京畿道
- 传说温祚王从高句丽卒本扶余出逃时，京畿道已成为一个在政治上较重要的地区，百济鼻祖温祚王把道邑设在了慰礼城（今京畿道境内）。在5世纪中叶，汉江流域曾被并入高句丽；到了553年（真兴王14年）则变成了新罗的领土；统一新罗国的全国九个州中，现在的京畿道地区被称为汉山州。随着统一新罗之后的高丽国太祖王建定都开城，京畿地区便跃升为韩国历史的一个中心地区，公元995年（高丽成宗14年间）开京周围设了六赤县和七畿县。成宗王时期，实施全国10道制，京畿被称为关内道。1018年（高丽显宗9年）开始，正式叫做“京畿”。在高丽王朝之后建立的朝鲜时代，太祖定都汉阳后，重新整併了京畿的地盘，从太宗、世宗时期开始便把广州、水原、骊州、安城等东南地区划归京畿，大体上同现在的京畿道行政区划一致。到了1895年，随着推行二十三府制，京畿道便被划分归属汉城府（今首爾）、仁川府、忠州府、公州府、开城府地盘。在日本占领时期，于1910年10月1日，把原来的汉城府划入京畿道后更名为京城府，并把道府设在京城府。戰後，暫時託管韓國的美國軍政廳於1946年9月公布法令第106號，將漢城從京畿道分離，並改制為特別市，同時京畿道的部分地区亦划归漢城。到了1967年，京畿道的道府所在地从首尔特别市迁到了水原市。自从1981年仁川直辖市从京畿道分离出去后，金浦郡、瓮津郡、江华郡等原京畿地区，分别于1989年和1995年划入仁川广域市。

- [korea jun19] the saemangeum seawall is an embankment connecting buan-gun county and gunsan. Construction began in 1991 and took 19 years to complete, resulting in the world's longest dyke. The gogunsan-do islands comprises a few dozen islands now connected to the mainland thanks to this embankment. These islands were naval outposts that protected the yellow sea during the goryeo dynasty. The islands in the center of the archipelago are named seonyudo (meaning strolling daoist hermits). At the end of the road stands daejangdo island (meaning large and long), a fitting moniker given the large-scale long bridge built a few years ago
- economist 15jun19 "a muddy future" Mr Moon wants it to become home to wind farms and solar plants capable of generating 4gw of power, to give South Korea a “brighter future”. The site has unfortunate associations. The seawall, conceived in the early 1990s to reclaim land for agriculture, is the country’s most famous white elephant. It cost billions to build, but by the time it was completed, in 2010, there was little demand for new farmland. Environmentalists, meanwhile, lamented the destruction of an important way-station for migratory birds. Local fishermen complained their catches had shrunk. The vast expanse of stagnant, brackish water trapped behind the dyke hardly speaks of a greener future.https://www.economist.com/asia/2019/06/15/south-koreas-government-wants-greener-energy-who-will-pay-for-it
Gyeongju (Korean: 경주, pronounced [kjʌŋ.dʑu]), historically known as "Seorabeol" (Korean: 서라벌, pronounced [sʌ.ɾa.bʌl]), is a coastal city in the far southeastern corner of North Gyeongsang Province in South Korea.Gyeongju was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla (57 BC – 935 AD) which ruled about two-thirds of the Korean Peninsula between the 7th and 9th centuries.

Marado or Mara Island is an island 8 km (5.0 mi) off the south coast of Jeju, in southernmost South Korea, having an area of 0.3 km2(0.12 sq mi). It is home to about 90 people, and has long been known for its population being composed of strong women and docile men. Marado was originally uninhabited. It was known as Keumdo (금도,禁島), which means forbidden island. According to a Choson Ilbo article published by Lee Kyu-tae in 1967, the island was first occupied by a woman named Kim Seong-oh (김성오,金成五) and her brothers in 1880. As a poor peasant with no land to farm, Kim Seong-oh decided to move to the island when her father mentioned the island on his deathbed. So Kim left Jeju with her two brothers, farming tools, and some seeds. They had to circle the island around three times, because they couldn't find a place to dock their boat. After about 10 years, they were joined by two stranded fishermen from Torishima (도리섬,鳥島), in the Kingdom of Ryukyu. However, documents from Jeju county also had another story on Marado. According to this story, the first residents came to live on Marado in 1883. One Mr. Kim originally living in Daejeong gol, a small village in Jeju, ran through his all fortune. His relatives proposed to let them move to Marado. Sim Hyun Taek, pastor of Jeju at that time, permitted them to do so, and Marado became inhabited for the first time. After independence, it was administered by Gapa-ri, Daejeong-eup of Jeju, and registered as an independent township(ri) called Marari.

