We walked through this wonderfully in- tact old city and explored many medieval structures. We also were humbled as we toured Dachau and walked in the footsteps of so many vic- tims of the Nazi regime. The museum and monuments was a tearful reminder to never forget these dark moments in history and that we must work together toward a peaceful future. These experiences have been transformative.

  • Hybrid Korean Screen Cultures in the Mid-2000S Films a Bold Family (2005), Over the Border (2006), and Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005)
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 46.2 September 2020: 217-245 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.202009_46(2).0010 The North on Southern Screens: Hybrid Korean Screen Cultures in the Mid-2000s Films A Bold Family (2005), Over the Border (2006), and Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005) Bonnie Tilland East Asia International College Yonsei University Mirae Campus, Korea Abstract South Korean films that address North Korean themes have changed in the decades since South Korea’s democratization. Whereas films in the 1990s presented North Koreans as villains, by the 2000s most films took a more nuanced approach, presenting North Koreans as complex people with the potential to adapt in South Korean society. This paper analyzes three films from the mid-2000s dealing with North Korean issues (A Bold Family [2005], Over the Border [2006], and Welcome to Dongmakgol [2005]) in the context of the South Korean political landscape and North-South relations at the time. The paper argues that mid-2000s films represent a transitional point in the filmic depiction of North Koreans in South Korean film, opening up possibilities of hybridity in Korean identity. These films exhibit an almost ethnographic impulse to document everyday life, and as such contribute broadly to a visual anthropology of North-South Korean relations. Keywords South Korea, North Korea, film, family, visual anthropology 218 Concentric 46.2 September 2020 A grandfather on his death-bed watches home videos of Korean reunification on TV, and heals unexpectedly at the prospect of visiting his northern hometown .

  • Mapping the Presence of the Korean Wave in North Korea
    Research Note IQAS Vol. 48 / 2017 3–4, pp. 273–284 Mapping the Presence of the Korean Wave in North Korea Research Note Bianca Milanowitsch Abstract This research note scrutinises the degree to which the Korean Wave – South Korean cultural exports, for example of pop music and television shows – has impacted North Korea. Hallyu, as the Korean Wave is also called, has reached the North through illegal trade, despite restric- tions put in place by the regime, and has triggered a growing demand for South Korean produc- tions. The South Korean government creates a presence in its northern neighbour by using Hallyu as a soft power tool that has become part of its foreign policy arsenal. The North has reacted to the influence of the Korean Wave with crackdowns and arrests, for example of gov- ernment officials. Yet Hallyu may also serve the North Korean government’s aim of prolonging its authoritarian rule, by using the South Korean cultural presence as a justification for feeling threatened by foreign intervention. Keywords: North Korea, South Korea, soft power, Korean Wave, Hallyu, K-drama, K-pop 1. Introduction The Winter Olympics held last February in Pyeongchang, in which a total of 92 countries participated, propelled South Korea into the focus of internation- al media and sport fans alike. Although South Korea was the host country, North Korean participation in the event attracted as much attention as on previous occasions, for example when “[t]he two Koreas marched together under one flag at both the 2000 and 2004 Summer Games, as well as the 2006 Winter Games” (Calamur 2018).

    A BONG JOON HO FILM - INTERNATIONAL PRESS KIT - FILM INFORMATION English Title PARASITE Original Title GISAENGCHUNG Genre Drama Language Korean Country of Production Republic of Korea Director BONG Joon Ho Screenplay BONG Joon Ho, HAN Jin Won Cast SONG Kang Ho, LEE Sun Kyun, CHO Yeo Jeong, CHOI Woo Shik, PARK So Dam, LEE Jung Eun, CHANG Hyae Jin Presented by CJ Entertainment Production Barunson E&A World Sales CJ Entertainment Production Year 2019 Release Date May 2019 Running Time 131 min Aspect Ratio 2.35:1 Format 4K l Dolby Atmos INTRODUCTION The arrival of a new film from BONG Joon Ho is always an event, but the premiere of Parasite at Cannes is the cause for particularly strong anticipation. Having worked over the last decade on the expansive, internationally-set features Snowpiercer and Okja, BONG now returns to his home country for a film that is more focused in its setting, but perhaps even more ambitious in its execution. Consensus is building that Parasite represents not merely a new film, but the beginning of a new stage in BONG Joon Ho's accomplished career. BONG has taken care not to reveal too much ahead of the film's premiere, but in one sense, no advance knowledge could lessen the experience of watching Parasite for the first time. Completely unpredictable in its development, the film resists categorization and doesn't fit into any established genre. Its mix of black humor, social commentary, satire and suspense is characteristically BONG Joon Ho, and yet it's hard to find another film from his filmography – or from that of any other director – that quite resembles this work.
