As of November, the market share for Korean films in the domestic market stood at 55 percent, which indicates that the yearly market share of Korean films will be over 50 percent for the third year in a row. In the international arena as well, Korean films were invited to major international film festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastian and received a warm reception from critics and audiences. It is often said that the current prosperity of Korean cinema is due to the strong commitment and policies introduced by the KIM Dae-joong government in 1999 to promote Korean films.

Abstract The focus of this dissertation is to show how the media of contemporary Korean popular culture, specifically films, are transformed into “hybrid cultural forms” through the practice of genre transformation. Since the early 21st century, South Korean popular culture has been increasingly spreading across the globe. Despite its growing attention and popularity, Korean pop culture has been criticized for its explicit copying of Western culture with no unique cultural identity. Others view the success of Korean media, both its creative mimicry and its critique of the West, as a new hybrid form that offers the opportunity for reassertion of local identity as well as challenging the global hegemony of the West.

  • Translating Korean Humour
    KOREAN FILMS NIGHTS 2016 JUNE-OCTOBER HA HA HA translating korean humour KOREAN CULTURAL CENTRE UK INTRODUCTION Exploring the theme of the ‘Korean sense of humour’ which we began in January this year, Korean Film Nights will continue to present a series of exciting titles throughout the remaining half of 2016. We have selected 10 more films which both articulate a particular aspect of the Korean sense of humour as well as represent different approaches to creating comedic films. For those who are new to the film programmes organised by the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK), Korean Film Nights is our fortnightly free film screening event, which takes place on alternate Thursday evenings at the KCCUK. Ever since its modest beginning in 2008 our Korean Film Nights, working with both established and emerging filmmakers has showcased a wide spectrum of Korean films - from new blockbusters to well-known classics and everything in between. This in-house programme takes audiences on a cinematic journey throughout the year as we run up to the annual London Korean Film Festival which returns with its 11th edition this November. This year’s programme, entitled Ha Ha Ha: Translating Korean Humour, is based on the idea that, though some humour works universally, humour is more often than not local, playing frequently with cultural and linguistic nuances - whether referencing a specific socio- political situation, or making use of word-play or jokes. Though open to debate, British humour, for example, is widely associated with sarcasm and self-ridicule through a deadpan delivery. So what makes Korean humour distinct? In June, we begin with the film Hahaha from which this year’s programme of screenings has affectionately taken its title.

    Screening the Past: Historiography of Contemporary South Korean Cinema, 1998-2008 Young Eun Chae A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication Studies. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Joanne Hershfield Dr. Ken Hillis Dr. Lawrence Grossberg Dr. Mark Driscoll Dr. Guo-Juin Hong ©2011 Young Eun Chae ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Screening the Past: Historiography of Contemporary South Korean Cinema, 1998-2008 (Under the direction of Joanne Hershfield) This dissertation examines cinematic representations of history on contemporary South Korean screen and the practices of film historiography in South Korea during a decade of democratic regimes are the subjects of this study. Between 1998 and 2008, during two liberal presidencies, the Korean film industry flourished and some of the most critical and traumatic events in the past were re-visited and re-visioned in popular films. 2009 Lost Memories and Hanbando employ alternative re-writings of the past, present, and future to portray the experiences of Japanese colonial occupations. The Korean War is re-examined in a more ambiguous and critical light in Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War and Welcome to Dongmakgol, while Peppermint Candy and Splendid Vacation strive for capturing people‘s history, not an officially imposed version of History, in telling of the Gwangju Democratization Movement. As complex social constructions, the films analyzed in this dissertation reveal that South Koreans are finally able to ruminate on their past in a less simplistic and more complex manner without censorship.
