[Joseon Images] Children of early modern Korea
Joseon ImagesChildren of early modern Korea
There are certain times of the year that even the most mischievous child becomes well-behaved. For many Western children, it is the weeks leading up to Christmas; for Korean children it may be the weeks leading up to Children's Day on May 5.

Jeju Afrobeat band Omar and the Eastern Power transcends boundaries
Omar Benassila doesn't care much for boundaries, either in music or nations. If he did, he might not have left his home country of Morocco and settled in Korea, where he started Omar and the Eastern Power. It's an ever-evolving four-piece band most simply described as Afrobeat, with influences from dub, funk, folk and sufi music among others. It's an accumulation of the life ...

Sanji Narahara - raced down an impromptu 35-meter-long runway at Seoul's Yongsan and soared into the air reaching the astounding height of 30 meters off the ground.
