LÜGNER ODER ERZÄHLER? Gespräch Mit Dem Autor Kim Young-Ha in Berlin KULTUR KOREA ausgabe 1 / 2016 LÜGNER ODER ERZÄHLER? Gespräch mit dem Autor Kim Young-ha in Berlin KAFFEEKLATSCH IN SEOUL Über den Deutschen Club Seoul GESCHICHTE DER VORGETÄUSCHTEN UNSCHULD Eine Ausstellung von Kim Hyun Jung Coverbild: Vorgetäuschte Unschuld: du bewegst mich, 2013 von Kim Hyun Jung 86 x 61 cm © 김현정 All rights reserved EDITORIAL Impression von der Ausstellung Quiet Stare von Yook Keun Byung Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Sommerzeit ist Reisezeit. Neben Sonnencreme und Badeanzug gehört für viele auch die richtige Reiselektüre in den Koffer. Wie wäre es beispielsweise mit einem Kriminalroman? „Sieben Jahre Nacht“ von Jeong Yu-jeong fesselt den Leser von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite mit einer ungewöhnlichen Kriminalgeschichte vor der Kulisse eines gespenstischen Stausees in einer entlege- nen Region Koreas. Oder mit einem finsteren Familiengeheimnis in dem Roman „Das verborgene Leben der Pflanzen“ von Lee Sung-U, den der Autor im März in der deutschen Hauptstadt vorstellte? Auch lernen Sie den erfolgreichsten koreanischen Schrift- steller seiner Generation, Kim Young-ha, kennen, der kürzlich im Literaturhaus Berlin über seine Arbeit gesprochen hat. Sein Roman „Schwarze Blume“ beispielsweise behandelt das wenig bekannte Thema der koreanischen Auswanderung nach Mexiko. Aber nicht jeder möchte seinen Urlaub mit Lesen zubringen. Die Aktivurlauber unter Ihnen würden wir gern zu einer Fahrradtour durch Korea anregen. Und wer statt Asphalt das Wasser bevorzugt, erfährt in „Raus und ab ins kühle Nass!“, wie und wo in Korea Abkühlung von der Sommerhitze zu finden ist. Wie lebt es sich als deutscher Expat in der Millionenmetropole Seoul? Wir stellen den Deutschen Club Seoul vor und berichten über ein Stück Heimat in der Fremde – von Kaffeeklatsch bis Abfahrtsskilauf. Falls Sie auf den Alltag in der südkoreanischen Met- ropole neugierig sind, können Sie sich über eine typische koreanische Wohnform oder über die Vorzüge des Seouler U-Bahn-Sys- tems informieren. Welche Rolle spielt der Islam im heutigen Korea? In dem Artikel „Der Halbmond über Itaewon“ lesen Sie, wie sich das alltägliche Nebeneinander der Religionen gestaltet. Und wenn Sie wissen möchten, wem die Modernisierung des Leipziger Hauptbahnhofs zu verdanken ist, werden Sie Näheres in dem Gespräch mit dem Architekten Prof. Duk-Kyu Ryang erfahren. Oder hätten Sie viel- leicht Lust auf etwas Süßes? Chi-Young Bang fertigt broschenähnliche biscuits in Paris. Darüber hinaus werfen wir noch einmal einen Blick zurück auf unterschiedlichste Kulturveranstaltungen, die im vergangenen halben Jahr vom Koreanischen Kulturzentrum durchgeführt wurden. Vor Kurzem ist die Ausstellung der jungen koreanischen Künstlerin Kim Hyun Jung zu Ende gegangen. Sie gilt als Shootingstar der Szene für traditionelle koreanische Malerei und hat mit ihren ungewöhnlichen Arbeiten - wie dem Titelbild dieser Ausgabe - für ein Revival des Genres gesorgt. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen schönen Sommer und wie immer viel Freude beim Lesen!

  • South Korea Section 3
    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • The Republic of Korea: a Defence and Security Primer
    Today, the Republic of Korea (ROK) is a global economic and Primer Security and A Defence Korea: of The Republic industrial powerhouse and is identified as a world leader in ship- building, motor manufacturing and information technology. South Korea has also developed into a vibrant democracy. Despite all its successes the country remains locked in a deadly stand-off with its northern neighbour. Almost 60 years after the end of the Korean War, issues concerning defence and security remain of pri- mary societal and political importance in South Korea. This report attempts to summarise the ROK’s defence and security sectors. In four chapters the report addresses security policy and politics, defence reform, defence industry and R&D. Main findings in the report are that South Korea’s defence and security sector is in a period of general transition and change. Threat perceptions and the fragility of security on the Korean Peninsula have intensified over the past few years. Political reconsiderations of South Korea’s security and defence policies have raised contentions over the direction of its defence reform process, and how it will be implemented. South Korea’s defence industrial and R&D sector is actively seeking increased independence and profitability. It is however limited in how it can pursue these structural changes. This volume is published as part of the Asia Security Studies programme.

  • 1. Pioneer Protestant Missionaries in Korea Seoul/1887 William Elliot Griffis Collection, Rutgers University
    1. Pioneer Protestant Missionaries in Korea Seoul/1887 William Elliot Griffis Collection, Rutgers University This rare early photograph includes several of the most prominent pioneer American Presbyterian and Methodist missionary families just a year or two after their arrival in Korea. At the far left in the top row is John W. Heron, the first appointed Presbyterian medical doctor who died of dysentery in 1890, only five years after his arrival in Korea as a missionary. In the middle of the same row is Henry G. Appenzeller, the pioneer Methodist missionary educator who established the first Western-style school in Korea known as the Paejae Academy. At the far right is William B. Scranton, the pioneer Methodist medical missionary who perhaps is most remembered today for having brought his mother to Korea. In the middle row at the far left is Mrs. John “Hattie” Herron, who in 1892 became Mrs. James S. Gale following her husbandʼs untimely death. To the right are Mrs. Henry Ella Dodge Appenzeller, Mrs. William B. Scranton, and the indomitable Mrs. Mary F. Scranton, the mother of William B. Scranton, who founded the school for girls that developed into Ewha University. In the bottom row (l–r) are Annie Ellers—a Presbyterian missionary nurse who later transferred to the Methodist Mission following her marriage to Dalzell A. Bunker—Horace G. Underwood, the first ordained Presbyterian missionary in Korea who is most prominently remembered as the founder of the predecessor to Yonsei University, and (probably) Lousia S. Rothwilder, who worked with Mrs. Mary F. Scranton at Ewha and succeeded her as principal.
