An expanded global presence ― this may best describe Korea's culture and art scene in 2022, as a wider sphere of cultural fields has been in the international spotlight.
‘확장된 세계적 존재감'은 광범위한 대중문화 영역이 국제적으로 주목 받는 중인 2022년 한국의 문화 및 예술 현장을 가장 잘 설명할 수 있을 듯하다.


These achievements were embodied in the many firsts and accolades bestowed at internationally acclaimed cultural festivals, including Korea's and Asia's first win at the Emmy Awards with "Squid Game," a Korean actor's first Cannes prize, dozens of awards in literature and classical music, the opening of a renowned art fair and new waves in K-pop and K-dramas.
이러한 성과는 ‘오징어게임'으로 한국 및 아시아 최초 에미상 수상, 한국 배우 최초 칸국제영화제 수상, 문학 및 클래식 음악 부문에서 수십 개의 상, 유명 아트페어 개최 및 K팝과 K드라마에서의 한류를 포함한 국제적으로 인정받는 문화 축제에서 받은 최초의 상들에 반영되어 있다.


Here are the top eight news stories in art and culture that have made the headlines in 2022.
지금부터 2022년 헤드라인을 장식한 예술 및 문화 분야의 핵심 뉴스 8가지를 소개한다.


Korean cinema rides high
한국 영화의 상승세


Auteur Park Chan-wook won the Best Director prize at the 75th Cannes Film Festival in May for his romance noir "Decision to Leave," becoming the second Korean director to win the award.
박찬욱 감독은 지난 5월 제75회 칸국제영화제에서 로맨스 느와르 영화 '헤어질결심'으로 한국 감독으로는 두 번째로 감독상을 수상했다.


It was his first directorial prize at Cannes although he had previously won the Grand Prix for the 2003 thriller "Oldboy" and the Jury Prize for the 2009 horror drama "Thirst."
스릴러 영화 '올드보이(2003)'로 심사위원 대상을, 공포 영화 '박쥐(2009)'로 심사위원상을 수상했지만 박찬욱 감동이 칸 영화제에서 감독상을 받은 것은 이번이 처음이다.


"Decision to Leave" was also nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards and Critics' Choice Awards.
'헤어질결심'은 다가오는 골든글로브 시상식과 크리틱스 초이스 시상식에서 외국어영화상 후보에 오르기도 했다.


At Cannes, veteran actor Song Kang-ho won the Best Actor prize for his role in "Broker," led by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda. He was the first Korean male actor to clinch a Cannes award.
칸국제영화제에서 베테랑 배우 송강호는 일본 고레에다 히로카즈 감독의 '브로커'로 남우주연상을 수상했다. 송강호는 칸 영화제에서 수상한 최초 한국 남자 배우다.


BTS, as group and as individuals
개인 및 그룹 활동 펼친 방탄소년단


BTS has continued to write its illustrious history as an outstanding K-pop group in many ways. It got Grammy nominations for three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023, received a big win at the American Music Awards for the fifth year in a row, won prizes at the Billboard Music Awards for the sixth consecutive year and achieved several other outstanding feats.
방탄소년단은 여러 면에서 뛰어난 K팝 그룹으로서 눈부신 역사를 쓰고 있다. 2021년부터 2023년까지 3년 연속 그래미 후보에 올랐고, 아메리칸 뮤직 어워드에서 5년 연속 큰 상을 받았으며, 빌보드 뮤직 어워드에서 6년 연속 수상하는 등 여러 놀라운 업적을 달성했다.


In June, the K-pop superstar group surprised the world by announcing the halting of group activities and instead choosing to focus on individual endeavors. The decision was made because members of the group will have to carry out their mandatory military service in the coming years. Enlistment began on Dec. 13 for BTS' eldest member, Jin.
지난 6월에 이 K팝 슈퍼스타 그룹은 그룹 활동 중단을 선언하고 개인 활동에 집중하겠다고 발표해 전 세계를 놀라게 했다. 멤버들이 추후 몇 년 안에 군 복무를 완수해야 하기 때문에 이러한 결정이 내려졌다. 방탄소년단의 맏형인 진은 지난 13일 입대했다.


The members have since made several solo endeavors, so far successfully: J-Hope, Jin and RM released solo albums, which all garnered good responses for their quality; Jin appeared in a dozen entertainment programs; RM has been emceeing on an educational-entertainment TV show; and Jungkook participated in the official soundtrack for the Qatar World Cup and performed at the opening ceremony.
이후 멤버들이 여러 차례 시도한 솔로활동은 지금까지 성공적으로 진행되었다. 제이홉과 RM은 높은 퀄리티의 솔로 앨범을 발매해 좋은 반응을 얻었다. 진은 12개의 예능 프로그램에 출연했다. RM은 교육 예능 TV 쇼의 MC로 활동하고 있다. 또한 정국은 카타르 월드컵 공식 OST에 참여하고 개막식 무대에서 공연했다.
