The K-Heritage Channel is just amazing.

It's great cinematography woven with culture in such a unique way. Always a joy to watch and experience

This time they created a dance perfomance about the manchu invasion.

#Korea just convicted its former president of insurrection for trying to subvert its #democracy. Just saying.

Frage an #Korea-Fans wie z.B. @bookstardust - lohnt sich der Film "No other Choice" ("Eojjeolsuga eobsda")? Der wurde mir gerade nahegelegt, aber ich habe ja keine Ahnung von koreanischer Filmkunst.

In #Korea ‘No foreigner sojourning in the Republic of Korea shall engage in any political activity with the exception of cases provided for by this Act or other Acts.’ as per Article 17(2) of the Immigration Control Act.

This may hopefully change depending on the outcome of a constitutional complaint by Open Net, together with Law Firm Innovation, seeking a declaration of unconstitutionality of Article 17(2).

Han Duck-soo, former prime minister and even briefly acting president of South Korea, was sentenced to 23 years in prison for his role during the insurrection when former president Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law.

https://ground.news/article/former-south-korean-pm-han-duck-soo-sentenced-to-23-years-for-martial-law-aiding_7824c1

I didn't expect sentences this severe. Yoon was also already sentenced to 5 years, however that was not even part of Yoon's main trial yet.

From Korean friends I know that Korean politics is a huge shit show, but what I really admire is that they don't shy away from punishing illegal behavior even in their highest ranks. Just compare it with the utter failure to punish Trump for his crimes in the US.

Major breakthrough from Korea: Scientists have transformed completely transparent glass into functional solar panels! ☀️🔬
This technology could revolutionize urban energy—turning every window in office buildings, homes, and skyscrapers into electricity generators without blocking views. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) taken to the next level. Transparent solar glass represents a massive leap for renewable.

NORTH KOREA DEFENDS #RUSSIA AT UN AFTER STRIKE ON #UKRAINE: #North #Korea criticized a #UN Security Council meeting convened to discuss Russia’s recent missile strike on Ukraine, calling it prejudiced and unfair. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2026/01/13/Kim-Song-North-Korea-statement-condemning-UNSC-meeting-Russia-Ukraine/1131768297845/

This is far fetched, but I would need quickly advise on getting a certificate of marital status from South Korea. We did have a paper certificate with authorized English translation. But the Finnish authorities after 5 months of processing responded the certificate is not apostille autheticated (and after asking if embassy can provide it they responded the electronic authentication has expired after 3 months, which is weird since the certificate was not electronic. Also they warned certificate from embassy may not be possible to authenticate for some reason.). My fiancé is no longer a citizen of South Korea (and does not have anymore bank account etc. there), because she got Finnish citizenship and we can not travel to Korea for this.

We are having trouble on finding if it is possible to get
1. Electronic certificate of marital status from South Korea
2. Directly in English
3. In a form that is accepted by Finnish authorities

If so, how?

Rhee Kun Hoo: If You Live to 100, You Might as Well Be Happy
이 근후: 어차피 살 거라면, 백 살까지 유쾌하게 나이 드는 법
Koreasta kääntänyt englanniksi Suphil Lee Park

88-vuotias Rhee Kun-hoo syntyi Japanin vallan aikana Koreassa, selvisi Korean sodasta ja opiskeli lääkäriksi. Eläkkeelle jäätyään hän päätti kirjoittaa kirjan, josta tuli bestseller Koreassa ja joka on nyt käännetty englanniksi. Rheen käsittelemiä teemoja ovat ikääntyminen, luopuminen, anteeksianto, pienten ilojen huomaaminen sekä epävarmuuksien sietäminen. Kun elämää ei ole enää pitkään jäljellä, mitä asioita on hyvä tehdä ja toisaalta jättää tekemättä? Rhee kertoo paljon myös omista kokemuksistaan psykiatrina sekä puolisona, isänä ja isoisänä.

