ARIRANG NEWS 18:00 Welcome to our newscast. I′m Daniel Choy. Two Koreas resume high-level meeting after adjournment The two Koreas have resumed their high-level meeting, which was adjourned in the early hours this Sunday without yielding any substantial results. For the latest details, we connect to our presidential office correspondent Choi You-sun . You-sun, have officials from Seoul and Pyongyang returned to the negotiating table? South Korea′s presidential office has confirmed that the two sides restarted talks at around 3:30 p.m. at the truce village of Panmunjom, which is about two-and-a-half hours ago. The South′s top security adviser Kim Kwan-jin and Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo are now engaged in a two-plus-two meeting with North Korea′s top military official Hwang Pyong-so and ruling party secretary Kim Yang-gon. At around 5 a.m. this morning, President Park Geun-hye′s spokesperson Min Kyung-wook read from a statement prepared by the two Koreas, saying the high-level meeting, which began more than 10 hours earlier, had been adjourned. The spokesperson said Seoul and Pyongyang discussed a wide range of issues during the meeting to improve and develop inter-Korean relations, including ways to defuse tensions escalated by the recent exchange of artillery fire between the South and the North. The ongoing tensions in the region obviously dominated the talks. You-sun, what are the key differences that the two sides....can′t seem to agree on? For starters, Seoul is demanding that Pyongyang apologize for the recent land mine blast in the Demilitarized Zone that left two South Korean soldiers seriously injured. Seoul is also seeking Pyongyang′s apology for the latest artillery fire that triggered the escalation of tensions, as well as a promise of preventive measures. North Korea denies responsibility for both incidents and wants the South to stop its anti-Pyongyang broadcasts, which resumed after the land mine incident. The two sides may exchange views on non-military issues, such as resuming reunions of families separated by the Korean War. It′s likely North Korea will urge the South to stop its annual military exercises with the U.S., which it considers to be part of war games, and seek ways to resume inter-Korean tourism and other economic projects that were suspended after a series of Pyongyang′s provocations. It′s difficult to predict whether the meeting of the two sides will bring about a substantial outcome. However, it′s worth noting that they came to the negotiating table amid tensions, and rather than walking out of the meeting, agreed to adjourn and meet again to narrow their differences. Pyongyang has also displayed a will to renew dialogue with Seoul, by sending Hwang Pyong-so, known to be North Korean leader Kim Jong-un′s top military aide. It′s also the first time Seoul and Pyongyang are holding ministerial-level talks in nearly eight years. That′s all I have for now. Choi You-sun reporting from South

Our top story this morning... North Korea has warned that it will take further military action if South Korea continues to broadcast anti－Pyongyang material across the border. Pyongyang on Thursday said Seoul had 48 hours to power down the loudspeakers. The threat came a matter of hours after the North attempted to fire on one of the speakers. South Korea retaliated by firing artillery rounds back the other way. For a wrap－up of the day′s events，... Kim Hyun－bin reports. It was 3：53 p.m. and 4：12 p.m. on Thursday when North Korea fired several artillery shells across the border targeting South Korea′s propaganda loudspeakers right along the military demarcation line. Seoul’s defense ministry announced earlier Thursday that a shell firing was picked up on radar moving towards the South′s western front，... but that there were no reports of damage. An hour or so after the attack， the South Korean military responded with tens of 155mm artillery rounds at the origin of attack. ″Our military has up its security condition to the highest level and looking for any unusual movements from North Korea. We will strongly counter any future provocation from the North.″ The ministry said an evacuation order was issued for nearby areas， and more than two thousand residents were evacuated. Even the highest alert， Jindogae－1， was issued along some parts of the border. North Korea′s general staff department warned that South Korea has 48 hours to stop broadcasting anti－Pyongyang messages or it will take strong military action. In a separate letter， North Korea′s ruling Workers′ Party secretary Kim Yang－Gon urged the head of South Korea′s National Security Office， Kim Kwan－jin， to halt all propaganda broadcasts， calling the messages a declaration of war. The letter also said North Korea would make efforts to improve inter－Korean ties if the South shuts down the loudspeakers. But South Korea′s defense ministry says it has no plans to stop the broadcasts. North Korea has refused to admit or apologize for recent landmine explosions in the DMZ that severely injured two South Korean soldiers. The incident drove the South to resume the broadcasts for the first time in eleven years. Since then North Korea has demanded that the South tear down its loudspeakers or risk indiscriminate attacks as a consequence. Kim Hyun－bin， Arirang News.

