The combination of modern Pansori and energetic dancers in the first three videos of the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) "Feel the Rhythm of KOREA" series on YouTube has attracted worldwide attention. Following the popularity of the video, KTO then released three other videos with interesting attractions in other cities: Gangneung, Mokpo, and Andong. The cheerful music and unique dance moves are still the highlight in this video.


Feel the Rhythm of Korea: Gangneung, Gangwon-do

The first place in Gangneung is Yeongjin Beach, one of the favorite attractions of Korean drama lovers. This beach became popular thanks to the drama "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016)", where the scene of Goblin (Gong Yoo) giving white buckwheat flowers to the female lead (Kim Go-eun) was taken in one of the breakers. Many tourists visit Yeongjin beach to recreate the drama scene.

Next is Hyangho beach. This beach is famous for the BTS Bus Stop, which appears on the cover of BTS's second album. The bus stop was originally only built for BTS album shoots. However, due to being very popular with BTS fans, Gangneung City finally decided to reinstall the bus stop and make it a photo zone for tourists. Apart from that, Hyangho beach offers many outdoor activities such as camping and surfing.

The last tourist attraction that appeared was the Naksansa temple. This temple in the Yangyang-gun area was founded in 671. It is famous for its beautiful coastal views and the large statue of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara on its coast. Many tourists visit on New Year's Day to watch the first sunrise from the Uisangdae Pavilion.

Gerakan silhak pada dinasti joseon di korea selatan

Gambar
Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po...

Jjukkumi, one of South Korea's signature dishes that you must try

Gambar
  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu. Jukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum is made from two basic ingredients, namely jukkumi and samgyeopsal.
