues. However, the meeting of the foreign ministers of China, Japan, and South Korea this quarter was a positive step, and with elections coming up in Japan and South Korea, the prospect of further foreign policy changes appears likely. Japan-North Korea relations: not very good This quarter saw little movement in the stalemate between Japan and North Korea, as neither Tokyo nor Pyongyang has shown any political will to move forward toward normalizing their bilateral diplomatic relations or addressing the issues between them. North Korea announced that it saw no prospect for better relations between the two nations under the current government unless Japan changed its attitude toward key bilateral disputes. The centrality of the abduction issue in Japanese foreign policy and high political value that Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has placed on the abductions meant that Japan could not readily welcome the progress made in the Six-Party Talks. Like past quarter, Japan continued its unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang, even as its diplomatic efforts to link progress on the abduction issue with progress in stopping the North’s nuclear program gained little support from other parties in the negotiations.

    The Role of King Sejong in Establishing the Confucian Ritual Code

    The Role of King Sejong in Establishing the Confucian Ritual Code Kang Sook Ja This paper reviews the political leadership of King Sejong the Great in the process of establishing ritual codes such as the Five Ritual Codes for royal families and Zhu Xi Ceremonial Occasions (朱子家禮). A Confucian nation is the place where a benevolent king of virtue governs a country according to Confucian principles. Among the Five Ritual Codes for royal families, gilye (吉禮, worship for heaven, earth, famous mountains, and long rivers in the country) is the most important rite as an agricultural society. However, worship for heaven should be solely conducted by the emperor according to the Confucian ritual code, Record of Rites (�記). Therefore, King Sejong has replaced worship for heaven by worship for goddess of earth and crops (社稷, sajik) in praying for rain. Binrye (賓禮) is a rite in foreign diplomatic policy and ritual ceremony in hosting diplomatic delegates. The Joseon dynasty also sent tributes to China to show due respect as a stronger nation. In military rites (軍禮), practicing military arts (講武, gangmu) was conducted twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn in the form of hunting. However, practicing military arts also disturbed the agricultural produce from farmers to a in the countryside. King Sejong temporarily reduced the scale and numbers concern- ing practicing of military arts so as to mitigate the pains of farmers during the season. Chigangnyeong (吹角令) is an order that organizes military personnel in an emergency. While Chigangnyeong was misused sometimes, a lot of peo- ple were uncomfortable and afraid of being implicated in treachery.

    Joongang Daily Newspaper, November 6, 2013 South Koreans to “Study Abroad” in South Korea

    Joongang Daily Newspaper, November 6, 2013 South Koreans to “Study Abroad” in South Korea Hot potato, Pie in the sky, Sour grapes.... International school is the place that can be explained with these clichés. The establishment of Chadwick International in Songdo in 2010, the first foreign educational institution in the metropolitan area, and the subsequent foundation of NLCS Jeju, KIS Jeju, and BHA in Jeju English Education City in 2011 and 2012 caused international schools to become “hot potatoes”, drawing attention and raising controversies among people. These schools were opened to replace the demand for studying abroad, but they were just 'pies in the sky' for most parents due to their expensive tuition and constraints due to their location, and ‘sour grapes’ for many Gangnam mothers as entering kids on those schools without any proof made them feel nervous. I glimpsed over on international schools. What I had gained and lost in Songdo or in Jeju International school is a place where parents can educate their children with the U.S. private school or the U.K. public school system in Korea without sending their kids abroad. All Korean students are allowed to study in international schools, unlike foreign schools that require 3 years or more of residence in a foreign country. However, the annual tuition fee is as high as 50 million won. In addition, none of them is located in Seoul, meaning that students would face long commute to school or the family should move in near the school. The oldest school is Chadwick International opened in 2010, implying that international schools have not been verified in many aspects.
