  • My all-time favorite podcast! : perfect for Korean & English speakers!

  • 진행하는 남자 너무 무례하고 편견에 가득찬 말을 농담이랍시고 해요.

    자기가 남자라서 의심받았다는 얘기를 초장에 하고, 비건 얘기하는 중에 뜬금없이 고기 너무 맛있다는 소리 합니다. 재미 없고 무례합니다. 재치있다고 생각하겠지만 딱 권력 누리는 남자 같은 발언만 합니다. 아리랑 라디오는 이런 발언이 방송국 이름 돌아다녀도 괜찮습니까? 다루는 주제는 흥미로운데 진행자가 별로입니다. 제지 좀 해주세요.

This year emphasizes treating the palaces as living spaces where performance, ritual, food, design, and media art intersect, with the opening ceremony blending contemporary music and street-style performance with traditional elements, plus Jongmyo programs that fuse ceremony with accessible storytelling.
Korea’s Study Space Culture
Q: What were the traditional study spaces in Korea like, and why did they fall out of favor?
Traditional spaces like doksaseul and goshiwon were focused on extreme concentration and exam prep, with strict quietness and minimal comfort, which became less appealing as students demanded more flexible, comfortable, and accessible environments.

It is a memorial dedicated to the victims of Japan's wartime sexual slavery system, with the first statue installed in 2011 to commemorate ongoing demonstrations and the history of comfort women; its location and symbolism aim to educate visitors and honor those affected while highlighting unresolved historical responsibility.