Vaikka pidin kirjan omakohtaisuudesta ja hyvistä neuvoista, ukkini sukupolven ajatukset tuntuivat hetkittäin vanhahtavilta. Esimerkiksi avioliitto, lapset ja lapsenlapset tuntuivat olevan Rheelle itsestäänselviä asioita. Muutaman kerran mansplaining-level nousi aika korkealle. Mutta neuvot kuten "kuuntele enemmän kuin puhut" tai "muista pitää hauskaa" sopivat minusta kenelle tahansa iästä riippumatta. Taustalla kerrotut tarinat elämän varrelta tekevät kirjasta kiinnostavan. Suosittelen kaikille, joita pohdituttavat vanhuusiän ilot ja surut.

The Independence Hall in #korea. Beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. We were the only people who were not retired people, school trips, or military service guys.

It will be interesting to see what they learn from this recovered ship.

"South Korean archaeologists have recovered the full remains of a Joseon-era (1392-1910) cargo vessel, shedding light on how a premodern kingdom managed national taxation, logistics and sea-based infrastructure with surprising complexity.

Announced by the National Research Institute of Maritime Heritage on Monday, the 15th-century vessel — named Mado 4 by researchers — was raised from the seabed in October following nearly a decade of conservation and analysis.

It is now the only fully excavated Joseon-era ship ever recovered, and the clearest physical proof yet of the kingdom’s maritime tax network."

I also hear stories of abusive, toxic fans and management in the K-Pop #music machine

I always get overwhelmed by the sheer number of cafes in #Seoul. It feels like, to me, that there are 5-10X as many cafes here compared to a similar neighborhood in #Tokyo or #Osaka

It's so hard to tell which ones are good for #coffee and which ones aren't - most are mediocre but some are amazing.

In #Japan I've got this skill down - identifying good vs mediocre just from appearance, but in #Korea I'm lost.

Vor einige Monaten hattest Du etwas zur politischen Entwicklung in #südkorea geschrieben. Gibt es eigentlich mittlerweile ein deutschsprachiges Medium, dass den zivilen #widerstand der Koreaner:innen gegen den #Putschversuch beschreibt? Eine ansprechende Doku oder sowas?

South Korea's dazzling success hides a dark reality. It's a society that suffers from relentless pressure for perfection driving a shocking suicide rate and the world's lowest birth rate. It is run by powerful family-owned conglomerates that benefit from the societal issues, maintaining a system that serves their interests by fostering competition and division.

South #Korea acts as chilling warning, revealing the dystopian consequences of late stage #capitalism.

Today in Labor History May 18, 1980: Koreans rose up in Gwangju against the repressive U.S.-supported government. The uprising lasted from May 18 to May 27. According to official reports, 165 civilians were killed and 3,515 were injured in the uprising. 37 soldiers and 4 cops were killed and 253 were injured. Another 14 soldiers died from “friendly” fire. However, Gwangju’s death records for May of 1980 were 2,300 above normal. Many believe the actual death toll from the uprising is closer to 2,000. In addition to the casualties from the uprising, nearly 1,400 people were arrested and 7 were given death sentences. 12 were sentenced to life in prison.

The background for the uprising is complex. However, the country had been living under the 18-year dictatorship of Park Chun-hee, who was assassinated on October 26, 1979. A series of pro-democracy demonstrations developed in the wake of his death. But on December 12, Chun Doo-hwan led a military coup in order to quell the protests. He did not officially take over as “president” until after the Gwangju Uprising. But he was acting as the de facto ruler and the country was still under martial law from the coup.

In March, protests picked up again. People wanted democratization, human rights, minimum wage increases, freedom of the press, and an end to martial law. On May 15, 100,000 people demonstrated at Seoul Station. Chun Doo-hwan responded by extending martial law to the entire nation, closing the universities, banning all political activities and further curtailing the press. Furthermore, he dispatched troops throughout the country to suppress any potential demonstrations.

On May 18, students demonstrated at Chonnam University in defiance of its closing. At first, there were only 30 paratroopers and hundreds of students. They started to clash. By afternoon, at least 2,000 people had joined the protest. The government sent in hundreds of troops. Soldiers started to club demonstrators and onlookers. They attacked with bayonets and raped people, and they beat a deaf man to death. Outraged, the number of protesters swelled to over 10,000. Street battles continued for days, climaxing on May 21, when soldiers fired into a crowd of protesters. In response, citizens took up arms by robbing local armories and police stations, arming themselves with M1 rifles and carbines. By afternoon, there were bloody gunfights between ad hoc civilian militias and the army. By 5:30, the citizens militias had obtained two machine guns and used them, forcing the army to retreat.

