Korearsquos hosting the G-20 summit could beas momentous as the rsquo88 Seoul Olympics

signifies that Korea has finally and completely steered itself away from the periphery of Asiato the center of the worldrdquo the president said

Following the speech a brief question-and-answer session was arranged with Cheong WaDae correspondents and foreign journalistswhich was also broadcast live

During the conference Lee stressed that hisgovernment would make efforts to persuadethe North to give up its nuclear arms instead of relying on the policies of larger powers

ldquoUntil now Korea just followed others andwas passive in international society and did nothave a sayrdquo Lee said ldquoNow we are a member of the G-20 We will be the chair nation and thehost next year and the world will treat us dif-

ferently It will no longer be possible to discussa global iss ue without including Koreardquo

A senior Lee administration official saidKorearsquos hosting of the G-20 in November nextyear would be a breakthrough in the countryrsquosdiplomatic history

ldquoLeersquos leadership in past G-20 summits inWashington and London has been widely praisedrdquo the official said ldquoThe president madeclear his position against trade protectionisminitiating lsquostandstillrsquo pledges among the par-ticipants at the Washington G-20 summit notto erect any new trade and investment barriers

This has been seen as one of the most signifi-cant achievements of the forumrdquo

Shortly after the Washington summit lastyear South Korea launched aggressive effortsto host a G-20 summit Lee ordered a task forceto be established and appointed Sakong Il thenhis special economic advisor to head the G-20Summit Coordinating Committee

Sakong traveled around the world as Leersquosenvoy to persuade major G-20 nations in clud-ing the United States Britain France Germa-ny China and Japan to support Korearsquos bid andthe 10 months of passionate diplomacy paidoff

ldquoThis is not [an unexpected] windfallrdquo asenior South Korean official added noting t hat

US President Barack Obama was the mostsupportive of Korearsquos bid At the London sum-mit in April Obama suggested that Koreashould host the 2010 summit and the proposalwas widely endorsed by G-20 members heexplained

Marcus Noland deputy director and seniorfellow at the Washington-based Peterson Insti-tute for International Economics told mediathat Korearsquos hosting the summit next year willbe an opportunity akin to the Seoul Olympicsin 1988

ldquo[This] is an opportunity for Korea to dem-


Following an agreement between leadersof the worldrsquos major economies to insti-tutionalize the Group of 20 as a perma-nent council on global economic coop-

eration Korea was selected to host a summit inNovember next year

The leaders of the worldrsquos 20 largest econo-mies will meet in Canada in June and Korea inNovember for economic policy coordinationPresident Lee Myung-bak and Canadian PrimeMinister Stephen Harper announced in a jointpress conference in Pittsburgh the UnitedStates broadcast live on Sept 25

ldquoFirst let me informour citizens that it wasdecided to hold the 2010G-20 summit in Korea inNovemberrdquo the Korean

president said at the press conference addinghat the decision passed unanimously Canada

will host the fourth G-20 meeting in June onhe sidelines of the G-8 summit there The June

summit will be co-hosted and co-chaired by Korea Harper said

G-20 leaders will gather once a year for aroutine summit starting in 2011 In the interimyear of 2010 Canada and South Korea will hostwo rounds in June and November respec-ively Korea assumes the forum chair next

yearThe Group of 20 Finance Ministers and

Central Bank Governors mdash known as t he G-20for short mdash was created in response to thefinancial crisis of the late 1990s and to growingrecognition that emerging economies were notadequately included in the core of global eco-nomic discussions and governance

The first heads-of-government-level G-20financial summit took place in Washington inNovember 2008 to address the aftermath of thefinancial meltdowns that hit the world earlierhat year Another round of meetings took

place in London and the September meeting in

Pittsburgh was the third of its kindDuring the latest meeting the leaders

agreed to transform the forum into the worldrsquosmain body for coordinating economic policyThe G-20 economies comprise 85 percent of he gross world product 80 percent of worldrade and two-thirds of the world population

With this decision the G-20 will replace theexisting Group of Eight the forum of industri-alized nations that long dominated the worldeconomy The shift from G-8 to G-20 is alsodesigned to reflect the changing global econo-my and emerging countries such as China

India and Brazil as well as KorealdquoToday leaders endorsed the G-20 as the

premier forum for international economiccooperationrdquo the White House said in a state-ment ldquoThis decision brings to the table thecountries needed to build a stronger more bal-anced global economy reform the financialsystem and lift the lives of the p oorestrdquo

Upon returning home President Leearranged a special press conference and encour-aged Koreans to view their country as a centralmember of the global order In a media eventtelevised live around the nation on Sept 30 Leedisclosed a vision for a greater Korea

Noting that Korearsquos hosting of the Group of 20 Summit in November next year would be anopportunity to upgrade the countryrsquos positionin the global community Lee said Koreansmust work together to improve the nationrsquos sta-tus

In the special speech tit led ldquoParadigm shiftfor moving toward center stage from the

periphery of the international arenardquo Lee saidKoreans were about to begin a new era in theirhistory

Lee did not hide his excitement over thedecision to locate the G-20 Summit i n Novem-ber 2010 in Korea The president said that asmany of his foreign counterparts congratulatedhim he was proud to be leader of Korea

ldquoI am standing here today because I want totalk about the fact that Koreans are great andthat the world is now rec ognizing that factrdquo Leesaid He added that Koreans have made tre-mendous accomplishments over the past cen-tury

ldquoSignificantly our hosting of the G-20 sum-mit falls during the year marking the 100th

anniversary of the forced annexation of Koreaby imperial Japan I am filled with mixed feel-ingsrdquo he said ldquoDuring the past century we suf-fered the pain of watching our destiny fall intothe hands of world powers because we were tooweak

ldquoKorea has now however become one of the leading players in the international com-munity recognized by advanced countriesrdquo

Lee said it was especially significant forKorea to host the summit right after it hadbecome the center of economic policy makingldquoThe projected hosting of the summit basically

onstrate its strengths to the rest of the worldand that can only have a positive impact onKorearsquos economy in the long runrdquo Nolandsaid

The scholar attributed Korearsquos successfulbid to the hard work of the Lee administrationand the growing stature of the Korean econo-my Korea has experienced the worldrsquos fastestrecovery and has taken a leading role in s ettingan agenda that includes green developmentand anti-protectionism

ldquoDiplomatically Korearsquos hosting of the G-20next year is a big dealrdquo he said ldquoKorean policy makers are considered highly capable and therest of the world is looking for good things tocome out of the summit t hat Korea will hostrdquo

Korearsquos five influential business organiza-ions also hailed the hosting of the summit

ldquoThe selection of South Korea as a venue for theG-20 summit next year means the nationrsquos roles rapidly expanding in the international com-

munityrdquo the business groups said in a jointstatement ldquoIt was one of the greatest achieve-ments for the nationrsquos diplomatic historyrdquo

The business groups included the Federa-ion of Korean Industries and the Korea Cham-

ber of Commerce and Industr yNext yearrsquos G-20 summit schedules are also

arranged in order to make optimal use of ascarce resource the global leadersrsquo time InJune Canada was scheduled to host the G-8summit and hosting the G-20 within the sametime frame is expected to significantly curtailthe amount of travel world leaders have toundertake

