(Internal and external broadcast = Announcer Jeong Ji-won/Editor Choi Seong-yeol PD) Cultural news that will heat up the week! Hello, this is announcer Jung Ji-won.
The keywords that will heat up the week are ‘King the Land’ and ‘fan dance’.
1. A big country that gave tax incentives to the Kingdom frenzy?
While the JTBC drama ‘King the Land’, which depicts the romance of beautiful men and women, is being highly praised, its popularity has reached overseas.
King the Land is raising the status of Korean dramas by taking first place for two consecutive weeks in Netflix’s non-English TV category last week.
In a recent episode, the story of the main characters going on a reward vacation to Thailand was aired, and as the Kingdom craze is blowing in Thailand, the Thai government is said to be actively promoting filming locations and attracting tourists.
According to a recent report by The Nation, a Thai media outlet, Deputy Spokesperson Traisuri Taisanarikkun said, “The Thailand episode of Kingdom The Land has caused a craze,” and added, “We have decided to expand tax benefits to encourage foreign production companies to film in Thailand.” It is.
Accordingly, Thai authorities plan to implement tax cuts for works and actors from foreign production companies or joint ventures filming in Thailand from the 2nd of next month.
In the drama, famous tourist attractions such as Wat Arun and Khao San Road, Icon Siam and Asiatique, and major foods are revealed, and viewers around the world are paying attention to Thailand.
Thailand’s Minister of Culture, Itthiphon Khunplem, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Through King the Land, Thailand’s beauty and culture are known to the world.”
The drama Kingdom depicts the story of salvation thrown into the King Hotel inheritance war and the love story of a one-month trainee, Cheon Sang-rang, starring Lee Jun-ho and Lim Yoon-ah.
2. Fan dance is a Chinese dance? Endless ‘Cultural Fair’
The fan dance is a traditional Korean dance performed by wearing a beautiful hanbok and holding colorful fans to make various shapes.
However, the National Palace Museum of Hong Kong introduces Korea’s fan dance as a Chinese dance, causing controversy.
In the published post, you can also see dancers wearing hanbok and performing a fan dance.
In response, Seo Kyung-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women’s University, said on social media that he had sent a protest mail to the Hong Kong Museum, saying, “Now, even the fan dance is being advertised as a Chinese culture.”
It was pointed out that introducing Korea’s representative dance as Chinese dance in Hong Kong’s representative museum is an act of cultural invasion.
Professor Seo said, “Following hanbok, kimchi, Arirang and pansori, now even the fan dance claims to be Chinese culture.”
In the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, when China introduced Korean-Chinese, one of the minority ethnic groups, they appeared wearing hanbok and performed a fan dance, drawing criticism.
As Professor Seo said, “We must protect our culture and history,” wouldn’t it be our task from now on to correct the wrongs and inform the world of our correct traditional culture?
This is the cultural news that will heat up the week. See you again in the next video~
