BROADCASTED ON ARIRANG CHANNEL KOREA.
It gives me pleasure to share my experience regarding dynamic Korea. When I heard the term dynamic Korea for the first time, I really wanted to discover the fact behind this term. Thanks to KOIS (Korean Overseas Information Service) which organized a tour for overseas students under the Ministry of Culture and Information. The purpose of this tour was to assist foreign students better understand Korea and to disseminate information about Korea. Fortunately I joined this tour and explored the rich history, culture, beauty as well as the dynamic development of Korea.
On July 3, 2007, we gathered in Seoul and left for Gyeong-ju by bus. On our way to Gyeongju I learned about partition of Korea by watching a popular Korean movie (tai guk gi). Upon our arrival to Gyeong-ju we went to Gyeongju National Museum, which gave me abundant knowledge of Silla dynasty (57 BC - 935 AD). The museum contains considerable number of relics of the Silla kingdom. My visit to Anapji (an artificial pond in Gyeongju National Park), Cheomseongdae and Royal burial mounds intensified my knowledge about great Silla dynasty. Especially I was glad to visit one of the oldest surviving astronomical observatories in East Asia called Cheomseongdae -- which proves the scientific work of Silla kingdom. We went to Shilla Milleniuk Park for accommodation. After dinner we watched an incredible live performance in Silla Millenium Park. This performance plays a pivotal role in enriching my understanding about Silla dynasty. At the end of first day I learned more than I expected about Korea.
On the next day we went to Pohang by bus. We took ferry from Pohang to Ulleungdo Island. It took around 4 hours to reach Ulleungdo Island. After taking lunch we took another ferry to Dokdo. Dokdo islets belong to South Korea from records that date back to the sixth century during the unified Silla period and was officially incorporated into
modern Ulleung county in 1900. South Korea currently controls these islets by the name of Dokdo but it is also claimed by Japan where it is known as Takeshima. We climbed to top of the rock with flags of dynamic Korea in our hands. We stayed there around one hour and enjoyed the awesome beauty of Dokdo. We raised flags of dynamic Korea and proved these Solitary islands to be in Korean territory. We went back to Ulleungdo for accommodation in Dae-A resort. At the end of second day I explored the natural beauty of South Korea and learned about the history of Dokdo.
On the third day we attended a lecture about the history of Dokdo. Various historical evidences were presented to prove that Dokdo belongs to South Korea. Furthermore we went back to Pohang by ferry and from Pohang to Golgulsa by bus. My stay at Golgulsa was an unforgettable experience for me where I practiced different ways of meditation. Golgulsa also called Stone Buddha Temple is situated 20km east of Gyeongju and is the only cave temple in Korea. I learned about Buddhism and the life style of monks. We took our dinner at the temple and slept early, because we had to get up at 4:30 am- according to temple rules. The next day we got up at 4:30 am and went to temple where we practiced Yebul and walking meditation. A demonstration regarding Sunmudo was given to us. On the top of it, I practiced Sunmudo (a buddhist martial art) by myself and experienced the monk's lifestyle at temple. On the same day we traveled to Pohang Iron and Steel Company POSCO- the third largest steel producer in the world. We visited POSCO museum and learned about the enormous technological growth of POSCO and its influence on the world. POSCO was our last spot. Finally we returned to Seoul and all participants went back home with great pleasure and considerable information about Korea.
Once and for all I would express my extreme gratitude to KOIS which gave me the opportunity of learning and exploring the dynamic Korea. The three days tour will last for ever in my life.
I love Korea!!! |

America Comes of Age - The Korean War
Like Lambs to the Slaughter
US defense spending had reached a modern day low. The military was ill-prepared and ill-equipped, those in authority embraced questionable doctrines.
From a post World War II soft life in Japan, with servants to wash their clothes and shine their boots, these American youth were suddenly uprooted and flung into harm's way. There was no "Remember Pearl Harbor."
The North Korean People's Army was on a roll. The North Korean People's Army had invaded the Republic of Korea in South Korea only 11 days earlier and overwhelmed the ill-equipped Republic of Korea armed forces. The North Korean People's Army steamrolled into Seoul, driving refugees and regrouping Republic of Korea Army units before it, clogging roads and throwing the countryside into a panic.
The invasion caught General Douglas MacArthur and his Far East Command and Eighth Army by surprise, despite recent intelligence reports that North Korea was planning for an attack on the Republic of Korea. General MacArthur had disregarded the reports, saying he did not believe war with North Korea was imminent.
The events that unfolded on the Korean peninsula some 45 years ago offer a telling reminder of what happens when a force goes to war unprepared. Disaster lurks around every bend.
Facing a force of 130,000 NKP soldiers, 3,000 Soviet advisors, a full array of heavy weapons, aircraft and the formidable T-34/85, arguably the best tank to come out of World War II.
American GIs fought bravely at times. At other times when confronted with overwhelming, numerically superior forces, they "bugged-out" to the rear, cursing their government for sending them to this stinking, God-forsaken place where human feces were used to fertilize the land.

