The traditional culture of Korea refers to the shared cultural heritage of the Korean Peninsula. Since the mid-20th century, the peninsula has been split politically between North and South Korea, resulting in a number of cultural differences. Before Joseon Dynasty, the practice of Korean shamanism was deeply rooted in the Korean culture.
As with music, there is a distinction between court dance and folk dance. Common court dances are jeongjaemu (정재무) performed at banquets, and ilmu (일무), performed at Korean Confucian rituals. Jeongjaemu is divided into native dances (향악정재, hyangak jeongjae) and forms imported from Central Asia and China (당악정재, dangak jeongjae). Ilmu are divided into civil dance (문무, munmu) and military dance (무무, mumu). Many mask dramas and mask dances are performed in many regional areas of Korea. The traditional clothing is the genja, it is a special kind of dress that women wear on festivals. It is pink with multiple symbols around the neck area.

South Korea ( listen), officially the Republic of Korea (Hangul: 대한민국; hanja: 大韓民國; RR: Daehanminguk, listen) and commonly referred to as Korea, is a sovereign state in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name Korea is derived from the ancient Kingdom of Goguryeo, also known as Koryŏ. Highly urbanized at 92%, Koreans lead a distinctive urban lifestyle with half of them living in the Seoul Capital Area, the world's second largest city with over 25 million residents and a leading global city with the fourth largest economy, rated in 2016 as the world's most livable megacity and safest city to live in. Highly mountainous, Korea is a popular winter sport destination in Asia, hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The earliest Korean pottery dates to 8000 BC, with three kingdoms flourishing at 1st century BC. One of them, Goguryeo, ruled Northeast China, parts of Russia and Mongolia under Gwanggaeto the Great. Since their unification into Silla and Balhae in the 7th century, Korea enjoyed over a millennium of relative tranquility under long lasting dynasties with innovations like Hangul, the unique alphabet created by Sejong the Great in 1446, enabling anyone to easily learn to read and write. Its rich and vibrant culture left 17 UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity, the third largest in the world, along with 12 World Heritage Sites. Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan in 1910 due to its strategic and central location, after whose surrender in 1945, it was divided into North and South Korea. A North Korean invasion lead to the Korean War (1950–53). Peace has since mostly continued with the two agreeing to work peacefully for reunification and the South solidifying peace as a regional power with the world's 10th largest defence budget and strong global alliances. In 2016, Korea was rated as the world's safest country to live in, with the lowest crime rate.
Korea, called Chosŏn (Korean: 조선; Hanja: 朝鮮) in North Korea and Hanguk (Korean: 한국; Hanja: 韓國) or Daehanminkuk (Korean: 대한민국; Hanja: 大韓民國) in South Korea, is an East Asian territory that is divided into two distinct sovereign states: North Korea, formally the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea (ROK). Located on the Korean Peninsula, Korea is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast. It is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait and the Sea of Japan .
Korea emerged as a singular political entity after centuries of conflict among the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which were unified as Silla (57 BC – AD 935) and Balhae (AD 698 – 926). The united Silla was eventually succeeded by Goryeo in 935 at the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Goryeo, which gave name to the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state and created the Jikji in the 14th century. The invasions by the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, however, greatly weakened the nation, which forced it into vassalage. After the Yuan dynasty's collapse, severe political strife followed. Goryeo eventually fell to an uprising led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 1388.

“VJ...혼돈스러운 신조어! 콘서트와 파티, 그리고 티브이의 음악프로그램에서 볼 수 있지만 그들이 누구인지 우리는 알 수 없었다. 테크놀러지의 발전과 엔터테인먼트 산업의 발달로 생겨난 이 기묘한 장르는 기존의 이미지가 가지고 있던 수동적인 소통방법에서 탈피하여, 이미지가 직접적으로 움직이고 대중과 소통을 한다. 그리고 결정적으로 이미지는 사운드와 함께하면서 커뮤니케이션이 강력해진다. 이것은 가장 현대적인 커뮤니케이션의 장이며, 눈과 귀 그리고 공간까지 확장되는 새로운 장르의 시작이다. 일회성이라는 특수성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 어찌보면 짧디 짧막한 비주얼에 자신이 가지고 있는 생각을, 이미지를 담아낸다. 당신이 어떤 퍼포먼스를 보았을때, 어떤 공연을 보았을때, 그 현장의 비주얼에 압도당하였을때 이들은 존재한다. 2011년 여름, VJ PARPUNK와 7명의 VJ들이 시작한 Electronic Movement를 여러분들에게 소개한다.” Director of Behavior 조범진(VM PROJECT) VJ...a confusing new word!

Zen's ancient teachings seem a mystery to many. But actually, Zen is very simple: Zen means attaining my true self -- "What am I?" In this revolutionary film by acclaimed filmmaker Christine Schmitthenner, we see a Western Zen monk in his daily activities in the world: chanting, meditating, preparing breakfast, riding public transport, meeting with friends, even shaving his head -- from moment to moment, not attached to conceptual thinking, everything is Zen, which just means everything is "moment." The subject of this unusual film, Hyon Gak Sunim, allowed filmmakers to follow his daily living and teaching activities for a week as he met with students and organized his daily activities. Sunim is widely recognized as one of the most influential Zen monks in modern Korean Buddhist history, a...

I was invited to participate at the 2010 International Comic Conference/BICOF in Bucheon, Korea in September of last year. This is a video I took during Day 2 at the Artist's Dinner where the delegates were treated to a traditional Korean folk dance performance called "Pungmul". Enjoy! *** Pungmul is a Korean folk music tradition that includes drumming, dancing, and singing. Most performances are outside, with tens of players, all in constant motion. Pungmul is rooted in the dure (collective labor) farming culture. It was originally played as part of farm work, on rural holidays, at other village community-building events, and in shamanistic rituals. Pungmul performers wear a variety of colorful costumes. A flowery version of the Buddhist kkokkal is the most common head-dress. Advanced ...
IISE's Fall/Winter 14' collection draws inspiration from the diverse boroughs of Seoul. The city is home to traditional hanok architecture, sleek skyscrapers, gritty pavements, and the timeless prestige of the more oldschool areas that all embody the essence of IISE. The music was sampled with the sounds of Korean instruments and set to the beat of this restless city. IISE의 F/W '14 컬렉션은 서울의 다양한 지역 특성에서 얻은 영감을 표현했습니다. 전통 한옥과 세련된 고층 빌딩들, 멋진 문화가 깃든 젊은 거리와 시대를 초월한 고전적인 모습을 동시에 담고 있는 서울에서 이번 컬렉션에 대한 영감을 얻었습니다. 음악은 바쁘게 돌아가는 서울의 빠른 템포에 한국 전통 국악기의 연주가 조화를 이루도록 만들었습니다. http://ii-se.co/ Video: Mike Beech (http://mefbeech.wix.com/home) Music: IISE Big thank you to Oskar Borin Big thank you to A.F.M.

This is one of those days where you have your camera with you and something completely unexpected happens before you. Conveniently it was one of my favourite things in Korean culture which was a performance called Pungmul. I was so thrilled to shoot it and was concerned that the performance would end before I could shoot the shots that I wanted so I ended up forgetting to shoot cutaways : ) Hence the cross fades between segments. Here's some more information on Pungmul if your interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pungmul This footage was shot with the following: - Canon T2i with Magic Lantern - Canon 24-70mm lens - Manfrotto 755xb tripod with a 501HDV head.
