Podcasts about Koryo

Simon Cockerell is from the south-west of England. He moved to Beijing in 2000, becoming Koryo Tour's General Manager two years later. Having traveled to North Korea 182 times, he has probably been to the country more than any other westerner. Simon is a respected speaker on the DPRK and appears regularly in international media. Simon's tireless work, alongside Koryo's partners in Pyongyang, has been essential in opening up new territories within the DPRK to tourists.   You can follow Simon's adventures on his Instagram account: @simonkoryo.   On this episode, Simon shares his one way ticket to a future utopian post-scarcity society. He offers why and what it will look like, including how travel may be impacted.   Plus, Simon talks all about venturing to North Korea – from who goes and why, the “dos and don'ts” once you're there, his favorite spots, and what would surprise most people about the country.    The DPRK has been closed to tourists since January 2020 and since September 1, 2017, the U.S. government has banned people traveling with a U.S. passport to the country. Like many, Simon is waiting for travelers to be able to visit North Korea once again.   Meanwhile, Koryo Tours orchestrates some tremendous tours to off-the-beaten-path destinations (Turkmenistan, anyone?) which Simon also spotlights in our conversation.  

Wykład Joanny Bojarskiej Cieślik towarzyszący wystawie „Splendor i finezja. Duch i materia w sztuce Korei”, Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie, 17 października 2019 [1h20min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/splendor-i-finezja-duch-i-materia-w-sztuce-korei/ Wystawa „Splendor i finezja. Duch i materia w sztuce Korei” w Muzeum Narodowym w Warszawie to pierwsza w Polsce próba ukazania całokształtu kultury Korei. Ekspozycja powstała w wyniku współpracy z Muzeum Narodowym w Seulu. Pokazuje 244 zabytki kultury koreańskiej, które datowane są od czasów prehistorycznych po XIX w. Joanna Bojarska-Cieślik, kuratorka wystawy ze strony polskiej, podczas wykładu opowiedziała o kulisach przygotowywania ekspozycji. Omówiła również wybrane eksponaty, przedstawiając kontekst historyczno-kulturowy, jaki towarzyszył ich powstaniu. Prelegentka rozpoczęła wykład od wyjaśnienia genezy tytułu: „Splendor i finezja. Duch i materia w sztuce Korei”. Jak powiedziała, splendor uosabia prezentowana na ekspozycji królewska korona z Królestwa Silla z VI w., a finezję seladony z czasów Królestwa Joseon z XII-XIII w. Duch i materia z kolei – wyjaśniła kuratorka wystawy – jest w taoizmie gwarantem harmonii na świecie. Sztuka polska w Korei Pomysł na pokazanie sztuki koreańskiej w stolicy Polski narodził się – mówiła Bojarska-Cieślik – w 2015 roku. Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie zaprezentowało wtedy w Pekinie wystawę „Skarby z kraju Chopina”, która pokazywała polską historię od czasów najdawniejszych po współczesne. Wystawa zainteresowała Koreańskie Muzeum Narodowe w Seulu. W stolicy Korei Południowej zorganizowano wkrótce ekspozycję „Sztuka polska: Niezłomny duch”. Jak opowiadała prelegentka, Koreańczycy byli zaskoczeni, że mimo dystansu geograficznego i kulturowego, jaki dzieli Polskę i Koreę, historia obu krajów ma wątki wspólne. Koreańczycy, tak jak Polacy, zaznali krzywd ze strony sąsiadów ze wschodu i zachodu – w ich przypadku Chin i Japonii. Podobnie jak Polska, Korea wskutek najazdów utraciła wiele ze swoich zabytków. Rozmowy o wystawie 244 zabytki pokazywane na wystawie „Splendor i finezja. Duch i materia w kulturze Korei” oprócz jednego pochodzą ze zbiorów Koreańskiego Muzeum Narodowego w Seulu. Polsko-koreańskie rozmowy na temat zorganizowania ekspozycji w Warszawie – relacjonowała kuratorka – rozpoczęły się 2017 roku. Koreańczycy proponowali, była wystawa prezentowała wątek uczonego-urzędnika, co nie wzbudziło zainteresowania polskich muzealników. Ostatecznie Koreańczycy dali się przekonać do zorganizowania wystawy pokazującej całokształt kultury ich kraju. Kartą przetargową, która „mile łechtała ego Koreańczyków” – opowiadała Bojarska-Cieslik – stała się chęć pokazania, jak stara jest kultura Korei. Scenografia ekspozycji Scenografia wystawy została przygotowana przez polskich architektów. Zbudowano ją wyłącznie z drewna pozbawionego dekoracji oraz papieru. Zamiarem organizatorów było – tłumaczyła kuratorka – zorganizowanie jej w ceniącym prostotę i skromność duchu neokonfucjańskim, który był obecny w kulturze Korei od XIV do XIX w. Charakterystycznym elementem scenografii są papiery, na których nadrukowane są teksty. Bojarska-Cieślik wyjaśniła, że jest to nawiązanie do ruchomej metalowej czcionki, która została odkryta w Królestwie Koryo na sto lat przed wynalazkiem Guttenberga. Zwróciła również uwagę, że wszystkie infografiki na wystawie są wykonane ręcznie. Prezentowane eksponaty Podczas drugiej części wystąpienia prelegentka omówiła wybrane zabytki prezentowane na wystawie „Splendor i finezja. Duch i materia w kulturze Korei”. W trakcie prezentacji kuratorka przedstawiła kontekst historyczno-kulturowy, jaki towarzyszył ich powstaniu.

