It is understood children are taken out of school and can spend up to 10 hours per day hammering away at metal rails. And it has also been claimed some of the them are as young as five, raising more questions about human rights abuses in the country. The footage, obtained by the Daily Mirror, was allegedly recorded using hidden cameras by undercover informers over the past year. Children are seen working on railway construction near Rimpo Station in the Chagang Province in the north of the country. Michael Glendinning, who works for humanitarian organisation the European Alliance of Human Rights in North Korea, told the Mirror the footage was ‘startling’ and described child labour as one of the ‘worst abuses the North Korean state inflicts’. He added: ‘Millions of North Korean children are forced to work in back-breaking roles that rob them of the chance of a happy childhood. “The impact of the work on their physical development, their physical and mental health, and on their education can’t be understated.’ Mr Glendinning said the psychological harm the ‘labour’ would cause to the children was just as terrible as the physical damage it could do. But in another section of the footage, children at elite schools are seen smiling and taking part in exercises set to music, while parents watch from the school gates. According to the Global Slavery Index 2016, around 1.1million North Koreans are currently involved in forced labour, almost five per cent of the 25million population. The country is led by dictator Kim Jong-un, who allegedly recently ordered military chiefs to stay up all night writing apologies for their failures after getting drunk at his holiday villa. The communist dictator is said to have got boozed up in September when he ordered elderly soldiers to put pen to paper detailing their weaknesses or an apology. A source said Kim raged at the military officials and told them to stay up all night to write up their statements, but appeared confused as to why they were there when he woke up the next morning. Meanwhile fears are growing in the international community after a senior US military official warned North Korea was capable of launching nuclear weapons - although could not confirm whether they could hit a target. The secretive state can mount a nuclear warhead on a missile, the official stated, but may not be able to get the weapon back through the atmosphere without it burning up. The unnamed official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Pyongyang is trying to overcome this limitation, and branded leader Kim Jong-un's behaviour branded 'very, very provocative'. North Korea missile test article.wn.com 2016-12-14 21:38 Joseph Curtis www.dailymail.co.uk 3 /11 1.7 South Korea's powerful business lobby group dealt big blow by Park scandal (1.02/5) By Christine Kim SEOUL, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Long the voice of the conglomerates that form the engine of South Korea's economy, the Federation of Korean Industries could become another casualty of the scandal that is poised to cost President Park Geun-hye her job, as key members flee. The FKI, whose board is made up of the chiefs of the country's conglomerates, or chaebol, has been the nexus for close ties between government and big business. It formed the two non-profit foundations, Mir and K- Sports, backing Park initiatives that are central to the current political crisis. Prosecutors have charged Park's friend Choi Soon-sil with colluding with the president into pressuring conglomerates such as the Samsung Group to pay funds to the foundations. Last week, Jay Y. Lee, scion of the Samsung Group, the FKI's largest member, said it will leave the group, prompting others including the LG Group, SK Group and state-run banks including the Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) and Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) to follow suit, raising questions over whether the group can survive in its current form. "We're leaving because abandoning the FKI won't change anything for us," an IBK official said, declining to be identified because the matter is sensitive. An FKI official declined to comment on its future plans.

  • Between Fantasy and Realism Gender, Identification and Desire Among Korean Viewers of Second-Wave Korean Dramas
    European Journal European Journal of of East Asian Studies (2020) 1–25 East Asian Studies brill.com/ejea Between Fantasy and Realism Gender, Identification and Desire among Korean Viewers of Second-Wave Korean Dramas Jean-Paul Baldacchino | orcid: 0000-0001-7673-5001 University of Malta, Msida, Malta [email protected] Eun-Jee Park | orcid: 0000-0001-9098-3108 Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea [email protected] Abstract English-language studies of Korean drama (Korean tv serials) have tended to focus on the transnational consumption of drama in the context of the ‘Korean Wave’ (Hallyu). Analysing the classification and reception of Korean drama and its inter- action with Korean audiences, this paper argues that there has been a significant shift both in the dramas produced and in the audience expectations and interactions with these texts. Building on twenty-one in-depth interviews and ethnographic data, the authors analyse the gendered structures of identification with the characters of dramas. Korean dramas are increasingly held to a standard of realism wherein audi- ences expect them to represent ‘reality’ rather than a fantastical escape from it. The authors argue, therefore, that dramas are also fulfilling a social function in being able to represent and generate dialogue over social problems in contemporary Korean society.

  • Global Imagination and the Production of Locality Among Korean Americans in Philadelphia
    THE RISE OF THE KOREAN WAVE IN THE UNITED STATES: GLOBAL IMAGINATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF LOCALITY AMONG KOREAN AMERICANS IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by HaeLim Suh August 2018 Examining Committee Members: Thomas Jacobson, Advisory Co-Chair, Department of Media Studies and Production Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Co-Chair, Department of Journalism Patrick Murphy, Department of Media Studies and Production DongSook Park, External Member, Ewha Womans University © Copyright 2018 by HaeLim Suh All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation illustrates the cultural dimension of globalization by examining how the ascendance of South Korean popular culture, i.e., the Korean Wave, reshapes the global imagination and transforms the locality of Korean Americans in Philadelphia. As an ethnographic global media study, I conducted in-depth interviews and participated in Korean cultural events/meetings, as well as visited the sites of living for Korean Americans in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. My research finds that advances in the digitalized media environment made my informants consume copious transnational Korean media every day and individualized their media consumption. Accordingly, their perceptions of Korea/Asia/U.S.’s places in the world are complicated and their ethnic identity has become significant. Their global imaginations also intersect with negotiating gender roles, perceiving attractiveness, and planning future paths. This shift contributes to construction of the in- between identities of Korean Americans by denaturalizing ideas and cultural elements in both Korea and the U.S. Most distinctively, the rise of the Korean Wave stimulates global imagination among young second generation Korean Americans to aspire to and operate their agency in a transnational context that their parents’ generation barely anticipated.