世宗特別自治市 Sejong (Korean pronunciation: [se(ː).dʑoŋ]; Hangul: 세종; Hanja: 世宗), officially Sejong Special Self-Governing City (Hangul: 세종특별자치시; Hanja: 世宗特別自治市) and formerly known as Yeongi (연기, 燕岐) County is South Korea's central administrative city. In early 2007, the South Korean government created a special administrative district from parts of South Chungcheong Province and North Chungcheong Province provinces, near Daejeon, to relocate nine ministries and four national agencies from Seoul. The new offices opened on 2 July 2012, with 36 government agencies slated to move there by 2015. Sejong was named in honor of the Joseon Dynasty King Sejong the Great, the father of Korea's national alphabet. The city was originally called Yeongi County (연기, 燕岐).
- In 2003, former President Roh Moo-hyun of the Democratic Party (now Minjoo Party of Korea) sought to relocate the national capital of South Korea from the metropolitan city of Seoul to a new multifunctional administrative city in the centre of the country. The goal was to reduce the influence and dominance of Seoul on national governance and economics, whilst promoting the regional development of other areas of the country.
- In October 2004, the Constitutional Court dealt a setback to President Roh's plans, ruling that the capital must remain in Seoul in response to a complaint filed by the main opposition Grand National Party (now Liberty Korea Party). As such, the Roh administration was forced to modify the project to relocate the majority of ministries and government institutes to Sejong, which would become a special administrative city instead of a new capital. The revised plan was approved by the parliament in March 2005. Challenges to the new plan were rejected by the Constitutional Court in November 2005. When the Conservative Grand National Party retook the presidential office in 2008, President Lee Myung-bak opposed the idea of moving government agencies, claiming that it would hurt the capital’s global competitiveness and result in inefficiency. Plans were made to make Sejong an industrial, science and education hub instead. This plan was opposed by many, including Roh’s allies and some members of the ruling Grand National Party, including Lee’s archrival and eventual successor Park Geun-hye.

Suwon (Hangul: 수원; Hanja: 水原, Korean pronunciation: [su.wʌn]) is the capital and largest metropolis of Gyeonggi-do, South Korea's most populous province which surrounds Seoul, the national capital. Suwon lies about 30 kilometres (19 miles) south of Seoul. It is traditionally known as "The City of Filial Piety". In ancient tribal times, Suwon was known as Mosu-guk (Hangul: 모수국). During the Three Kingdoms era, however, the area comprising modern Suwon and Hwaseong City was called Maehol-gun (매홀군). In 757, under King Gyeongdeok of the Unified Silla, the name was changed to Suseong-gun (수성군). In 940 during the Goryeo dynasty changed again in to Suju(수주). King Taejong of the Joseon dynastyrenamed the city to Suwon in 1413. In 1592, during the Imjin wars, Commander Yi Kwang attempted to launch his army toward the capital city, Seoul (at the time called Hanseong).[6] The army was withdrawn, however, after news that the city had already been sacked reached the commander. Later, during the Joseon Dynasty, King Jeongjo made an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to make Suwon the nation's capital in 1796. Part of this project was the construction of Hwaseong Fortress, a fortified wall running around the entire city partially intended to guard the tomb of his father, Prince Sado, which he had located there. The Korean War greatly affected Suwon, as the city changed hands four times. On December 16, 1950, the Greek Expeditionary Force relocated to Suwon, attached to the US 1st Cavalry Division. From November 6, 1951, the United States Air Force's top fighter pilot Gabby Gabreski was in charge of K-13 Air Base in Suwon. By the end of the war, Suwon was in South Korea. A memorial to the French military stands in Jangan-gu, near the Yeongdong Expressway's North Suwon exit.

- The Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation (Spanish: Foro de Cooperación Asia Oriental-América Latina) or (abbreviated as FEALAC) is a regional forum of 36 countries constituting the region of East, Southeast Asia and Latin America that came together to form an official and regular dialogue channel between the two regions.East Asia and Latin America are both composed of developing countries and are economically dynamic and complementary to each other. They follow the global trend of regional cooperation; the need for intercontinental cooperation between East Asia and Latin America arose because there was no official cooperative mechanism bridging the two regions. In 1998, a concrete proposal to enhance the relations of the two regions was initiated by the former Singporean Prime Minister Gho Chok Tong. Subsequently, the East Asia-Latin America Forum Senior Officials meeting was held in Singapore in 1999, marking the beginning of the organization.