North Korea' s top leader Kim Jong-un has ordered his country's frontline forces to enter the state of war from 5pm local time Friday. The move came one day after the two sides of the Korean peninsula exchanged fire across their border. The shelling tightened the already tense situation between the two Koreas. North Korea tends to issue harsh warnings against joint U.S.-South Korea military drills and exercises. This time around, the warning was directed at propaganda broadcastings from the South. The North described the propaganda broadcasting as "a direct action of declaring war" and threatened to strike the loudspeakers down.

And it seems that the world is keenly watching whether the two Koreas will be able to ease tensions this time around. For more， let′s go live to our Hwang Sung－hee at the unification ministry. Sung－hee， UN Secretary General Ban Ki－moon called on the Koreas to diffuse tensions？ That′s right， Daniel. The UN chief， through a statement on Saturday， welcomed the high－level talks between the two Koreas and encouraged both sides to use the opportunity to pave the way for de－escalating tensions on the peninsula. Secretary Ban called on the parties to redouble efforts to resolve their differences through dialogue while refraining from taking any unnecessary measures. Foreign press are also closely following the marathon talks. The Washington Post reported that the resumption of talks for a second day have temporarily eased concerns about tensions on the peninsula. The Associated Press said it′s still uncertain whether the two Koreas will be able to diplomatically resolve tensions which it views as being the highest in recent years. Some Japanese media expressed skepticism about Pyongyang′s intentions， referring to speculation that the regime will fire a long－range rocket in October. Experts in South Korea are more optimistic about Seoul and Pyongyang′s efforts. Those that I′ve talked to say that the Koreas will at least reach an agreement to ease military tensions... with some even speculating joint efforts by the two sides to maintain this unusual momentum to facilitate an inter－Korean summit. This has been Hwang Sung－hee， reporting live from the unification ministry in Seoul.

ARIRANG NEWS 22:00 Good to have you with us at this hour. I′m Daniel Choy. Two Koreas continue high-level talks after adjournment The two Koreas resumed their high-level talks in an effort to defuse tensions on the peninsula... but no word as of yet on the outcome of the meeting. We connect to our presidential office correspondent Choi You-sun . You-sun? South Korea′s National Security Adviser Kim Kwan-jin and Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo returned to the negotiating table with North Korea at the truce village of Panmunjom roughly six-and-a-half hours ago, at 3:30 p.m. Seoul time. We still don′t know much about what′s being discussed at the meeting, which is also being attended by North Korea′s top military official Hwang Pyong-so and ruling party secretary Kim Yang-gon. Officials here in the South have been tight-lipped about what was discussed a day earlier, as any unconfirmed information leak could negatively affect ongoing negotiations. The presidential office in Seoul is known to be closely watching the situation. At around 5 a.m. this morning, President Park Geun-hye′s spokesperson Min Kyung-wook read from a statement prepared by the two Koreas, saying the high-level meeting, which began more than 10 hours earlier, had been adjourned. The spokesperson said Seoul and Pyongyang discussed a wide range of issues during the meeting to improve and develop inter-Korean relations, including ways to defuse tensions escalated by the recent exchange of artillery fire between the South and the North.

ARIRANG NEWS 22:00 Hello... and thanks for joining us for our late night newscast coming to you from Arirang′s News Center in Seoul. I′m Mark Broome. Two Koreas′ high-level meeting held amid tensions Our top story tonight... The two Koreas are still locked in high-level talks at this hour... as they try to defuse tensions on the Korean peninsula. News of today′s meeting at the truce village of Panmumjom came as a big surprise to many because tensions had spiked to levels not seen in a few years following an exchange of artillery fire between the South and the North. For the latest details on how the two sides agreed to hold these talks, we connect to our presidential office correspondent Choi You-sun . So You-sun, many watchers here in the South were expecting another provocation by North Korea as time was ticking towards Pyongyang′s deadline for Seoul to stop propaganda broadcasts. You′re right Mark. The announcement by the head of the South′s National Security Council secretariat Kim Kyou-hyun at 3 p.m. was certainly came as a big surprise for many. Kim said the two sides agreed to the meeting after North Korea proposed it Friday afternoon. While Pyongyang first suggested a one-on-one meeting between the South′s top security adviser Kim Kwan-jin and its ruling party secretary Kim Yang-gon, Seoul requested the North′s top military official Hwang Pyong-so to come to the meeting. Pyongyang then suggested a two-plus-two meeting that would also include the South Korean unification minister, which Seoul accepted. Hwang Pyong-so is known to be North Korean leader Kim Jong-un′s top military aide, and led a delegation to South Korea last October for the closing ceremony of the Asian Games held in South Korea′s western port city of Incheon. He and Kim Kwan-jin had met at the time and some experts say agreeing to send Hwang to the meeting reflects North Korea′s will to renew dialogue with the South. While South Korea′s presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae awaits the outcome of these talks, the country′s ruling and opposition parties welcomed news of today′s inter-Korean meeting. Tell us more. Like you said Mark, the presidential office in Seoul hasn′t said anything about the meeting since the NSC secretariat made the annoucement earlier in the day. President Park′s top security adviser Kim Kwan-jin is expected to brief to the press about the meeting here at the presidential office. South Korea′s political parties, in the meantime, have reacted postively to the news. Ruling Saenuri Party leader Kim Moo-sung said he expects the meeting will help ease tensions in the region, adding he hopes the two Koreas will be able to make compromise. The leader of the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy, Moon Jae-in, who had urged Seoul to propose high-level talks with Pyongyang the day before, also welcomed the news.

