(42) Park Chan-wook: Director with blood-coated lens
Tension and violence sell, but this may not be apparent to the vast majority of fans of “hallyu,” the much-discussed “Korean Wave” of pop culture that has swept outward from the shores of the peninsula since, roughly, the turn of the millennium.

A master of pansori ― a form of vocal Korean opera ― leads his adopted son and daughter through the backwaters of rural Korea.

(38) Kang Chol-hwan: harbinger of N. Korean defectors
(38) Kang Chol-hwan: harbinger of N. Korean defectors
The North Korean resistance movement does not have many recognizable faces. This is understandable: a really brutal dictatorship would not allow any dissenter to stay alive. The fact that dissent was possible in Brezhnev’s Russia and, for that matter in Park Chung-hee’s South Korea, is yet another reminder that these two dictators were softies if compared to really serious pr...

(37) 'Yonsama': Korean love god captures Japanese hearts
Some years ago, this writer climbed into a taxi in Seoul. As is commonly the case, the driver asked where I was from. On hearing “the United Kingdom” he responded, “Aha! Beckham!” Then, in excellent Konglish, he continued, “U.K. ― David Beckham! Korea ― Bae Yong-joon!”

(36) Stalin had direct impact on Korea in 1945-53 period

(35) Hiddink: hero from Holland and Korea‘s football magician
It was a balmy early summer evening on June 4, 2002, as pre-match, the national anthems of Poland and South Korea blared across the Busan World Cup Stadium. But the heated atmosphere in the stands was not due simply to the weather.

(34) Ahn Eak-tay: composer of national anthem
(34) Ahn Eak-tay: composer of national anthem
More or less every Korean has heard of Ahn Eak-tay, the composer who created the country’s national anthem. This is, indeed, his most remarkable achievement, but he should be remembered for many other things as well.

For a nation in which educational attainment is massively respected and high technologies are passionately embraced, the Seoul National University professor stood, poised, on the brink of global superstardom.