The Bell of King Seongdeok(Korean: 성덕대왕신종, 聖德大王神鐘) is the largest extant bell in Korea and one of the largest in the world. The full Korean name means "Divine Bell of King Seongdeok the Great."
It was also known as the Bell of Bongdeoksa Temple, where it was first housed. It is commonly known to Koreans as the Emille Bell(Korean; 에밀레종, Emille, pronounced "em-ee-leh," is an ancient term from Silla Kingdom(57 BCE -- 935 CE), for "mommy.") According to legend, when the bell was first cast, it would not ring. So it was melted down again and the priest of the temple for which the bell was being made was told in a dream that if a baby was cast into the metal the bell would ring. When the bell was recast and struck, it produced the sound of "em-ee-leh", like the cries of the sacrificed baby.
The bell was commissioned by King Gyeongdeok of Silla (reigned 742 - 765) to honor and his father King Seongdeok the Great(reigned 702 -- 737). However, the bell was not completely cast until the reign of King Hyegong(reigned 765 - 780), the son of King Gyeondeok, in 771 CE.
It was designated as the 29th national treasure of Korea on December 12, 1962. It measures 3.33 meters high, 2.27 meters in diameter, and 11 to 25 centimeters in wall thickness. According to the scientific research which was made in 1980s, the notes could be heard 37.2 miles away on a clear day. The bell weighs 27.8 tons.
The Bell was hung in the belfry of Bong-Deok-Sa Temple until 1460, when the Temple was destroyed of flood. Later the bell was moved to the belfry of Yeongmyosa Temple until it was destroyed by a huge fire in 1506. After that, the Bell was housed in the watchtower of Gate of Gyeongju City Walls until the early 20th century. The bell is now stored in the National Museum of Gyeongju since 1915.
The bell is considered a masterpiece of Silla art. It is unique among Korean bronze bells because it has a hollow tube that controls its sound. The hook of the bell is in the shape of a dragon's head. There are many relief patterns on the bell. There are flower patterns along the rim and shoulder. There are also reliefs of lotus flowers, grass reliefs, and a pair of two Apsarases (Heavenly Maidens of Buddha, Korean; 비천, See the third Photo in the Video). The striking point of the bell (Dang-Jwha, Korean; 당좌) is also in the shape of a lotus and sits between two of the heavenly maiden reliefs. The bottom of the bell is in a rhombic shape which gives it a unique look not found in other bells of East Asia.
The inscriptions on the bell, over a thousand Chinese characters, are fine example of East Asian calligraphy and carving and they provide detailed information about the bell and why it was cast.
The bell was rung at every 6 o'Clock in the morning until 1993, but for the Preservation, it is now rung only for special days (i.e; New Year's Day).
This Recording was recorded in the 1960s by Dr. Gyu-Dong Cho of Korea University for a scientific research. and later issued as a 45rpm album named 'Bells of Korea'
(Of course, there are many other modern Hi-Fi Recordings of the Bell, but as my channel is specialized on 78rpm & other vintage recordings, I used the old mono recording in this.)
At the end of this Slide Shows, I put some of my private photos which I took during my travel to Gyeongju, in August 2006.
And.....I wish a Happy New Year to All of You! |

konglish - the use of asian syllables/alphabets to make english words.
in the national museum, there's an exhibition on hangeul, the korean alphabet, and its superiority in making english words.
first, their koreanization of the japanese "hanbaga" is wrong, they write it "haengbawgaw" in korean. second, some of the korean romanizations have been printed incorrectly in english, such as "enguland" - should be "engulanduh" third, why would you be so proud of something this gay? "we are the best at speaking english incorrectly! in all the pacific rim!" kinda like "hey, we just won the special olympics!" |

Filmed at the National Folk Museum in Seoul. "Arirang" is arguably the most popular and best-known Korean folk song, both inside and outside Korea. Arirang is an ancient native Korean word with no direct modern meaning. 'Ari' means "beautiful" (For example 아리따운 native Korean word means "beautiful", "lovely", "charming") 'Rang' can mean "dear". Because of those words, arirang could be interpreted to mean "beautiful dear".

Multiple rocket launchers used in battle over 500 years ago. History and explanation with a modern demonstration of the ancient
Chinese bees-nest rocket launcher, by model maker Richard Windley.
A multiple rocket launcher, dating from 1400 AD, is shown at the War Memorial Museum in Seoul, Korea. Interview with Dr. Yeon-Seok Chae.
Rockets used by Chinese against the Mongols in 1232 during the battle of Kai-Keng.
Tseng Kung-Liang, an official of the Chinese goverment, penned a comprehensive account of gunpowder's application to weapons in 1045 (Song Dynasty, 960-1279)
It was called "Wu-ching Tsung-yao" (Complete Compendium of Military Classics), and it detailed the use of ballistic fire arrows.
The first writings on this in the west is found in the military writings of al-Hasan al-Rammah (1285), when Arabs began using gunpowder propelled fire arrows in combat. |