Two Koreas hold high－level talks amid tensions 남북， 오후 6시 판문점 고위급접촉

Our top story this evening... In a striking turn of events， high－level officials from the two Koreas have just started a hastily－arranged meeting at a truce village in the demilitarized zone. Tensions have spiked to levels not seen in a few years after the two sides exchanged artillery fire earlier this week. For details， we have our presidential office correspondent Choi You－sun on the line. So You－sun， as we understand it， officials from Seoul and Pyongyang started talks just a few moments ago. How did the two sides come to this agreement？ Right Mark. South Korea′s top security adviser Kim Kwan－jin and Unification Minister Hong Yong－pyo are reported to have started their high－level meeting with the North Korean military′s political department director Hwang Pyong－so and the ruling Workers′ Party secretary Kim Yang－gon at 6 p.m. at the truce village of Panmunjom. In a surprise announcement at 3 p.m.， the head of the South′s National Security Council secretariat Kim Kyou－hyun said the two sides agreed to the latest meeting after North Korea proposed it Friday afternoon. While Pyongyang first suggested a one－on－one meeting between the South′s top security adviser Kim Kwan－jin and its ruling party secretary Kim Yang－gon， Seoul requested the North′s top military official Hwang Pyong－so to come to the meeting. Pyongyang then suggested a two－plus－two meeting that would also include the South Korean unification minister， which Seoul accepted. Hwang Pyong－so is known to be North Korean leader Kim Jong－un′s top military aide， and led a delegation to South Korea last October for the closing ceremony of the Asian Games. He and Kim Kwan－jin had met at the time and some experts say agreeing to send Hwang to the meeting reflects North Korea′s will to renew dialogue with the South. It′s likely the officials will mainly focus on the ongoing tension here on the Korean Peninsula. What can we expect out of the meeting？ We can expect South Korea to demand the North to apologize for its recent land mine blast in the Demilitarized Zone that left two South Korean soldiers seriously injured. Seoul will also likely seek Pyongyang′s apology for the latest artillery fire that triggered the escalating of tensions this week， as well as promise of preventive measures. North Korea， which denies responsibility for both incidents， is expected to demand the South stop its anti－Pyongyang broadcasts that resumed after the land mine attack. Considering the fact that the South′s unification minister is in attendance， the two sides may exchange views on non－military issues， such as resuming reunions of families separated by the Korean War. But with Pyongyang strongly denying responsibility for the recent attacks， it′s difficult to predict whether the two sides will bring about a substantial outcome from today′s meeting. It however is worth acknowledging that the two Koreas managed to agree to talks， just hours before North Korea′s deadline to take further military

If you ever have the chance to visit Seoul, you'll have a great time! I traveled to Seoul Korea and was able to do all kinds of things, but I've narrowed this list down to twenty five of the best things to do in Seoul - of course there are other things as well but this list is just the beginning and intended to get your ideas and travel imagination flowing!

Updated: 14 Aug 2013

Travel video about destination South-Korea. South Korea is a land of ancient tradition and contemporary life, a fascinating world…with five thousand years of history. Seoul is the country’s economic and cultural centre, a metropolis of twelve million inhabitants who are proud of their ancient culture. The War Museum is a reminder of the Forgotten War when the United States of America and twenty other countries took part in a United Nations military operation to support South Korea against the forces North Korea and China. Thirty kilometres south of Seoul is the fortress town of Suwon where at the end of the eighteenth century the Hwaseong Fortress was built, now a World Heritage Sight. South Korea’s most famous monastery is located in the Gaya-San National Park. Today the complex and its ninety buildings have become one of the main Buddhist centres in the East.. Tumuli Park is situated in the centre of Kyong Ju, former capital of the Silla Kingdom and contains twenty three royal tombs that look from the outside like large green hills. A huge number of valuable finds were made here thus the National Museum was created in which more than a hundred and fifty thousand exhibits from prehistoric times right up to the Joseon Dynasty are on display. Jeju island is a unique holiday paradise, a volcanic island with temples, waterfalls, tea plantations and several leisure facilities. For Koreans as well as the Japanese, Jeju Island has, due to its tropical climate, become a very popular honeymoon destination. When during dinner a volcano erupts and laser gods battle against each other, the Korean people are reminded of the fact that they have withstood invasion by the Mongols, Chinese and Japanese. At the climax of the show a fiery dragon appears: his sole task to protect glorious South Korea!

St. Petersburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ISUUO0CSo Kyoto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd1wzlwtKJ0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- South Korea, located on the peninsula between Japan and China, is a nation of contradictions. You’ll find an ancient culture that goes back thousands of years, bolstered by high-tech industries and glowing modern cities. These elements, seemingly at odds, often mix together to create a truly unique experience. Your Korea tour begins with Seoul, a mega-city full of theatres, casinos, restaurants, and pubs.

Things to do in Seoul Korea | Top Attractions Travel Guide

Order: Reorder
Duration: 30:33
Updated: 04 May 2014

Seoul is one of the most dynamic cities in the world. I've been privileged enough to have lived in and around the Seoul metropolitan area for several years as an English teacher. It's a city that is near and dear to my heart and one which I strongly encourage you to visit. Below is my things to do in Seoul travel guide featuring all of the top attractions worth visiting: 1) Insadong is the cultural HUB of Seoul. It's an area that is equally as popular with locals as it is with tourists. Whether you're shopping for Korean souvenirs, people watching or wanting to grab some Korean street food, you'll find it all here. 2) Do fancy cats? For cat lovers (and the cats living there) a cat cafe is paradise. With an opportunity to interact with cats and feed them treats, you'll be sure to make a few feline friends in just one sitting. The deal with these cat cafes is that you have to purchase a prepaid drink and/or snack (at a price higher than a normal cafe) for the opportunity to pet and play with kitties. Our favorite cat cafe was located in Hongdae. 3) In the winter Korea is frigid in a way few from abroad might expect. To warm up head to a proper Korean Tea House where you'll be served a wonderful aromatic fruity Korean tea accompanied by rice cake snacks. To enjoy like a local find a spot with Ondol - heated floors. If you're looking for a recommendation, try the ginger tea! 4) For the best view in Seoul consider hiking up Mount Namsan to visit Seoul Tower. Best done in the spring or fall - given the moderate temperatures - this moderately challenging walk will take less than an hour to complete. We picked late fall to go when it was cooler outside and leaves were changing colors. 5) No trip to Seoul would be complete without visiting the oldest market in the city - Namdaemun market. Many come here to shop but I'm all about coming for Korean street food. With a plethora of stalls and no shortage of options it's best to arrive with an empty stomach. If you're having a hard time choosing I recommend Hotteok and Tteokbokki. 6) As if visiting a cat cafe wasn't enough there are also dog cafes in Seoul! Unlike the cat cafes, which are a bit more mellow, prepare for a high energy kind of environment in the dog cafe where the dogs are more active than the docile cats. 7) For the best walk in Seoul head down to the Cheonggyecheon stream in the heart of the city. Equally as fascinating during the summer as it is by winter, it takes on a totally different personality as the seasons change. If you're lucky you'll spot a traditional Korean performance or hear Korean music playing. 8) There are numerous palaces to consider visiting in Seoul but none is more impressive than Gyeongbokgung. With admission being only 3000 KRW it's a cheap and fun landmark to visit. Be sure to stick around for the changing of guard ceremony. 서울 은 세계에서 가장 역동적 인 도시 중 하나입니다. 나는 영어 교사로서 몇 년 동안 수도권 과 주변 살았던 만큼 권한이 있었습니다. 이 근처에 그리고 친애하는 나의 마음과 강력 방문해 보시기 바랍니다 하나 인 도시입니다 . 다음은 방문 할 가치가유명한 관광 명소 를 모두 갖춘 서울 여행 가이드 에서 할 내 물건 은 : 1) 인사동 은 서울 의 문화 중심지입니다. 그것은 관광객 과 같이 지역 주민 과 똑같이 인기있는 영역 입니다. 당신이 한국의 기념품 쇼핑을 하든, 보고 또는 한국의 일부 거리 음식 을 잡고 싶은 사람들은 , 당신은 모두 여기에 찾을 수 있습니다. 2) 공상 고양이 하십니까? 고양이 애호가 (그리고 거기에 사는 고양이 )에 대한 고양이 카페 낙원입니다. 고양이 와 상호 작용하고 그들에게 간식 을 먹일 수있는 기회 와 함께, 당신은 하나 에 앉아 몇 고양이 친구를 만들 해야 합니다 . 이 고양이 카페 거래는 당신이 애완 동물과 고양이 한테는 놀 수있는 기회를 ( 높은 일반 카페 보다 가격 )선불 음료 및 / 또는 간식 을 구입 해야한다는 것입니다 . 우리가 좋아하는 고양이 카페 는 홍대 에 위치했다.

