That certainly does seem like a very exciting new production, and with the taekwondo, it's
something that many audiences may not have experienced.
That's right, it combines a great story with the excitement of martial arts to create an
interesting and fun production.
Alright, now on to some ideas for Culture Day?
Well, it seems that the brand new Seoul branch of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art
was among the top places to visit for Culture Day, boasting an increase of 167 percent compared
to the day before.
That is quite impressive indeed.
And since art exhibitions seem like the hot ticket, how about some wonderful and unique
art exhibitions that you may not have known about?
Let's take a look.
On the rooftop of an art museum under the night sky... a peculiar light can be seen,
lit up inside what looks to be a small room.
This is a unique installation titled "Disappearing Room."
Visitors can experience what it feels like to disappear, while also enjoying the nighttime
scenery.
"Visitors can go into the room and really disappear.
My intent was to create a slapstick comedy type of experience for visitors to enjoy."
Ten artists have gathered to present unique exhibitions held not inside -- but on top
of and around the museum grounds.
And the "Disappearing Room" is just one part of the exhibition titled "6 - 8" that is currently
being held at the Gyeongju branch of Artsonje Center in Gyeongsanbuk-do until March 29th.
The title simply represents the hours that the exhibition can be enjoyed -- from six
to eight in the evening.
Also currently on display is the craft exhibition "Ohn Ki."
It's a massive collection by over 100 artists and designers, displaying over 360 pieces
of artwork, including pieces by master artisan Min Young-ki, whose works have been displayed
at the Victoria Albert Museum in England and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
This comprehensive craft exhibition consists of both classic crafts by master artisans
and also more contemporary works crafted by modern artists.
The title "Ohn Ki" depicts the passion of the artist and the perfection of the crafts,
which can be experienced at Culture Station Seoul 284 in Jongno-gu, Seoul, until March
9th.
Those are some great ideas for the many fans of art and culture that will be out and about
for Korea's second monthly Culture Day tomorrow and of course on the weekend.
And these are just a few of the 1,000 venues that are participating in this month's Culture
Day.
So, with the success that this idea seems to be having, do you think the number of participating
venues will continue to increase as the year goes on?
Oh, I definitely do see this becoming bigger and bigger.
And take this into consideration -- the months following the year-end holidays, the colder
months of January, February and even March are what are considered the slow season for
cultural activities.
Yet even at this time, we're seeing a positive reaction from both residents of Korea and
participating venues.
This is definitely a great sign of things to come when the culture season really starts
picking up as the weather gets warmer.
Alright.
Sounds great to me.
Thank you, Tae Ho, and we'll see you again tomorrow.
You're welcome.
Have a good afternoon.