In November Japan also hosts the APECsummit and Korearsquos hosting of the G-20 in thesame month will serve the busy schedules of state heads best By Kim Soo-ae

President Lee Myung-bak has proposed a ldquogrand bar-gainrdquo in which North Korea will swap dismantlementof core parts of its nuclear arms programs for secu-

rity assurances and international economic aid and theplan has won global support including that of the UnitedStates and Japan Cheong Wa Dae said

The proposal was made during Leersquos recent trip to theUnited States in a speech at the US Council on ForeignRelations in New York on Sept 21 Lee said it was time tostop rewarding the North for bad behavior and a grand

bargain must be pushed forward by Seoul WashingtonBeijing Tokyo and Moscow The five nations must consulteach other clearly agree on the final route to disarmingPyongyang and create an action plan Lee said

ldquoWe need an integrated approach to fundamentally resolve the North Korea nuclear issuerdquo Lee said ldquoThroughthe six-nation talks we need to push forward a lsquograndbargainrsquo to dismantle the core parts of the Northrsquos nucleararms programs and at the same time to provide security assurances and international assistance to the Northrdquo

Lee said his government has already consulted with theUnited States about the plan Cheong Wa Dae officials

later said China Russia and Japan also supported LeeDuring his visit to Seoul on Oct 9 Japanese Prime

Minister Yukio Hatoyama made public his backing forLeersquos ldquogrand bargainrdquo During the South Korea-China-Japan summit in Beijing on Oct 10 Lee sought Chinarsquossupport for his proposal and the three nations agreed tocooperate to bring the North back to the stalled talks

A Lee aide explained the proposal seeks to seal an over-all deal because past step-by-step approaches have proveninefficient The official also said the previous ldquocomprehen-

sive package dealrdquo was more focused on what to give theNorth while Leersquos proposal is based on reciprocity

ldquoFive countries of the six-nation talks except for theNorth have reached a consensus on the overall deal andwe are currently discussing the specifics of the negotia-tions with the Northrdquo he added

During his New York speech Lee stressed the Northmust not feel the process is a threat to its regime ldquoBy givingup its nuclear programs the North will be able to form newrelationships with the United States and the internationalcommunity and that will be the only path for the Northrsquossurvival and developmentrdquo Lee said By Kim Soo-ae

Lee Grand Bargain Is lsquoOnly Pathrsquo for North

Last monthrsquos meeting of G-20 politicalleaders in Pittsburgh was cause for bothoptimism and responsibility to sustainearly signs of a global recovery Follow-

up measures of the summit will fall primarily on Korea as the chair an d host of a G-20 meet-ing in 2010

This development will mark a significantturning point in global governance as Koreawill be the first non-G8 country to hold thoseresponsibilities since the G-20 emerged as a

venue for addressing global financial issues Italso places the burden of proof on Korea toshow that an expanded forum beyond the G8

can provide effective global leadershipKorea championed global coordination to

promote a macroeconomic stimulus that willprovide $5 trillion for the next two years andpromoted $11 trillion through internationalfinancial institutions to counteract the effectsof the global financial crisis on developingcountries Korea has also stood against pro-tectionist tendencies sponsoring ldquostandstillrdquoand ldquorollbackrdquo pledges among G-20 countriesas G-20 Summit Coordinating CommitteeChairman Sakong Il explained in the Centerfor US-Korea Policyrsquos May newsletter

As a former CEO Korean President Lee

Myung-bak is well-qualified to promote mea-sures for an early exit from the crisis UnderLeersquos leadership Korearsquos own efforts to pro-mote economic recovery are strongly in linewith those of the Obama administration in nosmall part because Lee conceives of US-Koreaeconomic coordination as an opportunity toexpand the two countriesrsquo alliance

In his speech to the Council on ForeignRelations in New York Lee emphasized thathe and President Obama have ldquoagreed thatthis alliance wil l no longer just be about ensur-ing securityrdquo but ldquoa comprehensive strategic

alliance that encompasses economic socialcultural educational scientific and techno-logical cooperationrdquo This suggests that Leeconceives the success of South Korearsquos G20leadership as directly tied to expanded alli-ance coordination with the United States andit suggests that such coordination has a raison

drsquoecirctre that extends far beyond deterring NorthKorea

Another component of Leersquos agenda withthe United States is the pending Korea-USFree Trade Agreement which has been stalleddue to provisions that deal with the politically sensitive auto sector As the International

Institute for StrategicStudie s rsquo Ste ve nSchrage has arguedKorearsquos successfulstewardship of theG-20 and Congressio-nal ratification of the

KORUS FTA should go hand-in-hand ulti-mately to enhance the US-Korea strategiclead on global economic issues

Korearsquos great challenge and opportunity isto show that the G-20 can remain effectiveeven as the crisis subsides and to ensure thatthis is not a ldquocrisis wastedrdquo

Mo Jong-ryn of Yonsei University arguesthat the rise of the G-20 mdash and South Korearsquosassumption of leadership in it mdash is an oppor-tunity to redress Asiarsquos past underrepresenta-tion and its economic weight in the interna-tional community But such an opportunity will be wasted unless Asians themselves deliv-

er in providing a distinctive and effectiveagenda

Korea must infuse its G-20 chairmanshipwith effective leadership if the group is tocement its role as the main venue for expand-ed economic coordination Korearsquos handlingof its G-20 chairmanship is a make or break opportunity on many different levels Thecountry needs to show that it can live up to thetask by catalyzing global coordination of exitstrategies from the crisis and by addressingglobal imbalances between developing andindustrialized countries By Scott Snyder

Chinarsquos Xinhua News Agency report-ed last week that Kim Jong-il had informed

Wen that North Korea was ldquowilling toattend multilateral talks including the six-party talksrdquo depending on the progress inanticipated discussions with the UnitedStates

The first freestanding summit betweenhe Northeast Asian neighbors was heldast December in Fukuoka Japan whilehe first-ever three-way talks between the

nations were held in 1999 on the sidelinesof an ASEAN summit

ldquoWe will make joint efforts with otherparties for an early resumption of the six-party talks so as to safeguard peace andstability in Northeast Asia and thereby build an Asia of peace harmony opennessand prosperityrdquo the statement read

Lee said at the joint press conferenceldquoNow is a good time for North Korea togive up its nuclear ambitions and therewill be good results if we can offer a pro-posal for a one-step solution of the nuclear

issue and conditions for such a dealrdquo NorthKorea walked away from the talks aimedat ending its nuclear ambitions last Decem-ber and said in April that the six-nationtalks between the two Koreas ChinaJapan the United States and Russia wereno longer viable