The troops retreated to the suburbs to await reinforcements. However, they also blocked all routes and communications leading into and out of the city. Meanwhile, inside of Liberated Gwangju, the Citizens’ Settlement Committee negotiated with the army, demanding the release of arrested citizens, compensation for the victims, and a prohibition of retaliation in exchange for disarming themselves. The army demanded immediate surrender and some in the committee were willing to give it to them. But those who wanted to resist until their demands were met took control of the committee.

On May 27, at 4 am, troops from five divisions moved on the protesters and defeated the civilian militias within 90 minutes.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a fine diplomatic line to walk. In January, his forces captured two North Korean soldiers who were fighting for Russia. He’s in discussions with Russia to exchange the prisoners for two Ukrainian captives. But @timkmak’s Counteroffensive reports that this may lose him the support of South Korea, an important ally since Ukraine was invaded.

Korea's Constitutional Court voted 8-0 in favor of removing Yoon Suk-yeol from office, and much credit goes to young Korean women who led the protests to oust Yoon after his botched martial law declaration.

There are definitely two Koreas—within South Korea.

In one, massive demographic changes outside Seoul are collapsing regional housing construction companies.

In the other, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who never saw a problem he couldn't make worse, has tipped off a speculative real-estate rush by loosening regulations, creating impossibly high housing prices in parts of the city

Goryeo-era Buddha statue, looted by pirates in 1377, returns to #Korea temporarily, after 647 years

« The 50.5-centimeter-tall Buddhist statue that Japanese pirates plundered and took to their country had been one of the two bronze statues that Korean thieves stole back from Kannon Temple on the Japanese island of Tsushima in October 2012. »

You have to let the people around you know what is happening here in the #US, you have to show them the video of #ElonMusk doing the #Nazi salute, you have to bear witness, let the people around you know, and get ready to stop them before they take your country too, urge them to leave Twitter, or at least crosspost to here, urge your politicians to ban Twitter, because if it can happen here, it can happen where you are too.

This is not politics, this is not a meme, and this is not a drill: this is your country. The Fascists they are on the move.

📚🖋️ #JohannesGutenberg is commonly perceived as the inventor of #printing, yet, #Asia pioneered printing centuries earlier. From the #DiamondSutra of 868 CE from #China to #Korea's metal movable type predating #Gutenberg's Bible by 80 years, Asia's innovations laid the groundwork for global information exchange. Inspired by a visit to the #GutenbergMuseum in #Mainz, I explored the fascinating history of printing in this article:

South #Korea Martial Law and WelsonJS Project

https://github.com/gnh1201/welsonjs/discussions/163

Today in Labor History December 12, 1945: The U.S. Army Military Government (USAMG), which occupied and controlled the southern half of the Korean peninsula from 9/8/45-8/15/48, outlawed the People’s Republic of Korea, which was occupied by the USSR. The USAMG banned strikes and opposition movements and starved civilians, leading to a deadly cholera outbreak and exacerbating popular discontent. Less than a year later, the Communist Party organized a General Strike. Deadly repression against the strikers further worsened discontent, leading to the Daegu and Jeju uprisings, in which thousands of workers were slaughtered by Korean forces, directed by U.S. advisors. In Jeju, up to 30,000 people, 10% of the entire population, were executed.

Sapsali , the dog in Korean TV-drama "Alchemy Of Souls " .

"A dog that chases away evil spirits and misfortune".
Sapsali has a rich history going back to Silla , 230 AC.
Kept by aristocrats first, later by commoners.
Appearing in many legends and myths, almost extinct in the 1990 ' s
Saved by Dr. Ha Ji-hongs, who brought it back from the last 8 dogs remaining.
Sapsali is a protected race now.

They planned on striking for 3 days, but when negotiations were refused the workers said their strike would be indefinite.