- Park Chung-hee (Korean: [paktɕ͈ʌŋhi] 14 November 1917 – 26 October 1979) was aSouth Korean president, dictator and military general who led South Korea from 1961 until his assassination in 1979. Park seized power through the May 16 coup, a military coup d'état that overthrew theSecond Republic of South Korea in 1961 and ruled as a military strongman at the head of the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction until his election and inauguration as the President of the Third Republic of South Korea in 1963. In 1972, Park declared martial law and recast the constitution into a highly authoritarian document, ushering in the Fourth Republic of South Korea. After surviving several assassination attempts, including two operations associated with North Korea, Park was eventually assassinated on 26 October 1979 by Kim Jae-gyu, the chief of his own security services. He had led South Korea for 18 years. Park's first-born daughter, Park Geun-hye, is the current President of South Korea.
- Following the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the ambitious Park decided to enter the Changchun Military Academy of the Manchukuo Imperial Army, with help from Imperial Japanese Army Colonel Arikawa (a drill instructor at the teaching school in Daegu who was impressed by Park's military ambitions). During this time, he adopted the Japanese name Takagi Masao (高木正雄?). He graduated top of his class in 1942 (receiving a gold watch from Puyi himself) and was recognized as a talented officer by his Japanese instructors, who recommended him for further studies at the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in Japan.
- On 19 June 1961, the military council created the Korean Central Intelligence Agency in order to prevent counter-coups and to suppress all potential enemies, both foreign and domestic. Along with being given investigative powers, the KCIA was also given the authority to arrest and detain anyone suspected of wrongdoing or harboring anti-government sentiments. The KCIA would extend its power to economic and foreign affairs under its first director, retired Brigadier General Kim Jong-pil; a relative of Park and one of the original planners of the coup. President Yun remained in office, giving the military regime legitimacy. But after Yun resigned on 24 March 1962, Lt. General Park, who remained chairman of the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction, consolidated his power by becoming acting president; he was also promoted to full general. Park agreed to restore civilian rule following pressure from theKennedy administration. In 1963, he was elected president in his own right as the candidate of the newly createdDemocratic Republican Party. He narrowly defeated former President Yun, the candidate of the Civil Rule Party, by just over 156,000 votes—a margin of 1.5 percent. Park would be re-elected president in 1967, defeating Yun with somewhat less difficulty.

- Ban Ki-moon (Hangul: 반기문; Hanja: 潘基文; born 13 June 1944) is a South Korean diplomat who was the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations from January 2007 to December 2016. Before becoming Secretary-General, Ban was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. Ban was the foreign minister of South Korea from January 2004 to November 2006. Ban was appointed Ambassador to Austria and Slovenia in 1998, and a year later he was also elected as Chairman of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO PrepCom). During the negotiations, in what Ban considers the biggest blunder of his career, he included in a public letter a positive statement about the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2001, not long after the United States had decided to abandon the treaty. To avoid anger from the United States, Ban was fired by President Kim Dae-jung, who also issued a public apology for Ban's statement. Ban was unemployed for the only time in his career and was expecting to receive an assignment to work in a remote and unimportant embassy. In 2001, during the 56th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, South Korea held the rotating presidency, and to Ban's surprise, he was selected to be the chief of staff to general assembly president Han Seung-soo. In 2003, incoming president Roh Moo-hyun selected Ban as one of his foreign policy advisors.

- 安熙正（韓語：안희정，1965年5月1日－）Ahn Hee-jung, also known as An Hee-jung, was the former 36th and 37th Governor of Chungcheongnam-do Province, South Korea. He stepped down from his role as Governor and announced his retirement from public life after acknowledging accusations that he sexually assaulted his secretary on repeated occasions.Starting from January 1989, Ahn Hee-jung worked as an aide to lawmaker Kim Deok-ryong of the Reunification Democratic Party. On January 1, 1990, Kim Young-sam led the three-party-merger supported by seven political leaders: Lee Ki-taek; Kim Jeong-gil; Jang Seok-hwa; Park Chan-jong; Hong Sa-deok; Lee Chul and Rho Moo-hyun. However, Ahn did not join the move as he was against the three-party-merger in principal so instead he led the efforts to establish a new democratic party in 1990. The eighteen members of the Reunification Democratic Party including Ahn Hee-jung chose to remain in the newly established democratic party. And he worked as Secretary to Director General Lee Chul. As he became disillusioned with the negative sides of politics, he made his mind to quit politics. To further reflect on his decision, he chose to do daywork at the construction site of the Changwon Labor Welfare Center for two months. After Lawmaker Lee Chul took victory at the general election, he resigned as secretary and quit politics on April 4, 1992.In December 2003, he and Yeom Dong-yeon were indicted for receiving illegal campaign contributions from several businessmen. He was found guilty in an appeal court in September 2004 and was sentenced to one year in prison serving his term at the Seoul Detention Center. Ahn was concerned that his conviction might do harm to the President and declined any political titles during the participatory government to keep a distance from the politics.While looking for a job after his sentence, Ahn found himself rejected many times. However, with the permission of Chairman Kang Geum-won he took the advisory position at the Changshin Textile. 2007 Chairman Kang nominated Ahn as the Chairman of the Standing Committee which organized the Participatory Government Evaluation Forum. In the following year, he made a vow to inherit the political beliefs of two former Presidents: Kim Dae-jung and Rho Moo-hyun, and was elected as an executive committee member of the United Democratic Party. After being elected, he took a leading role in establishing the Better Democracy Research Institute which inherited the functions of the Local Autonomy Affairs Research Institute.