The three leaders whose countries

accounted for 16 percent of the gross worldproduct last year vowed at the summit topursue the ldquogrand bargainrdquo proposal thatLee made in the United States in Septem-ber Under the plan North Korea woulddismantle the key parts of its nuclear armsprogram in exchange for security assur-ances and aid the end of sanctions andtension sparked by the nuclear test inMay

ldquoImpending issues [for Japan] not only include North Korearsquos nuclear weaponsand missiles but also the abduction [of Japanese by the North]rdquo said Hatoyamawho took office last month ldquoJapan intendsto resolve those issues comprehensivelyand this is certainly related to Leersquos grandbargainrdquo

climate change financial risks energy security public health natural disastersterrorism arms control disarmament andnon-proliferation and UN reformrdquo theirstatement read

vowed to cooperate for the success of thefifth G-20 summit to be hosted by Koreain November 2010

The visit by Japanrsquos new prime ministeris significant because he chose Korea as hisfirst overseas travel destination for a bilat-eral summit ldquoThis means the Hatoyamaadministration attaches great importanceto Korea-Japan tiesrdquo a statement issued by Cheong Wa Dae read

Lee and Hatoyama had met in Koreain June when Hatoyama was leader of theJapanese opposition Democratic Party butnot yet prime minister On Sept 23 thetwo also held a bilateral summit in NewYork on the sidelines of the United NationsGeneral Assembly

Following their summit in Seoul Leeand Hatoyama held a joint press confer-ence and made public their strengthenedcooperation in resolving the North Koreanuclear crisis promoting a one-step solu-tion to end the pattern of rewarding thecommunist regime for bad behavior

ldquoWe agreed that a fundamental changein North Korearsquos attitude is crucial toresolve the nuclear crisisrdquo Lee said ldquoTofacilitate the change we agreed to imple-ment the UN Security Council resolutionwhile leaving the door for dialogue openand continuing diplomatic efforts to per-suade the North to return to the six-nationtalksrdquo

Lee also said he and Hatoyama agreedto consult closely with China Russia and

the United States to advance his ldquograndbargainrdquo proposal

Hatoyama backed Leersquos proposal ldquoIthink the presidentrsquos grand bargain plan isprecise and properrdquo the Japanese leadersaid ldquoThe idea is that we need to grasp theNorth Korea issues comprehensivelyincluding nuclear and missile develop-ment and no economic cooperationshould be provided unless the Northrsquos will-ingness to change is seenrdquo

Hatoyama said North Korearsquos pastabductions of Japanese civilians must be

addressed as part of the package deal andhe appreciated Leersquos support for includingthe issue in his comprehensive packagesolution

Japanrsquos new leader also emphasizedonce again his governmentrsquos willingness toface up to the nationrsquos military pastHatoyama took the office on Sept 16 andexpectations have been high in Korea thatthe two countries will move beyond theirtroubled past under his liberal leadership

ldquoIt is important that each and every person in the government and the peopleof Japan understand the Murayama state-mentrdquo Hatoyama said at the press confer-ence ldquoThis is a matter where emotions caneasily prevail It will take some time to seek the understanding of the Japanese and Ihope Koreans can also understand such asituationrdquo

Admitting that Japanrsquos colonial ruleand aggression caused tremendous dam-age to Asia then-Japanese Prime MinisterTomiichi Murayama issued an apology in

1995 The statement has become Tokyorsquosofficial stance on its military past

In the interview Euh stresses thatraising international aid could help litKorearsquos ranking but that the acclaimwould be a secondary goal

Because the neighborhoods that host the villagecenters are home to dierent ethnic groups sta havetailored programs to speciic nationalities

he regular visitors to the Ichon-dong cen-ter where many Japanese live are moms andchildren who want to get tips about Koreantourist attractions or learn the local language

ldquoJapanese residents here share a high inter-est in learning about Koreardquo said Yukiko Ishi-hara who works at the Ichon branch ldquohey ind living here is a window onto ways to knowmore about Korea O the programs IchonGlobal Village Center oers Korean languageclasses and bojagi [Korean traditional wrappingcloth] making classes are very popular amongJapanese mothers Bojagi class is very popularbecause once Japanese moms know how tomake it they can give it to their riends in Japanas a souvenirrdquo

Five additional Korean cultural traditions were named part of theIntangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO at thefourth meeting of the intergovernmental committee that gov-erns the list in Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates from Sept 28

to Oct 2 There 76 additions were decided on by the 24 member statesof the committee

A total of 116 states are bound by the UNESCO Convention for theSafeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage which was adopted in2003 The convention names oral expressions rituals festive eventscrafts music dances performing arts and other traditions worthy of preservation This living heritage is passed on from generation to gen-eration providing communities and groups with a sense of identity andcontinuity essential for human cultural diversity and creativity

With the inscription of the five traditions Korea now has a total of eight on the UNESCO list including the Gangneung Danoje Festival

pansori chant and ldquothe royal ancestral ritual at Jongmyo Shrine and itsmusicrdquo all added in 2008 The Cultural Heritage Administration intendsto apply for 40 more inscriptions next year

ldquoDifferent countries can apply for the same intangible cultural heri-tage such as making kimchirdquo Yi Kun-moo the administrator for theCultural Heritage Administration said in an interview during the con-

vention in Abu Dhabi ldquoThus it is important for us to take the initiativeahead of countries like Japanrdquo

The five Korean traditions that made it onto the list this year areGanggangsullae Jeju Chilmeoridang Yeongdeunggut Namsadang NoriCheoyongmu and Yeongsanjae

CheoyongmuThe Cheoyongmu is a dance performed in the mask and costume of

the mystical character Cheoyong featured in a ninth century Koreanlegend According to the story Cheoyong son of the dragon king enteredthe human world arriving at Gaeunpo Port in Ulsan during the reign of the Silla Dynastyrsquos King Heongang After making it to the capital hemarried a beautiful woman and won an official rank On moonlit nightshe would wander the city and one night when he returned home hefound a smallpox spirit in bed with his wife and dispelled it with singing

and dancingThis legend gave birth to the folk belief that an image of Cheoyong

on onersquos gate would prevent the evil spirit from entering the house It alsoled to the tradition of the Cheoyongmu which was performed at royalbanquets or at exorcisms on New Yearrsquos Eve to ward off smallpox andpromote good fortune That tradition is still carried on today

With an artistic history of over a millennium the Cheoyongmu alsoreflects the cosmological theory of yin and yang and the Five Elementswhich prevailed in Joseon society

GanggangsullaeSince its designation by the Korean government as Important Intan-

gible Cultural Heritage No 8 in 1966 Ganggangsullae has been safe-

a modern art and expected to make asignificant contribution to the well-being of the senior citizens and in artherapy

Jeju Chilmeoridang Yeongdeunggut The Jeju Chilmeoridang Yeong-

deunggut is an annual Jeju ritual It isperformed in the second month of theunar calendar called ldquoYeongdeungrdquo in

honor of the goddess of wind Grand-mother Yeongdeung to pray for anabundant harvest and sea catch On thefirst day of the Yeongdeung monthGrandmother Yeongdeung arrives with

her family the winds to enjoy the islandrsquos beauty Springcomes when she leaves

Namsadang NoriNamsadang Nori which literally means ldquoall-male

vagabond clown playrdquo is a folk entertainment handeddown by itinerant groups of multi-talented performerscalled namsadang These generally tawdry light amuse-ments have their roots in the common people and theireveryday lives In pre-modern times various troupesmoved around the countryside to put on spectacularoutdoor shows but today only a single group based inSeoul remains active