Koryo Saram refers to the ethnic Koreans who migrated to the Russian Far East and Central Asia, particularly Kazakhstan, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The migration was mainly a result of economic opportunities and political instability in the Korean Peninsula during that period. But beyond the political and historical existence, there are people. Daniil and Yona are two of these people both trying to find their way in modern Korean society. Their identities, language skills, and feelings towards their homeland are very different, yet they relate to each other. With the help of Yunseo, we explored what it means to be a Koryo Saram and discovered much along the way.   Find them online/instagram Pak Yona: @pkyo1 Daniil: @dnlyeux Yunseo: @y_jeon_s   고려인 Youth Organization: https://www.instagram.com/ks.youthwave/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== 대한고려인협회: https://www.instagram.com/koryosaraminkorea/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== Overseas Koreans: https://www.okocc.or.kr/portal_en/global/okf_webzine.do   Discussion Outline 0:00 Introducing the Koryo Saram 25:00 Leaving Moscow: War and Politics 33:15 University and Visas 39:42 Language and Culture 45:30 Appearance and Visuals 53:33 Famous Koryo Saram in Pop Culture 59:20 Multicultural Korea 1:05:00 The Geography of Koryo Saram 1:11:30 North Korea 1:22:50 Misconceptions about Koryo Saram 1:42:50 Final Observations   Korea Deconstructed by David Tizzard ▶ Get in touch: datizzard@swu.ac.kr ▶ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=62047873 ▶ Watch us on Youtube: /davidtizzard ▶ Listen on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/kr/podcast/korea-deconstructed/id1587269128 ▶Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5zdXkG0aAAHnDwOvd0jXEE ▶ Listen on podcasts: https://koreadeconstructed.libsyn.com/ ▶ Music: Fighting by Disorientalz (https://www.instagram.com/disorientalz/) ▶ Recorded at 허브 36.5: https://www.instagram.com/the_story_from_you/

Today Korea is divided between North and South, but the founding of the Koryo Kingdom in the 10th Century was the first time the peninsula was truly united and when a sense of nationhood emerged. The Koryo Kingdom is remembered for some of the finest cultural achievements in the country's history; it developed the world's first printing press – 200 years before the German inventor Johannes Gutenberg came up with his own version, and it is also a period marked by beautiful ceramics and art. But what is less well known is how progressive its politics and society were; promotion was based on merit, women were given greater rights, and monarchs ruled through co-operation. It was also a turbulent time with personal intrigue and back stabbing at court, and constant threats of foreign invasion. Rajan Datar finds out more about the Koryo Kingdom. He is joined by Sang'ah Kim, the Korean Collections' Curator at the British Museum in London; Dr Charlotte Horlyck, reader in Korean Art History at SOAS, University of London, who has written about the collecting of Koryo Art in the early 20th Century; Edward (Ned) Shultz, professor emeritus in Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii, and Dr Juhn Ahn, associate professor in Buddhism and Korean studies at the University of Michigan in the United States and author of Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in 14th Century Korea.

