Farewell Peter Bartholomew, defender of Korea's heritage
Farewell Peter Bartholomew, defender of Korea's heritage
Sometime in the middle of the night of May 11 or 12, Peter Bartholomew's 53-year-long sojourn in Korea ended with his sudden, unexpected death. Known for his passionate defense of traditional Korean houses, or hanok, his deep appreciation for Korean history and culture, his relationship with Korea's royal family and his business success, he often appeared on television, in ne...

[Friends of Korea] Witnessing Gwangju's 1980 democratic uprising
Friends of KoreaWitnessing Gwangju's 1980 democratic uprising
May 18, 1980, started like most Sundays with the peal of church bells dominating the clucks of thousands of chickens enriching my village with their prolific egg production. As with four other of my Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV) colleagues who ended up in Gwangju during the May 18 democratic uprising (referred to as 5.18), the quiet start to the day did not prepare me for the u...

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. Although Bang Jeong-hwan is credited as the creator of this holiday in the 1920s, Children's Day's origin appears to go back much earlie...

Migrant groups say temporary stay permits for undocumented children 'ineffective'
A policy introduced by the Ministry of Justice to give undocumented migrant children legal status and allow them to have temporary residency rights, may not be helpful for those in need, according to local migrants' rights groups.

CityscapesExploring beneath Gwanghwamun's surface
A lot of people went nuts a few weeks back, when pictures distributed in the media showed an ancient stream unearthed in downtown Seoul as part of the Gwanghwamun renovation project. Its excavation was cool to me, while also a little banal, on account of how much is hidden beneath the ground we walk on.

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 ...