The modern namsadang consists of six acts includ-ing a farmersrsquo band a mask dance a puppet play tight-rope walking sieve frame spinning and acrobatics

These folk arts combine music dancedrama and athletic feats sharing generalcharacteristics with other East Asianforms while remaining very Korean intheir technical expressions

YeongsanjaeThe word ldquoYeongsanrdquo is derived

from ldquoYeongsanhoesangrdquo the place atopVulture Peak where Buddha deliveredthe Lotus Sutra In Yeongsanjae or ldquoyes-terdayrsquos Yeongsanhoesangrdquo Buddhistscan experience for themselves thepreaching of Buddha and perform ritu-als In the ceremony the participantsstrive for spiritual enlightenment It issaid that heaven and earth vibratetogether while flowers descend from theheavens enhancing the musical perfor-mance

Since the mid-Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) large Buddhist rituals may havebeen developed based on the LotusSutra Like the rituals of other religionsYeongsanjae is an external expression of doctrine and philosophy and a means of practicing self-discipline Unlike therituals of the Qing Dynasty Korean Bud-dhism unifies the role of monk and ritu-al so that the performance can also beconsidered an act of self-discipline Inthe artistic sphere beompae (Buddhistchanting) is one of the three elements of traditional Korean vocal music alongwith gagok (lyric songs) and pansori (narrative songs)

Gangneung Danoje Festival

The venue of the annual GangneungDanoje Festival is Gangneung CityGangwon-do Province which lies in theeastern part of the peninsula in the Tae-baeksan mountain range The festival

The brewing of sacred liquor and the

Dano shamanistic rituals mark the beginning of thefour-week festival In the rituals a central role is playedby the sinmok (sacred tree) and the hwagae (a ritualobject made of feathers bells and bamboo wood) Oneof the festivalrsquos most unique aspects is its integration of Confucian shamanistic and Buddhist rites

of 1964) consists of musical storytelling by a vocalistand a drummer The popular tradition features expres-sive singing stylized speech and a repertory of narra-tives and gestures It embraces both elite and folk cul-ture During performances lasting up to eight hours amale or female singer accompanied by a single barreldrum improvises on texts that combine rural and eru-dite literary expressions The term pansori originatedfrom the Korean word pan meaning ldquoa place wheremany people get togetherrdquo and sori meaning ldquosongrdquoPansori evolved from shamanistic songs in the south-western part of Korea in the 17th century and contin-ued as an oral tradition among commoners until thelate 19th century by which time it acquired more liter-ary content and enjoyed popularity among the eliteThe settings characters and situations that make up thepansori universe are rooted in the Joseon period (1392-1910) Pansori singers go through long and rigoroustraining to learn a wide range of unique vocal timbres

100 Years of Pridein Korean CultureRemembering the day in 1909 when Sunjong flung open

the palace gates and the National Museum was born

On Nov 1 1909 EmperorSunjong officially openedthe grounds of Chang-gyeonggung Palace to the

public for the first time With a newbotanical garden and zoo one of themain attractions of the palace groundswas the Jesil Museum the first modernmuseum in the country which show-cased cultural assets such as Buddhistpaintings and porcelain pieces from the

Goryeo Dynasty The emperorrsquos phi-osophy was encapsulated in the phrase

yeominhaerak or ldquoA good leader shareshis enjoyments with the peoplerdquo

This event at the close of the JoseonDynasty with Japanese colonial forcesclosing in is c onsidered by some to beKorearsquos symbolic point of transitionfrom kingdom to modern society

The Joseon Dynasty ended in 1910and Emperor Sunjong died in 1926 buthe museum remained The Japanese

renamed it the Yi Royal Museum and

it went through two other names beforebecoming in 1969 the National Muse-um of Korea Today it occupies a beau-tiful modern complex in Yongsan-gu

just north of the Hangang River inSeoul

This year to celebrate the museumrsquos100th birthday a special exhibition isbeing held until Nov 8 named after theaphorism that led to its existence ldquoYeo-minhaerakrdquo The event brings together

some of the most impressive pieces of Korean cultural heritage In fact amongthe 150 exhibits on display 55 havebeen designated national treasures

The special exhibition consists of two parts mdash historical artifacts relatedto the museumrsquos centennial and Koreanrelics collected from overseas

is designated National Treasure No207

The saddle flap is formed of severalthick layers of white birch bark with amystical-looking white horse drawn onthe outmost layer The horse has a hornon its forehead and flames coming outof its mouth It is postured is as if it wereflying through the air surrounded by swirling patterns of white red brownand black

Because of the horn on its headsome experts believe that the creature isnot a horse but a girin a mythical crea-ture whose appearance was thought tosignal the arrival of a holy man Visitorshad a chance to judge for themselves by gazing at the piece through an infraredcamera at the exhibit with a resolutionof 12 million pixels

Though Cheonmado is part of theNational Museumrsquos permanent collec-tion it is usually kept in a special stor-age area because of the fragility of thebirch bark It has been displayed to thepublic only twice before since 1973

For those interested in the real-lifewords of a Joseon king 66 letters writ-ten by 18th century King Jeongjo arealso on display King Jeongjo was knownto be meticulous and thoughtful andsavvy in dealing with people

The letters are divided into two cat-egories ldquo jeongjosinhanrdquo letters sent tohis minister Sim Hwan-ji discussingstate affairs and ldquo jeongjoeopilrdquo letterssent to his uncle Hong Nak-im usually concerning family matters

Just as Emperor Sunjong openedthe palace to the p eople the museum is

The second section contains 30pieces including national treasures andartifacts collected by other countries

One of the exhibitrsquos most importantpieces mdash which unfortunately was tak-en off display early on Oct 7 mdash isundoubtedly the original of Mongyudo-wondo the oldest Joseon-era (1392-1910) painting still intact Created by Ahn Gyeon a painter who flourishedduring the cultural heyday of KingSejongrsquos rule (1418-1450) the work wasshown to the Korean public for the firsttime The piece depicts an idyllic para-dise that Prince Anpyeong KingSejongrsquos third son described to the art-ist from a dream of his The artwork isaccompanied by poetry written in cal-ligraphy by the prince and about 20 of the most renowned poets of the timeWhile An strongly influenced Korean

traditional art for ages to come thepoems written out by hand by the poetsthemselves also hold a significant placein the history of local literature and cal-ligraphy

Mongyudowondowas on loan fromthe central library of Japanrsquos Tenri Uni-

versity Its whereabouts became unclearafter 1453 when Prince Anpyeong wasslain by his older brother Suyang But itturned up in 1893 in Japan in the p os-session of the Shimazu family fromKagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu The

painting was designated a Japanesenational treasure in 1939 and was pur-chased by the university when it wasput up for sale in the early 1950s At thetime with war ravaging the country noKorean buyer could afford the paintingwhich cost several thousand dollars

ldquoThe press conference today showed the unchangingpopularity of Baerdquo said one of the journalists who waspresent ldquoItrsquos often the case that fewer than 100 journalistsattend a conference for a Japanese popular star but todaysome 300 attended which is unbelievablerdquo