Things to do in Korea | Top Attractions Travel Guide

Order: Reorder
Duration: 55:45
Updated: 01 Jun 2014

When coming up with a top attractions travel guide for South Korea it became a daunting task to go through my travel video library collection of Korean videos and decide which ones to use. There is just so much to see and do in Korea from food to culture and from attractions and cities worth visiting. From Seoul to Busan and from countryside to urban city centers there is something for everyone. The following recommendation for the top things to do in South Korea: 1) Visiting Insadong Considered by many to the cultural hub of Seoul, Insadong is the perfect place to indulge in Korean street, go shopping and take in Korean traditional musical performances. It is also one of the best places for people watching as you'll notice a mix of both Koreans and foreigners. 2) Korean Folk Village The Korean Folk Village, nestled in between the cities of Suwon and Yongin, is a place you'll definitely want to check out. While wandering around he scenic premises you can snack on Korean street food delights such as sugary taffy where you'll notice traditional Korean wedding ceremonies, tightrope walking and equestrian students and performances. The best time of year to come is in the fall or spring. 3) Cat Cafes Although we've been to several cat cafes in Thailand, Malaysia and Germany we still haven't found one that tops the cat cafe we visited in Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea. Purchase an entrance ticket, which entitles you to a drink, allows you to come in and interact with the cats playing, feeding and petting them to your hearts content. 4) One of the most historic markets in all of Seoul - and Korea for that matter - is Namdaemun Market. As the largest and oldest open air market in all of Korea you'll have a chance to shop and eat Korean street food all day long. My favorite snack here is hotteok. 5) A scenic and peaceful way to experience the heart of downtown Seoul is to wander along the Cheonggyecheon. There are few places that are more attractive to go walking. When we visited in winter we noticed many ice sculptures. 6) To beat the heat in the winter, visit a traditional Korean tea house for a fragrant cup of hot fruity tea and a delicious plate of Korean rice cake snacks. 7) Not a fan of cats? Try visiting a dog cafe as an alternative. It's the same deal as the cat cafe in terms of purchasing overpriced drinks for the chance to play and interact with cute dogs and puppies. 8) Kimbap Restaurant For excellent Korean rice rolls, known as kimbap, head to one of the ubiquitous locations for some excellent kimchi fried rice, mandu and Korean soups. 9) Bamboo Park If you visit the city of Damyang, in the southern region of Korea, you'll be treated to the Damyang Bamboo Forest Park. A nice scenic escape from urban Korean life, these parks do sometimes get crowded. 10) Boseong Tea Fields and Plantation Not far from the Bamboo Forest Park is the Boseong Tea Fields. Come climb up to the very top - it's quite the workout and enjoy a cup of green tea or green tea flavored ice cream upon returning to the bottom. 11) There are a plethora of fascinating palaces and temples to explore in Seoul. Our favorite, is Gyeongbokgung Palace where admission is only 3000 Won. Pose with Korean guards and stick around for the changing of the guard. 12) If you're ready to shop until you drop be sure to visit Myeongdong, one of the most popular shopping districts in all of Seoul. Here you'll find swanky boutique shops and plenty of restaurants. 13) For the art and hipster scene be sure to visit Hongdae, the most popular student hangout area for Koreans. From food to nightlife to shopping this place has it all for young 20 somethings. 14) An alternative to Itaewon is Songtan - located nearby an American Military base in the Pyeongtaek region. This is where you'll come to buy American goods and to eat International cuisine. 15) Seoul Tower offers amazing views of the city but I enjoyed climbing Namsan even more. The climb is free and it best enjoyed on a fall or spring afternoon when the weather is cool. This is part of our Travel in Korea series.

St. Petersburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ISUUO0CSo Kyoto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd1wzlwtKJ0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the capital of South Korea, Seoul blends futuristic skyscrapers with ancient cultural tradition. Together, these elements create a visit you’ll never forget. The performing arts are very important to residents of Seoul, and you’ll find extraordinary renditions of song and dance, music, and martial arts just about anywhere you decide to go. Where else can you watch a ceremonial Changing of the Guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace to get a taste the city’s love of tradition and pageantry, and then follow it up with dancing the night away in one of Seoul’s many ultramodern nightclubs? Are you always looking for that perfect purchase? So is Seoul. The people of this city love shopping; entire neighborhoods are dedicated to the art and craft of the perfect bargain. Scan the night market for that ultimate piece of traditional art, or wander into a high-end department store for that jacket you didn’t realize you needed. On that note, when shopping is near, so is food—intersperse your purchasing adventures with delicious Korean food wherever you go. After hours of exploring the city itself, relax with a peaceful walk along the Cheonggyecheon Stream. This waterway runs through downtown Seoul and is dotted with parks and other public spaces for you to enjoy. What will you do in Seoul?

Three Insider Travel Tips for South Korea

Updated: 04 May 2014

This week, James (aka Texas01ism) wrote in asking for some insider tips when traveling to South Korea. This is what he said: Hey Steve! humble subscriber and fellow DFW kid here, ill be visiting South Korea this September to visit a friend of mine! I was seeing if you could give some helpful tips to make my trip even more eventful, but of course I already know the obvious basics of what to bring and what major attractions to see, but if you could provide some personal insight/secrets that not many know of, I'd greatly appreciate it! much thanks in advance, and keep up the awesome videos (really loving the walk-around vids!) - James I thought it was a great question and crafted this rather long video reply. Here's the TL;DR on the travel tips: 1) Check your credit card company to see if they charge foreign exchange fees. 2) Depending on your arrival or departure time at ICN, public transport might not be available. Make sure you know how to get to and from the airport. 3) Bring a power strip to charge all your devices. -= WEB SITES =- G+: http://google.com/+SteveMiller_QiRanger Twitter: http://twitter.com/qiranger Asia News Weekly: http://twitter.com/asianewsweekly Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/qiranger Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/qirangeradventures Instagram: http://instagr.am/qiranger Blog: http://qiranger.com News Channel: http://youtube.com/qiranger The Vlog Channel: http://youtube.com/theqirangervlog Podcast: http://asianewsweekly.net

Travel video about destination Seoul in South Korea. Founded in 1394, Seoul is both the cultural and economic centre of South Korea and with 12 million inhabitants, it is also the 5th largest city in the world. A huge monument commemorates the Korean War during which, between 1950 and 1953, around 400,000 people were killed. At that time, the United States of America and 20 other countries took part in a United Nations military operation to support South Korea against the forces of North Korea and China. In 1988, the 24th Olympic Games took place in Seoul and for this, the Olympic Park was created, a huge area with a monument at its entrance and 200 sculptures that adorn various paths, designed to highlight Korea's global connection with the rest of the world. At the end of the 18th century, the Hwaseong Fortress was built, now a World Heritage Sight. The fortress extends for 130 hectares and the distance from one main gate to the other is such that a dragon train is available for those who prefer not to walk. In 1969, the N Seoul Tower was built to provide South Korea with TV and radio signals. Seoul's main landmark is 236 metres high and is equipped with several high speed elevators, as well as an observation platform and observatory. Historic buildings, palaces, shrines and bridges all serve to underline the ultra modern appearance of Seoul, a mega city in the Land of the Silent Morning.

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

South Korea Travel Video Guide: South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia. South Korea occupies the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, with North Korea to the north, China across the sea to the west and Japan a short ferry ride to the southeast. Archeological finds of prehistoric toolmaking on the Korean Peninsula date back to 70,000 BC, and the first pottery is found around 8000 BC. Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000 BC. Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called Ancient Chosun) by the legendary Dangun in 2333 BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies. The political chaos following the fall of the Han Dynasty in China allowed native tribes to regain control of Korea and led to the emergence of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, namely Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence. Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called Koryo) dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Goryeo was replaced by the Joseon (also called Chosun) dynasty, after a coup by one of its generals. The Joseon dynasty ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910, being one of the longest actively ruling dynasties in world history. It was during the early part of the Joseon dynasty that Korean technological inventions such as the world's first water clock, ironclad ship, and other innovations took place. During the rule of King Sejong the Great, the world's first rain gauge was invented and the Korean alphabet known as hangul was created.

