Hallyu! The Korean Wave: The Curatorial Roundtable
May 16, 2024 - Today, South Korea is a cultural superpower-a global trendsetter producing award-winning films like Parasite, riveting dramas like Squid Game, and chart-topping music by K-pop groups such as BTS and BLACKPINK. But behind the country’s meteoric rise to the world stage, a phenomenon known as the Korean Wave, or hallyu, is the story of remarkable resilience and innovation.
Just a century ago, Korea was in search of a new national identity, following its occupation by Japan and the Korean War. Harnessing cutting-edge technology, the country has rapidly transformed its economy and international reputation. At the same time, its creative outputs are deeply rooted in its past, with many contemporary artists, filmmakers, musicians, and fashion designers paying tribute to traditional values and art forms dating back to Korea’s dynastic kingdom days.
Hallyu! The Korean Wave features approximately 250 objects-costumes, props, photographs, videos, pop culture ephemera, and contemporary works-providing an immersive and multisensory journey through a fascinating history, and a celebration of a vibrant creative force that bridges cultural, societal, and linguistic divides and continues to reach new heights today.
First presented at Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the exhibition is currently at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and will travel to Asian Art Museum, San Francisco.
Three curators-Rosalie Kim, Victoria and Albert Museum; Christina Yu Yu, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Yoon-Jee Choi, Asian Art Museum, San Francisco-discuss this captivating exhibition and South Korea's rise as a cultural superpower.

    Very funny about Hamilton, Michelle. But Grant, a resident of NYC for the past almost 150 years, might have been a better local choice. PS - My mistake…. Hamilton has been a resident of Trinity Church for 220 years.

    How magnificent! Wonderful singer and performer - she sells the songs through actual singing prowess and lots of emotion without "making it her own" by tossing in melismas which are well past ornamentation nowadays and are overused to such a degree that they interfere with the the actual melodies and any emotional content in lyrics. Bravo!!

    Recent events have heightened military tensions on the Korean Peninsula-North Korea’s successful launch of a military satellite resulting in Seoul’s decision to partially suspend the inter-Korean Comprehensive Military Agreement (CMA), and followed by Pyongyang’s deployment of additional forces near its border with South Korea-increasing the chances of conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

    Bora Chung's debut short story collection, "Cursed Bunny," earned widespread acclaim for its surreal tales addressing social issues. Her most recent collection, "Your Utopia," maintains her distinctive style of blending horror, absurdity, and dark humor, while featuring robots in what appears to be our near future. With a focus on exploring humanity’s coexistence amidst the challenges of the Anthropocene era, Chung captivates readers once again.

    Wait a minute. What if it's face-saving way out of the standard framing? Think about it: Technically, Moscow & Tokyo are still in World War Ⅱ, since the final peace-agreement to end the world-war was never signed (due to just 1 area of disagreement: Who should administer the Moscow-named "Sakhalin Islands"/Tokyo-named "Northern Territories"?) YET, how many of their troops are fighting and dying in the decades' continuing World War Ⅱ? Likewise, Pyongyang & Seoul never ended the Korean War, since the document signed was a temporary cease-fire agreement… that's miraculously lasted decades now. And hasn't Pyongyang repeatedly declared release from the agreement, even years ago now? AND STILL, how many of their troops are busy shooting, bombing, and killing each other now? They're legally "at war" without actually doing so. Likewise, perhaps now is the time Pyongyang is letting go of Seoul-administered areas, while "not letting go" and "keeping up the fight" while not actually doing so? Perhaps, we'll see embassies in each other's capital (like Tokyo & Moscow's, or even Kiev & Moscow's!) in due time?

    I disagree with the guest's conclusion sanctions have failed in all forms. First they were and are effective at evading sanctions as seen by their clearly existing nuclear program. Second there is little to no trade between the US and North Korea. Without Russia and/or China, who are the north's biggest trading partners, how can sanctions actually have any impact. The US has a proxy war with Russia even cutting it from swift while the US is pumping taiwan for a proxy conflict with china. There is no incentive to follow American initiatives in respect to North Korea. Third, Russia being cutoff from swift means Russia relies more on their own and chinese currencies, meanig they dont need to use dollars and so is harder for US to track. What US should do Stop eith denuclearization and move to arm control aim to freeze their program at current specifications, stop leading negotiations and play support to south korea What South Korea should do Stop the belligerent attitude and play down reunification for now. and assert the goal of peaceful coexistence. Take lead in all inter Korean dialog and demand US back you in support of its ally. Follow through on inter-korean agreement without waiting on US approval. Be bold in a new innovative way to stimulate dialog on peaceful coexistence

    Is the guest forgetting Juche doctrine? Self- reliance is key. Kim argued for the well being of his people when he talked about sanction relief. They sincerely believe that without the sanctions handicap they could flourish. They were never looking for imf loan handsouts and foreign "investments" those things lead to where Hati is at now or Africa since the end of colonialism plus a bunch of foreign influences. Him not wanting foreign influence does not mean he doesn't care about the well being of his people. Kim from what i can see wants to be liked by the people he wants to be seen improving his people's lives because he knows thats the only way he can get their undying devoution. That was the whole reason for the diplomacy any why he was embarrassed not to get any sanction relief. It is why he has turned so decisively against further talks with US and ROK, its a dead end. Let's also not forget the death of the Iran deal asked the question, is the US agreement-capable? Will sanctions comeback with the next president?

    Does sincerely mean they do what we want? And if they do what we want does that mean now they're sincere?

  • @supremeheavenlydeity5742
    @supremeheavenlydeity5742 Před měsícem

    What does it mean to sincerely engage with the outside world? I think North korea sincerely tried to engage in 2018-2019 summits and if i remember correctly Kim had no problem with a partial denuclearization. In fact that was Kim's proposal. It was the US led by hardline John Bolton (the real negotiating power) who advocated for an all or nothing approach. In the end Kim was left embarrassed by his failure to get any sanction releif at all. After a summit like that what else is there to talk about? The US side made it clear they want full irrevocable verified denuclearization and they wanted everything before kim would get anything. Why talk? To get embarrassed again? Offers to "talk" are nothing more than an attempt to see how desperate North Korea is. Even the guests' vision of the only possible unification method is for the laws and systems of the south to cover the north with Kim deposed and possibly put on trial. This scenario gives no thought of compromise, give and take or even a symbolic position. In her mind the only hope of reunification is north korea on its knees desperate and begging the south to take them in. Even China who seeks reunification with Taiwan at least gives lip service to "one country two systems" signaling, even if rhetorical, at least some respect and dignity for the other side of the divide and their developments and accomplishments in the time since seperation.