A member of the animation production team saidldquoThe attention given to the [Winter Sonata] animation hasbeen huge in Japanrdquo

At the conference Bae said ldquoBy participating in theanimation lending my voice I was able once again to feelthe passion and warm emotions I felt when I was shootingthe dramardquo

With the sustained popularity of the program whichfirst aired in 2002 the Korean media company Key Eastsigned an agreement with the Japanese entertainmentcompany Total Promotion to coproduce an animationbased on it The drama helped launch the ldquoKorean Waverdquoin Japan after it aired on the NHK public television net-work in 2004 Since then Bae has become a superstaramong Japanese female viewers

The drama revolves around the story of two child-

hood friends mdash played by Bae and Choi mdash and the trag-edy that follows them in the years to come

The first season of the animation started airing inmid-October on Japanrsquos cable channels DATV and Sky Perfect TV

Trapped in tranquil domesticity

Oh Jung-hee (born 1947) is one of themost important woman writers inKorea Recipient of the 1980 Yi SangLiterature Prize the 1983 Dongin

Literary Prize and the 1996 O Yeongsu Litera-ture Prize Oh explores the chaotic often terrify-ing landscape of the feminine psyche hiddenunder a veneer of tranquility with chillingdetachment elegance and lyrical beauty

An important motif in her early stories is the

suppressed emotions of alienated individualsUnable to achieve harmonious relationshipswith others the characters in Ohrsquos stories leademotionally detached lives often manifestingtheir loneliness and self-hatred through destruc-tive behaviors directed at themselves and othersIn stories such as ldquoThe Misty Leveerdquo ldquoDawnrdquoand ldquoRiver of Firerdquo their violent urges are encap-sulated in physical deformity and allowedexpression only in perverse or sterile sex In the

mid-1970s the author shifted her focus to thetedium of everyday life within the safe but suf-focating enclosure of family and marriage Theprotagonists of Ohrsquos later stories are mostly mid-dle-aged married women who long to escapefrom their socially defined roles in order to finda truer more fundamental existence At timesthey manage to escape but only for a brief timeand they inevitably return to the drudgery of their daily life with disillusionment Among her

stories from this period are ldquoChinatownrdquo ldquoGar-den of Childhoodrdquo ldquoWords of Farewellrdquo ldquoWay-farerrdquo and ldquoSpirit of the Windrdquo The coming-of-age stories ldquoChinatownrdquo and ldquoGarden of Child-hoodrdquo suggest that the authorrsquos pessimistic per-spective toward life is in part shaped by herexperience of the Korean War But her collectionof childrenrsquos stories Songi Itrsquos Morning Outsidethe Door suggests that the author is now engagedin shaping a new literary vision for herself

The eight stories collectedn this volume present a clear

picture of Oh Jung-heersquos literary world which revolves aroundwomen and the feelings of

despair disillusionment anddispossession they experiencewithin the confines of Koreansociety

Set in the period immedi-ately before and after the Kore-an War the title story ldquoGardenof Childhoodrdquo tells the story of a seven-year-old girl ldquoYellowEyerdquo Her father is away in thearmy and her mother supportsthe family by doing odd jobs atthe village market late into thenight The girlrsquos older brotherwho is in effect the head of the

household in his fatherrsquosabsence does little to fulfillpaternal responsibilities butsimply rules over the familyoften turning violent Fearful of his authoritative presence thegirlrsquos older sister often stays outlate into the night The subtleshades of pain and hatred thatcolor the family interactions areobserved through the eyes of this young girl

In ldquoEvening Gamerdquo an ane-mic spinster plays a game of hwatu (Korean cards) every

night with the ailing father wholives with her A suffocatingsense of stagnation sterility andshapeless doom pervades theirlives as they wait for the wom-anrsquos vanished brother

After the father goes to bedthe woman often sneaks out of the house for a rendezvous witha man But the cold mechanicalsex she has with him at an aban-doned construction site provesto be almost sadistic in naturean exercise in self-hatred ratherthan the escape she seeks

Garden of Childhood

(Yunyeonui tteul)

Including the Dongin Liter-ary prize-winner ldquoA BronzeMirrorrdquo the nine stories in thisvolume explore the desire forescape from dysfunctional real-ty and the fear that accompanies

it as well as the problem of death

Though they all focus on thefemale psyche these stories arenarrated by men or from a maleperspective The narrator of ldquoThe Soul of Windrdquo is a 30-year-old bank employee He is able tofind an amount of satisfaction inhis ordinary uneventful life buthis wife Eun-su is suffocated by their lives together She takesevery opportunity to leave homeand wander about One daywhile hiking alone she is rapedby three men Returning homeshe is confronted by her hus-

band who can no longer endureher frequent absences and asksto separate Moving in with hermother Eun-su learns she is nother motherrsquos biological daugh-ter With this revelation Eun-subegins a long journey into theabyss of her lost memories toreconstruct the truth of her exis-tence

ldquoA Bronze Mirrorrdquo is thestory of an old couple who leada quiet lonely life after the deathof their only son Expecting visi-tors from church the old womanprepares dough for fresh noo-dles she intends to serve The

visit is canceled however andinstead a young waterworksemployee who reminds her of her dead son comes to read thewater meter As a way of pro-longing his stay she offers himnoodles Her kindness andattention make the young manuncomfortable and angers herhusband The old man turns hisattention to a bratty girl playingin the yard Through these mun-dane details the story provides akeen psychological portrait of the death and sorrow that lurk behind the tranquil faccedilade of their lives

A Literary TalentBorn at a Young AgeSometimes called Korearsquos Virginia Woolf Oh Jung-hee wrote

her first prize-winning story while still in high school

Ohrsquos best stories are powerful portraits of

families strained by suppressed emotions


O

h Jung-hee (born 1947) is one of the mostaccomplished writers of short fiction in acountry that is justly proud of its accom-

plishments in this literary genre She is one of the fewauthors to have captured both the Yi Sang and theDongin awards mdash Korearsquos two most prestigious priz-es for short fiction mdash and translations of her worksinto Japanese English French and other languageshave won her a small but growing international rep-utation English translations of her works have wonher comparisons with such writers as Americarsquos JoyceCarol Oates Canadarsquos Alice Munro and EnglandrsquosVirginia Woolf

Oh was just out of her teens when she burst ontothe literary scene by winning a competition for aspir-

ing writers sponsored by the JoongAng Ilbo a Seouldaily in 1968 The prize-winning story ldquoThe Toy-shop Womanrdquo concerns a high school girlrsquos descentinto madness punctuated by kleptomania and anobsession with the crippled owner of a toyshop Thatthis highly original debut story was being writtenwhile the author herself was in high school suggested

the arrival of a gifted literary talentOh has since published some four dozen stories

and novellas It is an oeuvre of consistently high qual-ity consisting of provocative densely textured sto-ries many of them infused with a restrained inten-sity that is unsettling sometimes shocking Not until1977 did Oh publish her first collection of short fic-tion River of Fire There followed an especially pro-ductive period in which many of her most memo-rable stories were composed Ohs production sincethe 1990s has been more sporadic but works s uch asThe Old Well (Yet umul 1994) and The Bird reflectthe high standards she set for herself at the very

beginning of her careerOhrsquos command of language is formidable mdash her

vocabulary impressive her word choices deliberateand suggestive Stories such as ldquoThe Cookoutrdquo andldquoMorning Starrdquo reveal a good ear for dialog Flash-backs stream-of-consciousness technique and inte-rior monologues constitute much of Ohrsquos narrativesLong paragraphs juxtaposing images and points of

view of family members past and present are notuncommon

ldquoWords of Farewellrdquo which depicts separate butparallel spiritual journeys by a woman and her losthusband is a striking example This concern with theinterior landscape of the characters is for Oh a meansfor dealing with her characteristic themes of aban-

donment and loneliness Heighteningthe impact of these themes is the authorstypically dispassionate narrative tonewhich in her earlier stories takes theform of a nameless first-person narrator