South Korea's defense ministry said Sunday it had detected "unusual" North Korean submarine activity as both countries attempt to resolve a spat that brought the peninsula close to war last week. A South Korean official told NBC News the submarine movement was a sign that the North was using a "dual tactic" of "war and peace strategies" as envoys met in the Panmunjom truce village inside the Demilitarised Zone on the border. An official from Seoul's Defense Ministry said "we are detecting unusual movement from North Korean submarines, in that they have left their bases and also North Korea has doubled artillery power along the border." A South Korean defense official said about 70 percent of the North's submarines were not in their usual positions. However, it was not clear how many submarines that represented. http://feeds.nbcnews.com/c/35002/f/663303/s/4938528e/sc/11/l/0L0Snbcnews0N0Cnews0Cworld0Cs0Ekorea0Edetects0Eunusual0Esubmarine0Eactivity0Enorth0Eenvoys0Emeet0En414446/story01.htm http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com

SOUTH KOREA-SOUTH KOREA Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear weapons are the most important weapons in the North Korean arsenal. The express purpose of North Korean nuclear weapons is act as a deterrent to forced regime change. As long as North Korea has nukes, both the United States and South Korea are averse to directly threatening the Kim regime. The North Korean People’s Army, Navy and Air Force may be obsolescent and no match for U.S. and South Korean forces, but they’re increasingly irrelevant in the long term. North Korea’s first nuclear test was in 2006 and was assessed by the U.S. intelligence community as having a yield of less than 1,000 tons TNT. (The Hiroshima bomb, for example, is estimated at 18,000-ton high-explosive yield, or 18 kilotons.) The yield was so small tha

North and South Korea resumed talks at the historic "truce village" Sunday in a bid to ease tensions and heated rhetoric that escalated last week. The talks, held inside the Demilitarized Zone, featured key players such as Hwang Pyong So, who is the reclusive regime's leader's deputy and political director of North Korea's army. Also present was Kim Yang Gon, a veteran of negotiations with South Korea since Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, ruled the secretive regime. Korea watchers point to the seniority of the two men, particularly Hwang, as an indication of the North's intentions.

Points scoring or potential crisis? Two Koreas trade border accusations

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:25
Updated: 23 Aug 2015

The North says South Korea started this latest shouting match with propaganda loudspeakers resuming broadcasts stopped for more than a decade. The South retorts it was in response to a landmine attack on two border guards. The north says stop or we prepare for war. The armistice border has been rarely quiet since the 1950s. In 2010 nearly 50 sailors died and an island was bombarded in the last serious exchanges. The latest tension is another reverse for anyone in the South arguing for trying to revive talks with the North. And the propaganda from Pyongyang sounds more unrelenting than usual. “They should not forget that the KPA military action means indiscriminate strikes which envisage even possible engagement and escalating counteraction” How different is this latest rise in border tensions? Missiles may be used against one or all of the South’s 12 loudspeaker sites, but that in itself would hardly be a reason for war to resume. More likely would be a tit-for-tat exchange, as the North has resumed using its own loudspeakers, to allow everyone to save face. The South is also currently holding its annual wargame with the USA, normally a moment when border issues can enflame or relations worsen, when the North often claims it is about to be attacked. The only thing the North can be relied on to be is unreliable insists the South’s major ally. “As always, we have an unstable, unpredictable, provocative North Korea that we have to be concerned with.” says General Ray Odierno, US army Chief of Staff. There has been speculation Kim Jong-un may have a weaker hold on North Korea than previously thought. so sabre-rattling may now serve different people than before, or it may become more frequent. But as usual really knowing anything about what goes on inside this most secretive country is all-but-impossible. These latest declarations are all part of the halting half-century dialogue between North and South Korea.

Words over weapons: North and South Korea discuss border tensions Top officials from North and South Korea are believed to be in talks in the Panmunjom truce village, in the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) separating the two states. The discussions were scheduled to start at 5.30pm local time, or 11am Central European Zone (August 22). South Korea said the intial proposal for talks came from the North. It then claims to have made a revised proposal, changing the suggested meeting day from Friday to Saturday. Seoul reportedly also requested the attendance of Hwang Pyong So, the top military aide to North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un. Pyongyang had previously issued its southern neighbour with an ultimatum: stop making anti-North Korea broadcasts by 5pm on Saturday, August 22, or face military action. The deadline passed without any reported incidents. Broadcasts South Korea’s broadcasts restarted after an 11-year hiatus. Its government originally said the announcements would continue until the North admitted responsibility for landmine explosions earlier this month, which wounded two South Korean soldiers. Pyongyang denies any involvement. An exchange of artillery fire ensued on Thursday (August 20). According to Seoul, Pyongyang launched four shells across the border. South Korea says it fired back 29 artillery rounds. “The situation on the Korean peninsula is now inching close to the brink of a war due to the reckless provocations made by the South Korean military war hawks,” North Korea’s state news agency, KCNA, reported. North Korea put its troops on a war footing from Friday evening (August 21) local time. The two states are technically still at war after a 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, rather than a peace treaty.