Choi Kyung-hwan, who took office as finance minister in July, has launched a $40bn stimulus package, warning of Japan-style stagnation taking hold in Asia’s fourth-largest economy. Propping up South Korea’s sluggish property market has been at the heart of Mr Choi’s expansionary economic policy, despite concerns that a bounce in home buying could further increase a household debt pile that is already among the world’s highest. Bank lending to households rose Won6.4tn in October to Won507.7tn, the biggest gain since the Bank of Korea began compiling the data in 2003, after the central bank cut interest rates twice to a four-year low of 2 per cent in 2014.

The deal could be announced as soon as Monday, and is likely to be worth about $6bn, a person close to the process said on Friday. The sale will end one of South Korea’s biggest inbound investment success stories — but one that also fell victim to the unpredictable regulatory environment widely seen as a key factor holding back further direct investment in the country. Tesco entered South Korea in 1999 on the heels of France’s Carrefour and Walmart of the US, as the world’s leading mass retailers charged into what had become recognised as one of the most lucrative consumer markets. Both those rivals pulled out of their struggling businesses in 2006, and were criticised by analysts for failing to customise their offerings to the local market.

Under the agreement, doctors who are licensed in South Korea, including plastic surgeons, can work in China for six months to a year. Some coastal cities in Northeast and East China that are near South Korea will be able to obtain advanced Korean medical techniques, drugs and equipment, and establish international health centers, experts said. The cities include Yanbian in Jilin province, Dalian in Liaoning province, and Yantai and Qingdao in Shandong province. Last year, construction began in Yantai on a Sino-South Korean "health park" that will offer cosmetic surgery, postnatal care and other services. On Monday, officials in Yantai signed an agreement with a medical instrument organization in Seoul covering cosmetic and medical services. In Weihai, another coastal city in Shandong, the Xinwa maternal and child care center, a Sino-South Korean health maintenance program, opened on Sunday. "We will mostly benefit from lower tariffs on postnatal nursing equipment. All of the equipment we use is made in South Korea," said Wang Jun, general manager at the center. He Dongliang is a well-known nasal plastic surgeon in Dalian who set up his own hospital. He studied in South Korea for a year. There are numerous plastic surgery hospitals in South Korea, and the quality of their work is uneven, but it is generally better than in China, he said. "Plastic surgeons in South Korea follow strict procedures and pay careful attention to detail. In China, some surgeries, such as making double-fold eyelids, can cost up to 1 million yuan ($161,300), which seems unreasonable.

- 青瓦台，韓國 時間之始 祝 勇 總統府，也是韓國 的權力中心。它位 於首爾舊市區北部 ，前臨景福宮，後 與仁旺山和北漢山 相連，是一個偌大 的院落，總統在這裏居住、辦公、會客、 宴請。早年這裏曾是一座古建築 「景武台 」，上世紀七十年代總統遷入後，大興土 木，屋頂被青色琉璃瓦覆蓋，故得現名。 青瓦台於韓國人，既是一個莊重的地方， 又是一個不平靜的場所。韓國現任總統文在寅去年五月當選後 宣布，條件具備後，他將搬出青瓦台，選 擇另一個地點辦公。改變韓國民眾對青瓦 台的愛恨交織，也許文在寅能帶來一股新 風。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20180906/PDF/b8_screen.pdf
青南台是總統的休養地，本來由士兵把守，並不對外開放，但到本世紀初盧武鉉總統執政時期，決定交由地方管理，允許民眾參觀，我們也有機會前往。時間已過十幾年，現就記憶所及簡單介紹一下。青南台別墅是一座灰色的建築，二層樓，有居室、會客室、餐廳、娛樂室，但可以看到，餐桌、沙發等傢具都顯得比較老舊，可能是年代久遠，一年只用幾次的緣故。據說青南台落成三十多年，使用加起來只有一年的時間。總統來休養地，主要在夏天或春秋。據介紹，盧泰愚總統在一九九二年八月中韓建交前曾來這裏，深入思考判斷朝鮮半島和國際形勢，之後做出與中國建交的決斷。金泳三總統一九九四年八月曾來這裏，居住幾天，深入思考國內金融面臨的問題，之後大膽做出實施金融實名制的決策，而這個問題已討論多年，久拖不決。金大中總統二○○○年六月前往平壤訪問，會見當時的朝鮮最高領導人金正日之前，曾來這裏居住，深入思考決斷與出訪有關的問題。青南台整體結構幾十年沒有大的變化，但根據每位總統的特點，也進行了局部改造。金泳三總統每天晨練，主要是跑步，因此庭院裏專門修建了塑膠步道，為他跑步之用。金大中總統患有腿疾，行動稍有不便，因此專門安裝了電梯，便於他上樓下樓。室外不遠處還修建了一個直升機停機坪，也是為了總統從首爾前來這裏的便利。青南台庭院管理甚為精細，各種花草、樹木上百種，修枝剪葉，爭奇鬥艷，好似一個大花園。我們去時看到，民眾絡繹不絕地前來參觀，形成小小的人流。人們在參觀之餘，還可以在庭院散步休息，欣賞院中的美景。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20180910/PDF/b8_screen.pdf