(every story in River of Fire is told in this manner)These nameless narrators become Everywoman andEveryman (some of her narrators are male) strug-gling in an emotionally parched landscape

Oh has been fascinated with family relationshipsever since her literary debut Her best stories arepowerful yet sensitive portraits of families strained to

the breaking point by suppressed emotions andinvisible external forces In these works Oh pene-trates the surface of seemingly pedestrian lives toreveal nightmarish family constellations warped by divorce insanity abandonment abuse and deathDarkness is prominent in these stories representingamong other things these family nightmares In ldquoTheToyshop Womanrdquo ldquoThe Cookoutrdquo ldquoThe BronzeMirrorrdquo and elsewhere darkness creeps upon thescene like a sinister beast unleashing black memo-ries among the characters

Autumn is cold water too is cold

The moment my shadow that had been wandering here

and there in a circular cruel room

slowly nibbling leaves sighed

At that moment might the word man have arisen

That remote long-ago today

At the place where that word man went soaring aloft might a sorrowful blunt icicle have been attached

Itrsquos a breast kneaded with sorrow like the wind like a

bow

otherwise surely it could never be so out of breath

Saying itrsquos the sound of a faraway train wonrsquot do

and saying itrsquos the smell of rain will do even less

I can grasp the inner and outer aspects of the word wom-

an

but the word man that nothing seems capable of replac-

ing

is sorrowful and cold so as I try to grasp my wife who

struggles to escape

it seems hot blood will well from my hands

At first sunlight appeared but then eyesrsquo light would also

appear

the breast would appear feelings would appear

The windrsquos habit turning one man into two

ten men into twenty a hundred a thousand

then commits them to the flames

devouring that wind as I look back

making the blood circulate in my tree and branches

is what has made the millennia flow heedlessly past before you

That wind has not yet not yet ended splendidly

From ldquoThe Windrsquos Private Liferdquo by poet Lee Byung-ryul

가을은 차고 물도 차다

둥글고 가혹한 방 여기저기를 떠돌던 내 그림자가

어기적어기적 나뭇잎을 뜯어먹고 한숨을 내쉬었던

순간

그 순간 사내라는 말도 생겼을까

저 먼 옛날 오래전 오늘

사내라는 말이 솟구친 자리에 서럽고 끝이 무딘

고드름은 매달렸을까

슬픔으로 빚은 품이며 바람 같다 활 같다

그러지않고는 이리 숨이 찰 수 있나

먼 기차소리라고 하기도 그렇고

비의 냄새라고 하기엔 더 그렇고

계집이란 말은 안팎이 잡히는데

그 무엇이 대신해줄 것 같지 않은

사내라는 말은 서럽고도 차가워

도망가려 버둥거리는 정처를 붙드는 순간

내 손에 뜨거운 피가 밸 것 같다

처음엔 햇빛이 생겼으나 눈빛이 생겼을 것이고

가슴이 생겼으나 심정이 생겨났을 것이다

한 사내가 두 사내가 되고

열 사내를 스물 백 천의 사내로 번지게 하고 불살

랐던

바람의 습관들

되돌아보면 그 바람을 받아먹고

내 나무에 가지에 피를 돌게 하여무심히 당신 앞을 수천년을 흘렀던 것이다

그 바람이 아직 아직 찬란히 끝나지 않은 것이다

of wheat leave a footprint on the corner of the mat andbe on our way The wheat grains clicked against our teethand after the tough husks had steeped in our warm sweetsaliva the kernels would emerge sticking like glue every-where inside our mouths About the time they becamegood and chewy we would reach the railroad

While we waited for the coal train we blew big bubbleswith our wheat gum set up rocks we had gathered fromthe roadbed and threw pebbles at them or hunted fornails we had set on the rails the previous day to makemagnets

Eventually the train would appear and rattle to a stopwith one last wheeze We would scurry between thewheels rake up the coal dust and then hook our armsthrough the gaps in the doors and scoop out some of theegg-shaped briquettes Usually by the time the cartersfrom the coal yard across the tracks had made their dusty appearance we had filled our school-slipper poucheswith coal mdash the bigger and faster children used cement

bags Then we would nestle the coal under our arms andhop over the low wire fence on the harbor side of thetracks

We would push open the door to the snack bar on thepier and swarm to the table in the corner Depending onthe dayrsquos plunder noodle soup wonton steamed bunsfilled with red bean jam or some such thing would bebrought to us And sometimes the coal was exchanged forbaked sweet potatoes picture cards or candy In any eventwe knew that coal was like cash mdash something we couldtrade for anything around the pier mdash and so the childrenin our neighborhood looked like black puppies through-out the year

Some people called our neighborhood Seashore Vil-lage others called it Chinatown The coal dust carried by the north wind all winter long covered the area like ashadow and the sun hung faint in the bla ckened sky look-ing more like the moon

(2)Although we had no direct contact with the Chinese

in the two-story houses on the hill they were the yeast of our infinite imagination and curiosity Smugglers opiumaddicts coolies who squirreled away gold inside every

panel of their ragged quilted clothing mounted banditswho swept over the frozen earth to the beat of their hors-esrsquo hoofs barbarians who sliced up the raw liver of aslaughtered enemy and ate it according to rank outcastebutchers who made wonton out of human flesh peoplewhose turds had frozen upright on the northern Manchu-rian plain before they could pull up their pants mdash this washow we thought of them What was inside the tightly closed shutters of their houses And what lay deep insidetheir minds seldom expressed even after years of friend-ship Was it gold Opium Suspicion

Chinatown

1)

Railroad tracks ran west through the heart of the cityending abruptly near a flour mill at the north end of theharbor When a coal train jerked to a stop there the loco-motive would recoil as if in fear of dropping into the seasending coal dust trickling through chinks in the floorsof the cars

There was no lunch waiting for us at home duringhose winter days short as a deerrsquos tail so we would throw

aside our book bags as soon as school was over and flock past the pier to the flour mill The straw mats that coveredhe south yard of the mill were always strewn with wheat

drying in the sun If the custodian was away from thefront gate we would walk in help ourselves to a handful

Korean Artist

V iolinist Kim Min 67 receivedthe ldquoUna Vita per la Musicardquo(ldquoa life of musicrdquo) certificateand medal from Italian Presi-

most thankful to the Korean ChamberOrchestra members as they made it pos-sible for all of us to be here in this honoredplacerdquo

