It’s a holiday in Korea … but, sadly, not for us newspaper drones. I’ll be heading into the office soon. But in the meantime, here are a few links for you:
- Fascinating – 8 Korean foods that have been forgotten. (Chosun Ilbo)
- A short profile of Robert Fouser and the hanok of Seochon in central Seoul. I used to live close to that neighborhood, years ago before the hanok revival. But it was a great part of town for walking and exploring. (Chosun Ilbo)
- Good look at the tough conditions faced by Korean film crews – and how conditions are finally starting to improve. (Korea JoongAng Daily)
- The saga of the missing NLL transcript continues. Last year, the transcript of what former-President Roh Moo-hyun told Kim Jong-il about the Northern Limit Line was discovered to be missing from the National Archive. The right said Roh was trying to cover up something dubious (or worse). The left said the right was red-baiting. But now Roh’s words have been discovered on a computer in the late-president’s retirement home in Bongha. (Korea JoongAng Daily)
- I saw the band 0Shino (pronounced “yeong-shinho”) Tuesday night and quite liked them. If you get the chance, I recommend checking them out.