The country’s birth rate, already the lowest in the OECD, is in freefall. Only 406,000 babies were born last year, down from 867,000 in 1981. In the first three months of this year the birth rate was down 12 per cent year on year. By 2031, South Korea’s population is expected to be in decline. “As the elderly population increases and the working population declines, the economy is going to shrink considerably,” says Lee Sam-sik, head of the Ageing Society Research Institute at Hanyang University. “The burden on young people will be huge post-2030, when the baby boom generation becomes senior citizens [and stops working],” he adds, pointing out that South Korea’s baby boom came about 10 years after the west’s because of the Korean war.

- Buncheong ware, or Punch'ong, is a form of traditional Korean stoneware, with a bluish-green tone. Pots are coated with a white slip, and decorative designs are painted on using an iron pigment.Buncheong is a modern term used to describe Korean stoneware produced from the late 14th century and continued today. Buncheong ware developed from the earlier Goryeo celadon inlay technique called sanggam and rapidly distinguished itself. The style emerged in the early Joseon dynasty, largely replacing the style of celadon in common use. In contrast to the refined elegance of Goryeo celadon, buncheong is designed to be natural, unassuming, and practical.[3] However, it all but disappeared from Korea after the 16th century due to the popularity of Joseon white porcelain.粉青沙器（ふんせいさき）は、朝鮮半島で、李氏朝鮮時代の前半、15世紀を中心に作られた磁器の一種である。鉄分の多い陶土に肌理細かい白土釉で化粧掛けを施し、透明釉を掛けて焼造した。本来は、粉粧灰青沙器の略語。高麗時代末期の14世紀半ばに発祥し、15世紀に最盛期を迎え、16世紀前半には消滅して、その後の朝鮮王朝の磁器は李朝白磁が主体となった[1]。

- literature
- 春香伝（しゅんこうでん、チュニャンヂョン）は李氏朝鮮時代の説話で、妓生の娘と両班の息子の身分を越えた恋愛を描いた物語。18世紀頃、民族音楽的語り物であるパンソリの演目「春香歌」として広まるとともに、小説化も行われた。韓国では現在も人気のある作品であり、映画化も何度か行われている。中国の唐時代から続く「才子佳人小説」の系譜に属する。口伝によって伝承されて来たものが、18世紀李朝19代王粛宗から22代王正祖の頃に物語として成立していたと見られる。19世紀純祖の代に申在孝が パンソリ「春香歌」として脚色して広く演じられ、当時の詩人の申緯、玉山張之琬、趙在三などが観劇について書いている。また『烈女春香守節歌』『春香伝』 『水山広寒楼記』『南原古詞』など、多数の小説が記され、基本的なあらすじは共通ながら、漢文によるもの、ハングルによるもの、英語訳のものなどがあり、 文体も説話体や韻文体があり、性的描写が濃厚なものなど、異本によってさまざまな形がある。春香の行動も、儒教的な貞節を強調するものから身分を越えた愛 とするものまで多様な解釈が可能なバリエーションを持っている。
legend
- origin of kim family
- Gim Al-ji (김알지, 金閼智; 65-?) was a historical figure in Korean history. His descendents formed the Gim royal clan of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. His legendary birth is said to have occurred during the reign of Silla's fourth ruler, King Talhae of Silla. Though Gim Al-ji did not rule as King of Silla, his descendants did. Today, 1.7 million South Koreans are in the Gyeongju Gim clan, who trace their genealogy to Gim Al-ji. The Samguk Yusa and Samguk Sagi both contain nearly the same story about Gim Al-ji's birth. In the year 65 (9th year of Talhae's reign), King Talhae heard a rooster crowing in Sirim, west of Geumseong (Gyeongju, the Silla capital at the time). He sent his minister, Hogong, who was from Japan, to investigate, whereupon Hogong found a golden box hanging on a branch. Light was emanating from the box, and a white rooster was crowing under it. Hearing this report, the king ordered the box brought to him. When the king opened the box, there was an infant inside. The king was very pleased and reared him. Because he was born from a golden box and was very clever, the king named him "Gim (金, meaning gold) Al-ji (meaning gold in native korean, with the hanja 閼智 supposed to be read phonetically)". The forest where the box was found was named Gyerim (rooster forest), which also was used as the name of Silla. This legend is similar to the birth legend of the founder of Silla, Bak Hyeokgeose of Silla (who is said to have called himself Al-ji Geoseogan). Modern interpreters have suggested that the Gim Al-ji may have been the chief of a "gold" (al) clan of northern Korea/Manchuria.