Kim was referring to his 30 years of raveling and playing through excitement

and anxiety together with the KoreanChamber Orchestra which has held morehan 700 performances in countries across

Asia North America and Europe Oneunforgettable performance came on April3 on Sorok-do Island a former Koreaneper colony where many victims of the

debilitating illness still live

ldquoThe islandrsquos first classical music orga-nization was founded recently 100 yearsafter the town was founded and our visitbrought both [groups] to tearsrdquo Kim saidThe connection and passionate reactionKim felt from the island dwellers had a bigmpact on his music he said

ldquoWith the Sorok-do Island perfor-mance I was assured that the power of sharing can bring everlasting inspirationand encouragement to everyone in any hardship and that was what I had to do Iwill keep communicating with everyone

equally and try to open their hearts todeliver the joy of life through my musicmy violinrdquo

For Kim who described his violin asmore important to him than anythingelse ldquoA Life of Musicrdquo seems a suitablelabel But it wasnrsquot always that way

ldquoI have not come from a straight roadI have taken the other path wanderingaround I was interested in s o many differ-ent fields like painting photography andowning a business so there were timesthat I had doubts in my music life as wellas financial obstacles that kept me away from the violinrdquo

On 1965 Kim was planning to study abroad after his college graduation Unfor-

tunately his family went bankrupt andKim had to sell his violin and run a smallcoffeehouse for a year In spite of thesehard times that year Kim was away fromthe music world was when he realized des-perately that music meant everything tohim

ldquoOnce I realized that playing musicwas my way I battled to keep at it withoutstoppingrdquo says Kim ldquoAlthough I did nothave enough resources I was just happy toplay the violin againrdquo

Four years later Kim moved to Ger-

It was only when his family went bankrupt that Kimrealized that music was his life

U-20 Team Hits QuarterfinalsBut Canrsquot Top African Champs

They may have come up one game short of tying theirall-time record but they had an impressive run none-theless

Before Korearsquos explosive soar to the final four of the2002 World Cup the standard of excellence was set by the squadat the 1983 U-20 World Cup in Mexico Clad in red the Koreanteam made it to the semifinals before bowing out to Brazil Thefeisty play of the young squad earned it the nickname ldquoRed Dev-ilsrdquo which has stuck through the years being adopted by theofficial support group of the national team

Heading into the 2009 U-20 World Cup in Eg ypt many werehoping for a repeat of that magical year by 2002 World Cup team

captain Hong Myung-bo But the more realistic goal turned outto be the round of 16 Hong had never managed a team Mean-while the teamrsquos biggest star FC Seoulrsquos Ki Sung-yeung couldnrsquot

join due to obligations to the senior team Considering Ki recent-ly signed a three-year deal with the Scottish powerhouse CelticFC it was a loss for Korea

ldquoMy players showed a lot of mental toughness and adaptedto changes quickly Despite lacking recognizable names on ourroster our players came together and tried their best until the

very end They deserve applause for their effortrdquo said Koreanmanager Hong Myung-bo

Placed in what was dubbed the ldquogroup of deathrdquo by manyKorea had to face Germany Cameroon and the US Led by

Hong the U-20 squad started the tourney without much fanfarelosing their first game to Cameroon 2-0 But Hong known forhis stoic demeanor made some lineup changes for the secondgame One was the versatile Yonsei University freshman KimMin-woo who listed at 172 centimeters (5 feet 6 inches) was theshortest player on the squad and was left off the starting roster inthe first game

Korea was able to tie Germany 1-1 in their second game withKim scoring a nifty equalizer in the second half after managingto get past three German defenders Facing a must-win situationKorea dominated the Americans to a 3-1 win to advance to theround of 16 Hong and the boys then faced a strong Paraguay

team which had given up only one goal in the group phase Kimonce again delivered big and carried the team to a 3-1 victoryKim assisted on Hongik Universityrsquos Kim Bo-kyungrsquos openinggoal and then went on to score two of his own to help Koreaadvance to the quarterfinals at the U-20 World Cup for the firsttime since the joint inter-Korean team in Portugal in 1991 ButKorea quickly succumbed to African champions Ghana 3-2

ldquoOur players got a chance to play in an international tourna-ment and although it wasnrsquot perfect the results reflect the playerrsquosefforts Our players put forth 100 percent effort However they need to try harder to improve their game They need to put intwice the work of other playersrdquo said Hong in a postgame inter-

In these late days of fall tall pam-pas grass fills the mountains toreplace the autumn leaves to thenorth while the band of red and

With 2010 just two months away Korearsquos tour-ism officials are scrambling to prepare forthe ldquoVisit Koreardquo campaign

In fact the Ministry of Culture Sportsand Tourism has declared the period from 2010 to 2012 asldquoVisit Koreardquo years vowing to put the country once and forall on the global tourism map

Just last month that ambitious campaign got a signifi-cant boost from a prestigious source At the 18th UnitedNations World Tourism Organization General Assemblymeeting held in Astana Kazakhstan in early OctoberKorea was named the next host of the UNWTO confer-ence

The UNWTO serves as the forum within the UN fortourism policy issues and sharing travel know-how It has154 member states and Korea has been a member since1975

ldquo[Hosting the assembly] will give Korea the momen-tum to develop into a tourism power house As the meetingwill take place during our Visit Korea campaign I think we can expect some synergyrdquo said Vice Minister Shin Jae-min who attended the meeting in Astana last month

The next UNWTO assembly is slated for 2011 As theworldrsquos largest international conference on tourism theassembly is attended by the UNWTO secretary generalthe culture ministers of the the member nations and tour-ism experts At least 1500 guests including governmentofficials experts and journalists are expected to gather forthe 2011 event which is expected to bring some 15 billionwon ($13 million) in economic benefits according to theCulture Ministry

It will be the first time Korea has hosted the meetingon its own after serving as a co-host with Japan in 2001

The venue and exact timing has yet to be decided ButKorean officials show little concern about Korearsquos readi-ness to host such a huge event

ldquoKorea has diverse experience hosting large-scale glob-al meetings and conferences Korean cities like SeoulBusan and Jeju have the capabilities to host the assembly even right nowrdquo Shin told reporters

In the meantime Korearsquos tourism officials have highhopes for the upcoming 2010-2012 Visit Korea cam-paign

Incentives for foreign travelers who visit during thecampaign and special marketing events are among theways Korean officials will use to hit their target mdash 10 mil-lion foreign tourists by 2012

E

very Sunday 22-year-old university student Dang NgocThanh heads to Ansan Gyeo-

nggi-do Province to teachadults mdash some over twice his age

Thanh came to Korea four years agofrom Vietnam But his ties to Korea gofurther back to his childhood ldquoMy father has been in and out of Korea since was a little boy striking up business

deals involving Korean companiesrdquo saysThanh in almost perfect Korean Hisfather who works for an investmentconsulting firm in Vietnam is also flu-ent in Korean