The South Korean Love Industry

Updated: 05 Feb 2015

With one of the lowest birth rates in the world, South Korea is in danger of disappearing by the end of the millennium. If the situation stays as it is, South Koreans are predicted to become extinct by 2750. Because of the rapidly aging population, elderly prostitutes known as "Bacchus ladies" have cornered a number of public parks as their working areas. Meanwhile, South Korean kids are living with their families well into their 20s—as a result, an entire economy of sex motels has sprung up to give kids a place to fool around outside the watchful eyes of their parents. We sent Matt Shea to investigate this generational crisis, which led him to Seoul's red-light district, a pre-wedding photo shoot on the set of a Korean soap opera, and an erotic sculpture park on South Korea's "honeymoon island."

Victor Cha discusses China-North Korea relations at the Paulson Institute’s Contemporary China Speakers Series. “North Korea’s Future—And What it Means for China and America” February 24, 2015 Following a recent North Korean cyber attack on Sony Pictures, the United States is facing new questions about how to interact with Pyongyang on the international stage. Some experts have suggested the US can leverage its working relationship with China, a traditional ally of Pyongyang, to help drive its interests in the North. But many aren't so optimistic. In this lecture, Korea expert Victor Cha explores the challenges each country faces in dealing with North Korea, and how the Pyongyang question changes the calculus for Sino-US relations—potentially even offering opportunities for greater cooperation. Victor D. Cha is director of Asian Studies and holds the D.S. Song Chair at Georgetown University. In 2009, he was named as Senior Adviser and the inaugural holder of the new Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. He left the White House in May 2007 after serving since 2004 as Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council. At the White House, he was responsible primarily for Japan and the Korean Peninsula, was the Deputy Head of Delegation for the United States at the Six Party Talks in Beijing, and received two Outstanding Service commendations during his tenure at the NSC. He is the author of five books, including most recently "The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future," which was selected by Foreign Affairs as a best book of 2012 on the Asia-Pacific. He had a cameo role (as himself) in the action film “Red Dawn," released in November 2012.

PRIME TIME NEWS 22:00 Two Koreas strike deal to defuse tensions on Korean Peninsula

Updated: 25 Aug 2015

PRIME TIME NEWS 22:00 The wait was worth it. After marathon talks sparked by escalating tensions,... the two Koreas reach a constructive deal to call off all hostilities and work towards greater cooperation. Already... there are expectations and talks of inter-Korean coordination to restart long overdue family reunions, as well as cross border tourism and business. China′s market plunges yet again, but this time around stocks in Seoul went relatively unscathed. Still, the Korean government will assess the effects of China Risk through a special team of experts. Hello... and welcome to Prime Time News... on this Tuesday, August 25th. I′m Daniel Choy. And I′m Hwang Ji-hye. Thanks for joining us. Title: Two Koreas strike deal to defuse tensions on Korean Peninsula After more than 40 hours of negotiations at the truce village of Panmunjom, the two Koreas struck a deal early today. Our Choi You-sun breaks down the six points of the agreement. Ending three days of high-level marathon talks, the two Koreas reached a compromise on their bone of contention. "North Korea expressed regret over the recent land mine blast on the South′s side of the DMZ that injured South Korean soldiers. On the condition that such incidents do not occur again, South Korea has agreed to stop its anti-Pyongyang broadcasts starting noon on August 25th." Pyongyang has also agreed to lift its quasi-state of war, imposed after the two Koreas′ exchange of artillery fire amid heightened tensions. In non-military areas, South and North Korea will seek to improve relations at a meeting of their officials, either in Seoul or Pyongyang, in the near future. They will have their respective Red Cross offices meet early next month in preparations for the reunion of families separated by the Korean War during the Korean Thanksgiving holiday in late September. The two sides also agreed to expand their civilian exchanges. In a statement read by her spokesperson, President Park said the agreement is the fruit of Seoul′s two-track policy of sternly responding to Pyongyang′s provocations, while keeping the door open to dialogue. "I concluded that we needed to get a definitive apology and promise of preventive measures from North Korea in order to end the current tensions." While some watchers say the North′s expression of regret falls short of an apology, others take note of the fact that it′s a meaningful departure from Pyongyang denying responsibility for the incident. The Park administration is also credited for taking the driver′s seat in defusing tensions on the peninsula and paving the way to normalizing inter-Korean ties. "Having led efforts to ease tensions with North Korea, South Korea appears to have gained leverage in addressing security and diplomatic issues in Northeast Asia, including its relations with Tokyo strained over historical differences.