The Unification Flag is a flag designed to represent all of Korea when North and South Korea participate as one team in sporting events. The background is white. In the center there is a blue silhouette of the Korean peninsula, including Jeju Island to the southwest and Ulleungdo and the Liancourt Rocks to the east, added in 2006.[1] The flag has no status as an official flag in either country. The flag was first used in 1991 when the two countries competed as a single team in the 41st World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba, Japan and the 8th World Youth Football Championship in Lisbon, Portugal. The two countries' teams marched together under the flag in the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia; the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea; the 2003 Summer Universiade in Daegu, South Korea;[2] the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece; the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy; and the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar; however, the two countries competed separately in sporting events. The flag was not used in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Not only was a unified team shelved, even Beijing Olympics Organization Committee (BOCOG)'s plan to make the two Korean teams turn up back to back during the opening ceremony was rejected due to opposition by the North Korean delegation at the last moment. The unification flag is to be used again as the two nations march together at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.統一旗（とういつき）あるいは朝鮮半島旗（ちょうせんはんとうき）は、朝鮮の国家統一を象徴して、大韓民国（韓国）と朝鮮民主主義人民共和国（北朝鮮）が、スポーツ大会などで単一「コリア」チームを形成するなど、共同で活動する際に用いられる旗。朝鮮半島の南北両国は、1964年の東京オリンピックにおいて単一チームを構成するため、1963年にスイスのローザンヌで南北体育会談を開催した。

- [precarious belongings] joseonjok fled to china to escape colonialial oppression or to join the korean independence movement in early 20th c. Most of them resided in the yenbian autonomous korean prefecture, but since the 1900s many have migrated to other parts of the world (including south korea)
- https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/society/article/3009651/hard-lives-south-koreas-chinese-joseon-jok-community-who-face By 1920, there were more than 457,000 Koreans in northeast China. However, when South Korea’s economy began to boom in the 1990s, they began moving back. There are approximately 700,000 Joseon-jok in South Korea. Many of them who live in Seoul stay within the Chinatown neighbourhoods of Daerim-dong and Garibong-dong.In Daerim-dong’s Chinatown, there are no Starbucks or McDonald’s. Instead of the branded markets or department stores, a sprawling outdoors market sells an array of food and household items. In the crowded residential areas, rubbish is strewn outside buildings, something despised by Koreans generally. "even if we spoke Chinese and ate Chinese food back in China, we still identified as Joseon-jok,” Yeon explains. “Koreans think of us as ‘overseas Koreans’ but we want to just be Koreans.”
- Koreans in Japan (在日韓国人・在日本朝鮮人・朝鮮人 Zainichi-Kankoku-Jin or Zainihonchosenjin or Chōsen-jin) comprise ethnic Koreans who have permanent residency status in Japan, or who have become Japanese citizens, and whose immigration to Japan originated before 1945, or who are descendents of those immigrants. They are a distinct group from South Korean nationals who have emigrated to Japan after the end of World War II and the division of Korea.They currently constitute the second largest ethnic minority group in Japan after Chinese immigrants.[2] The majority of Koreans in Japan are Zainichi Koreans (在日韓国人 Zainichi Kankokujin), often known simply as Zainichi (在日, "Japan resident"), who are the permanent ethnic Korean residents of Japan. The term "Zainichi Korean" refers only to long-term Korean residents of Japan who trace their roots to Korea under Japanese rule, distinguishing them from the later wave of Korean migrants who came mostly in the 1980s,[3] and from pre-modern immigrants dating back to antiquity who may themselves be the ancestors of the Japanese People. The Japanese word "Zainichi" itself means a foreign citizen "staying in Japan" and implies temporary residence.[5] Nevertheless, the term "Zainichi Korean" is used to describe settled permanent residents of Japan, both those who have retained either their Joseon or South Korean/North Korean nationalities, and even sometimes, but not always, includes Japanese citizens of Korean descent who acquired Japanese nationality by naturalization or by birth from one or both parents who have Japanese citizenship.
- china
- Chaoxianzu (Chinese: 朝鲜族), Joseonjok or Chosŏnjok (Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선족) form one of the 56 ethnicities officially recognized by the Chinese government. The South Korean media of the 1990s referred to Koreans in China as jungguk-in (Hangul: 중국인; Hanja: 中國人, "Chinese people"). Government regulations in 2004 mandated the use of the term jaeoe dongpo (Hangul: 재외동포; Hanja: 在外同胞, "compatriots who live abroad"). Similarly friendly terms include hanguk gye jungguk-in (Hangul: 한국계 중국인; Hanja: 韓國系中國人; "Chinese people of Korean descent") or jungguk dongpo (Hangul: 중국동포; Hanja: 中國同胞, compatriots in China). However, the common term in South Korea is joseon-jok (Hangul: 조선족; Hanja: 朝鮮族, "Joseon person"), which Koreans from China criticised for being a less friendly term than those for other overseas Koreans like Korean Americans (jaemi gyopo, 在美僑胞 "compatriots in America") or Koreans in Japan (jaeil gyopo, 在日僑胞 "compatriots in Japan").