Thanhrsquos sister now attends Yonsei

Universityrsquos Korean Language Institutethe same place Dang Ngoc started hisKorean language learning a few years

agoThanh now attends Hanyang Uni-

versity as a junior majoring in businessadministration but once every weekthe student becomes a teacher at theAnsan Migrant Community ServiceCenter ldquoI first started my relationshipwith the Ansan Migrant Community Service Center last year in May when Itaught Vietnamese immigrants andworkers in Korea how to pass the inter-national driverrsquos license exam Especial-ly for workers passing this test was cru-

cialrdquo he saidThanh was introduced to the job

through the language interpreting cen-

ter at Hanyang University After his classlast year won rave reviews Thanh wenton to teach Korean there starting April5 He now meets with a class of around15 to 18 Vietnamese immigrants every Sunday for three hours starting at 10am The young professor says that whenhe teaches the class he tries to remem-ber the challenges that he faced when hefirst started learning Korean Every week he prepares his own instructionalmaterial on about 20 pages of A4-sizedpaper

ldquo[Thanh] is always extremely hard-working and enthusiastic toward hisstudents I am very thankful that he is apart of our program I think he pos-sesses a strong will to look after peoplefrom his native countryrdquo says Lee Mi-ryeong public relations head at the cen-ter

Even though the commute to Ansantakes him around two hours by trainThanh has never missed a class ldquoEvenduring exam time I went to Ansan toteach because all my students were wait-ing for me How can a teacher not goAlthough I have to sacrifice a weekendday every week when I see that the Viet-namese workers and immigrants I teachhave improved on their Korean lan-guage skills it all feels worth itrdquo Thanhsays

ldquoEvery language has its own charac-teristics but I find the Korean languageone of the most fascinating Take theword lsquomaeumrsquo [Korean for heart] Youcan use that word in so many differentways and depending on how you usethe word sentences become totally dif-ferent in meaningrdquo

Thanh points out that ldquomaeumrdquo canmean relief determination or love by simply pairing it with different verbsldquoIn Vietnam we also use Chinese char-acters but the pronunciation and gram-mar are rather tricky Thatrsquos why I makemy own instructional materials so that

my Vietnamese students can differenti-ate between Korean and Vietnamese ina clearer wayrdquo

One of Thanhrsquos proudest momentscame in July when one of his Vietnam-ese students at the center a 31-year-oldfactory worker at Ansan went back toVietnam to take a job at a Korean com-pany there mdash thanks to his Korean lan-guage skills Thanh says reading thethank you e-mail from him brought himgreat satisfaction

Even though the Korean Wave has


Every Sunday or three hours Dang Ngoc Thanh 22 teaches the Korean language to Viet-

namese migrant workers in Ansan Gyeonggi-do Province

brought Korean culture closer to Vietnam and otherAsian countries for Vietnamese immigrants andworkers in Korea it is a difficult task to learn the lan-guage from scratch

ldquoPopularizing the Korean language will really helpKorearsquos efforts to globalizerdquo Thanh says ldquoMany peoplefrom all over the world want to come to Korea How-ever Korea is not too English-friendly even thoughthere are a lot of foreigners here To work or live herelearning Korean is essential because communicationthrough English is difficultrdquo

Particularly for workers Thanh says it is hard tocommunicate and carry out everyday activities inplaces like hospitals insurance companies and banks

Though he is majoring in business Thanh says hewould like to continue his language studies as well Thestudent-teacher is also considering going to graduateschool and getting into the financial sector But fornow hersquos devoting himself to his studies mdash and of course to his students By Cho Jae-eun

The Gift of CommunicationIt takes Thanhtwo hours to reach Ansan to teach but he says the successof his students isall the thanks he

needs

Dang Ngoc Thanh attended the Korean

Language Institute at Yonsei University in

Seoul and is now completely fuent in the

Korean language

Foreign Viewpoints

I you have never tasted Korean

green tea you might be wonder-

ing what is so special about it The

best way to explain would be to

go together to a house on the south-

ern slopes o Mount Jirisan in late

April or early May Sitting with doors

and windows open to the early morn-

ing sunshine we watch as our hostess

prepares tea she hersel has dried only

a day or two beore over a wood-re

using very small just-budded leaves

The water or brewing the tea is drawn

rom a spring that rises just behind the

house The taste o the rst cup o tea

is so intense so unexpectedly rich and

varied so indescribably ragrant that

rom that day on the only question

would be ldquoWhen shall I be able to go

back and drink that tea againrdquo

Even in Korea the nest green tea is

not easily obtained It is easy to buy

boxes o one-cup tea bags o green tea

at very low cost but when it comes to

lea tea it is hard to nd Besides in

Korea there are relatively ew people

who regularly drink good green tea

whereas anyone traveling through the

southern regions o Japan is accus-

tomed to seeing serried green ranks o

tea bushes almost everywhere There

a cup o simply brewed green tea is

automatically oered wherever one

goes I we cross the sea to the regions

o China west and south rom Shang-

hai or to Taiwan large tea plantations

can easily be ound Tea drunk in vari-

ous ways is the staple orm o reresh-

ment everywhere in China

In Korea extensive areas planted in

tea are very ew and ar between

They are mainly ound on the slopes o

Mount Jirisan around Boseong-gun

and on Jeju-do Island In Seoul green

tea rom a small number o recognized

producers handmade or mechanized

can be bought in the department

stores Other rarer teas have to be

sought out in specialized shops and

tea rooms or obtained directly rom

the producer even inside Korea This

means that people shopping or green

tea in San Francisco or London have to

search extremely hard to nd any kind

o Korean green tea while Japanese

and Chinese varieties are common

Korean tea is rare almost unknown

In recent years a new interest in tea

has spread across the world People

in Europe or North America have dis-

covered the health benets o tea and

have developed a liking or white and

green teas oolongs and Pu-erh teas

Specialty tea stores in Paris London

or New York oten stock hundreds o

kinds o teas rom many countries

Yet Korean tea is oten almost com-

pletely absent rom their lists Many

books about tea have been published

oten beautiully illustrated Yet quite

oten there is not one mention o Ko-

rea even in a book entitled ldquoTea in the

Eastrdquo Another called ldquoThe True His-

tory o Teardquo does not mention Korean

tea until nearly the end and then just

briefy

More important the Korean authori-

ties should be encouraging the plant-

ing o tea elds by giving generous

nancial support It takes several years

or tea plants to grow the elds only

produce useable shoots or a short

period and the elds need constant

weeding trimming and care It is un-

realistic to expect the producers to

bear such a nancial burden Yet un-

less there is more tea being grown in

Korea there will not be enough leaves

to provide the quantities required or

commercial exploitation on an interna-

tional scale

For Korean tea to become a worldwide

commodity a long-term eort should

be made to support the individualsand companies producing it There is

a great uture or Korean tea which is

among the worldrsquos best but it is very

urgent or the government to show its

interest and support It is just begin-

ning to promote Korean ood Deli-

cious Korean green tea should always

be available at the end o a Korean

meal and I do not mean in a tea bag

dipped in hot water Korean tea is as

ancient in its history as that o Japan

Why is it so hard to nd

Fine Japanese and Chinese

green tea is ubiquitous but

Korean growers suffer from

poor distribution and

nsufficient scale
