Big Day South audiovisual festival revives in Daegu
Big Day South audiovisual festival revives in Daegu
Big Day South (BDS), a somewhat nomadic festival spotlighting musicians and artists in locales far south of Seoul, is back after taking last year off, this time coming to Daegu. “The easiest reason [for why it's in Daegu] is that it's where I'm living right now, and where I have some great people who are willing to work together,” said Philip Brett, an Irish expat who cofound...

[RAS Korea] Ganghwa Island: Cultural heritage spot, defender of Seoul
Northwest of Seoul, Ganghwa Island occupies a strategic place in the Han River estuary. For centuries, the island has been a haven for the royals of both the Goryeo and Joseon kingdoms, to which they would retreat in times of war. A Goryeo palace was built in the 1200s, where the king lived in self-exile for several decades. In modern times, Ganghwa Island has been an idyllic...

Farewell Peter Bartholomew, defender of Korea's heritage
Sometime in the middle of the night of May 11 or 12, Peter Bartholomew's 53-year-long sojourn in Korea ended with his sudden, unexpected death. Known for his passionate defense of traditional Korean houses, or hanok, his deep appreciation for Korean history and culture, his relationship with Korea's royal family and his business success, he often appeared on television, in ne...

[Friends of Korea] Witnessing Gwangju's 1980 democratic uprising
May 18, 1980, started like most Sundays with the peal of church bells dominating the clucks of thousands of chickens enriching my village with their prolific egg production. As with four other of my Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV) colleagues who ended up in Gwangju during the May 18 democratic uprising (referred to as 5.18), the quiet start to the day did not prepare me for the u...

[Joseon Images] Children of early modern Korea
There are certain times of the year that even the most mischievous child becomes well-behaved. For many Western children, it is the weeks leading up to Christmas; for Korean children it may be the weeks leading up to Children's Day on May 5. Although Bang Jeong-hwan is credited as the creator of this holiday in the 1920s, Children's Day's origin appears to go back much earlie...

Migrant groups say temporary stay permits for undocumented children 'ineffective'
A policy introduced by the Ministry of Justice to give undocumented migrant children legal status and allow them to have temporary residency rights, may not be helpful for those in need, according to local migrants' rights groups. Currently, children without legal immigrant status are allowed to stay in the country until they finish high school, after which they face deportat...

[Cityscapes] Exploring beneath Gwanghwamun's surface
[Cityscapes] Exploring beneath Gwanghwamun's surface
A lot of people went nuts a few weeks back, when pictures distributed in the media showed an ancient stream unearthed in downtown Seoul as part of the Gwanghwamun renovation project.