Greaves consisted of 58.5 acres and hosted the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry. The soldiers stationed at Camp Greaves were in "Stands Alone" country across Freedom Bridge. Its primary mission was to to act in concert with our Korean allies to deter aggression, and, should deterrence fail, to defend the Republic of Korea. The population of the camp was approximately 730, with 700 of that being US Military personnel and 10 being civilians employed by the Department of the Army, and the remaining 20 being listed as "Other." Camp Greaves was located near Camp Howze and 1.5 miles from DMZ. Camp Greaves was 38 miles from Seoul. Its climate features included, on average, summers between 80 and 90 oF, winters between -5 and 30 oF, and 40-48" of rain during a rainy season between July and August.

More than 552 people from Yemen arrived on the southern resort island of Jeju between January and May, more than the 430 Yemenis who had ever applied for refugee status in South Korea, the ministry said. The country has granted refugee status to just over 800 people since 1994. The sudden surge in Yemeni arrivals has fueled concern that many could be seeking economic advantage rather than protection and that they could lead to an increase in crime and other social problems.More than 540,000 South Koreans have signed an online petition to the presidential Blue House in the past two weeks, asking the government to abolish or amend no-visa entries and the granting of refugee status to applicants. The Justice Ministry said it will revise the Refugee Act to prevent abuses.

Esmail Alqublani, a journalist who sought refuge on Jeju in May, says he has only experienced kindness from locals on what he calls an “island of humanity”. With coiffed hair and a tidy blue shirt, Mr Alqublani presents a jarring image for South Koreans, many of whom say the Yemenis do not appear like war-ravaged refugees. The explanation, said Mr Sada’a, is simple: only those with extra income can afford to leave the decimated Arab nation. Like hundreds of other Yemenis, the computer programmer initially left for Djibouti before flying on to Malaysia where he could stay visa-free for three months. During that period Air Asia opened a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Jeju, which then operated a broad visa-waiver policy to encourage tourism. In the space of two months before the Jeju government removed Yemen from the list of nations eligible for the waiver, more than 500 citizens landed on the island and claimed refugee status. Most of the group has now been granted a six-month window to stay in Jeju while their claims are assessed. They have been forbidden from leaving the island, although the local government has offered some employment on farms and in fisheries. Much of the issue now is what happens at the end of their grace period. This uncertainty has exacerbated concerns on all sides. The country’s justice ministry on Friday took a hardline stance on the issue, saying it would revise the Refugee Act to prevent “the abuse of the refugee system for economic purposes.” For his part, President Moon Jae-in — himself the son of refugees from North Korea — has remained quiet on the issue. - 也門難民之所以在今年激增，部分原因是馬來西亞給予難民九十天的免簽入境待遇，加上從馬國到濟州島的廉價直通航班服務開通，不少人遂將吉隆坡當作「跳板」。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180713/00192_001.html
- South Korea has denied refugee status but granted temporary stay permits to hundreds of Yemeni asylum seekers who arrived on the southern island of Jeju this year, the Ministry of Justice announced on Wednesday. More than 500 Yemenis sought refugee in South Korea between January and May, having fled the war that has engulfed their homeland. The influx of asylum seekers to South Korea - which has only granted refugee status to 839 of 40,470 applicants from various countries since 1994, not including defectors from North Korea - sparked a backlash and led to the government tightening immigration laws in June. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-yemen-refugees/south-korea-denies-refugee-status-to-yemeni-asylum-seekers-idUSKCN1MR123
- Weeks after South Korea denied refugee status to almost 400 Yemenis living on Jeju Island, the region’s first Yemeni restaurant opened on Tuesday. The restaurant, named Wardah, which means flower in Arabic, is located on the northern coast of the island and offers a glimmer of hope that food may become a bridge between two cultures. Over the past few months, the nation has weathered a surge in anti-Yemeni and anti-Muslim sentiment after nearly 500 Yemenis seeking asylum arrived in the southern island province earlier this year.

