Advocacy group launched to improve labor conditions for Cambodian migrant workers
Advocacy group launched to improve labor conditions for Cambodian migrant workers
In December last year, a Cambodian migrant worker in her 30s was found dead inside a greenhouse that was being used as accommodation for foreign workers at a farm in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. The death shed light on the poor working and housing conditions of migrant workers here. A year has passed, but foreign employees in the agricultural sector still face long working hou...

French photographer visits same mountain 100 times
French photographer Romain found inspiration high up the slope of Mount Samseong, a 481-meter mountain standing in southwestern Seoul and Anyang, Gyeonggi Province. His muse?

RAS KoreaRAS Korea digitizes art historian Jon Carter Covell's 2,000 photos
Before there was a “K” anything, Dr. Jon Carter Covell was Korea's biggest “K-fan.” Royal Asiatic Society (RAS) Korea has digitized her massive collection of more than 2,000 color slides, taken from the late 1970s to mid-1980s. So far, the project has been ongoing for almost one full year, thanks to Ms. Pak Ji-young volunteering to do the work by coming in one day a week. The...

[Korea Encounters] 'Traitorous' translators tread carefully in Korean literature
Korea Encounters'Traitorous' translators tread carefully in Korean literature
While the global success of Korean popular culture obviously owes a great deal to its creators, the popularity of the TV series “Squid Game,” Bong Joon-ho's Best Picture Oscar for “Parasite” and the winning of the Booker International Prize by Han Kang for her novel “The Vegetarian,” all owe a great deal to their translators.

South African singer-songwriter in Gwangju forges unique art event
For most weekend punters, the going out and “clubbing” experience can be rather predictable. Go to a bar, get a few drinks and some snacks, maybe play pool or some darts. Head out to a club, get down to some beats played by the DJ - and generally pay a premium for it.

Photographer's dirty secret: flash is your friend
Photographer's dirty secret: flash is your friend
I've met so many “natural light photographers” who are convinced that “flash is so harsh and unnatural.” I've heard many a photographer - especially after Seoul Fashion Week has swelled the ranks of street fashion photographers shooting outdoors - say things like “I only like to shoot in natural light. It looks so much better.” This is just about as wrong as “I prefer the loo...

US indie artist recalls childhood in 1980s Korea
US indie artist recalls childhood in 1980s Korea
To describe a debut album as “a lifetime in the making,” is a level of cliche that will usually induce emphatic eye rolls and loud sighs from just about everyone. However, in the case of “Comfortably High,” by Griffith James, such a statement is indeed true on multiple levels.