- 蔚山倭城是日本侵略朝鮮半島的見證，該場中國稱為「萬曆朝鮮之役」的戰爭，由當時日本實際統治者、關白豐臣秀吉發動，中國明神宗應李氏朝鮮請求派兵支援。日本於一五九二年及一五九七年舉兵入侵，第一次雙方議和休戰，第二次則以豐臣秀吉病逝、日軍撤退為終結。蔚山圍城戰是其中最慘烈的戰役。至今在南韓東南沿岸，仍有多個倭城遺址。倭城結構上與韓式城堡有明顯分別，軍事用途較為明顯。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20171223/00180_010.html- http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20170511/00192_001.html文在寅和朴槿惠產生衝突的重要根源，是兩人及其背後黨派對日本的態度截然相反。韓國曾有一段被日本殖民統治的苦難歷史，後來南韓國民對日本有兩種不同態度，大部分南韓人對日持敵視態度，但也有部分人不但不仇視日本，反而對日採取友好合作態度，這部分人或受美國影響，或是日本殖民統治時期的受益者。朴槿惠的父親、南韓前總統朴正熙就是後者，而文在寅和他的政治密友、前總統盧武鉉則是對日強硬派。二○○二年盧武鉉當選總統，然而僅兩年之後，盧就遭到國會彈劾停職，朴槿惠正是策劃彈劾案的骨幹之一。○四年五月，憲法法院否決了彈劾議案，盧恢復職務。此後，盧武鉉政府開始清算，通過了《親日反民族行為者財產歸屬特別法》，調查和清理親日派的財產，編列親日人名辭典，其中就包括朴正熙。○八年二月，盧武鉉任期結束，與朴槿惠同黨同派的李明博上台。李明博隨即展開對盧武鉉受賄案的調查，導致盧在壓力下自殺身亡。作為盧武鉉的親信，文在寅與朴槿惠的鬥爭並未停止，兩人在一二年的總統選舉中直接對決，儘管文在寅落敗，但他並未認輸，一直伺機東山再起。朴槿惠執政時期，南韓對日全面和解，兩國簽署多項合作協議，特別簽訂《軍事情報保護協定》，使兩國軍事合作進一步密切，成為事實上的軍事盟國。此外，兩國還就慰安婦問題達成協議，日本向南韓道歉和賠償，南韓則承諾不再提及此問題。

The extension of the eight-year-old deal had been seen as a yardstick for relations between the two neighbours, which have frayed over Seoul’s deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence despite Beijing’s opposition. South Korean officials said talks were continuing with China about renewing the deal, although experts remained sceptical about the possibility of resuming the swap.

By all appearances Garibong-dong would seem a multiculturalism success story. But the neighbourhood is mostly avoided by South Koreans, due to its perceived ghettoisation and high crime rate. "South Koreans have prejudice against us because Korean-Chinese people have caused some serious trouble in the past," said Kim Sook-ja, who moved to Korea from Yanbian prefecture in 2003 to join her mother-in-law.

- 全國政協副主席梁振英近日應韓國邀請到當地訪問3天，其間向政商界介紹了香港「一國」和「兩制」的雙重優勢，可在「一帶一路」國際合作倡議，和粵港澳大灣區發展中擔當重要的「超級聯繫人」角色，以及區域內各地「分享合作成果」的機遇。梁振英在11月30日抵達韓國首爾，分別與韓國外交部長康京和，及國會議長丁世均會面。在和康京和會面時，他向韓國外長介紹了香港在「一帶一路」國際合作倡議和粵港澳大灣區發展中的作用。在和丁世均會面時，大家就一起「話當年」。原來，丁世均擔任國會議員前，經常因公務到訪香港，並經香港轉飛其他地方，故他對香港非常熟悉。他笑言，自己返回韓國時，旅行箱都放滿在港購買的物品。另一位與會的前國會副議長朴炳錫曾在香港工作和居住過5年，可以用流利的普通話親切交談。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2017/12/03/a10-1203.pdf

- http://paper.wenweipo.com/2015/01/19/FI1501190023.htm 國際快時尚巨頭來港設立旗艦店，賣衫賺錢之外，還希望藉香港拓展大中華市場。然而凡事有例外，韓國最大時裝品牌衣戀集團（The E-land Group），在扎根內地20年後，才「忽然間」想到香港，近日首次引入的三個品牌更選址非傳統遊客區荃灣，擺明做本地人生意。扎根內地20餘年，朴聖敬深明做生意最重要有人脈。集團今次成功進軍香港，也有貴人相助，說的是新世界發展（0017）榮譽主席鄭裕彤的長孫鄭志剛。與大部分外國品牌一樣，朴聖敬初時來香港選址時，也考慮過港島和九龍旺市商場，但理想舖位不是租金太貴就是「已被租出」，最終由鄭志剛牽線，落戶新世界發展於荃灣的愉景新城商場，開業三天顧客超過10萬人次。

- http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/entertainment/art/20150812/19251748由李英愛、宋承憲主演的穿越劇《師任堂》前日正式開拍，早前有指愛姐每集收近3億韓圜（約200萬港元）的酬勞，若以合共播出20集為例，愛姐一人已穩袋4,000萬港元，不過因為有愛姐孭飛，所以劇集未開拍已引來亞洲各地以高價預先購買版權，認真犀利。
昨日韓國方面就指英皇娛樂（韓國）近日與《師任堂》製作公司GROUP8簽約，並投資近8,000萬港元。英皇娛樂（韓國）方面表示：「本次投資是與SBS共同製作，能夠與韓流中心人物李英愛及宋承憲共同書寫韓流的新歷史，感到十分榮幸。」 - 大公報記者專赴韓國首爾，實地走訪乘 「韓風」而來的港人民宿投資者。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20141110/PDF/a15_screen.pdf