In 1231, Mongol forces invaded the Korean Peninsula, beginning almost three decades of warfare against the Koryŏ Kingdom. In 1258, the Koryŏ court finally surrendered and the kingdom became a part of the Mongol Empire. King Kwong Wong, an independent scholar who specializes in the relationship between the Mongol-Yuan and Koryŏ, joins us to give a brief look into this fascinating period in Korean history. He will talk about why Koryŏ surrendered to the Mongol-Yuan, how the Mongols integrated Koryŏ into their empire, what that relationship came to look like, and how Koryŏ dealt with the fall of the Mongols in the second half of the fourteenth century. Contributors: King Kwong Wong King Kwong Wong is an independent scholar who received his Master's Degree in Chinese History from the University of Southern California. He is now working as a part-time lecturer at the Hong Kong University's School of Professional and Continuing Education. His research focuses on Koryŏ Korea during the Mongol-Yuan period, and he recently published a paper titled "All Are the Ruler's Domain, but All Are Different: Mongol-Yuan Rule and Koryŏ Sovereignty in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries", which explores how Koryŏ literati viewed the idea of sovereignty and their state's relationship with the Mongol-Yuan. Yiming Ha Yiming Ha is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. His current research is on military mobilization and state-building in China between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on how military institutions changed over time, how the state responded to these changes, the disconnect between the center and localities, and the broader implications that the military had on the state. His project highlights in particular the role of the Mongol Yuan in introducing an alternative form of military mobilization that radically transformed the Chinese state. He is also interested in military history, nomadic history, comparative Eurasian state-building, and the history of maritime interactions in early modern East Asia. He received his BA from UCLA and his MPhil from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

"The Two Brothers" is a Korean folktale based on a true story of two Korean brothers named Sung Man and Sook Lee, who lived during the late Koryo and early Chosun period. The Lee brothers were from the province called Choongcheongnam-do. The Lee brothers were not only kind to one another, but their love and respect for their parents were so great that in 1420, King Saejong gave them a special reward for their filial piety. The story of their brotherly love and devotion to each other, and their family, led to this famous Korean folktale. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/esther-song9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/esther-song9/support

A lo largo de nuestras entrevistas nos hemos encontrado con que la mayoría de los atletas han buscado una escuela donde entrenar taekwondo.La entrevista de hoy es con una curiosa historia. El taekwondo encontró a Claudia en su casa. Un día bajó las escaleras del edificio en que vivía para ir a comprar pan, cuando se dio cuenta de que lo que era un local vacío se transformó en una academia de taekwondo, el Club Seúl dirigido por el profesor Galo Garzón.Lo primero que vio Claudia Cardenas, medallista mundial en poomsae, fue a dos niños haciendo golpe medio en posición de jinete.Las extrañas cosas que le han sucedido a Claudia antes de sus competencias.Y lo mejor de esta entrevista es que Claudia ha tenido diferentes anécdotas dentro de su vida en el taekwondo que hacen pensar que estaba desde niña destinada a vivir el taekwondo.Pero antes de contarte esas anécdotas, solo quiero decirte que Claudia Cardenas ha sido medallista mundial dos veces. Una como pareja con su compañero Henry Sigchos en el mundial de Tunja 2012 y la otra individual en el mundial de Lima 2016.¿Por qué Claudia se enamoró del taekwondo a primera vista?Desde ese primer encuentro con el taekwondo, Claudia quedó fascinada e insistió a su madre hasta que consiguió que la inscribieron.Claudia nos cuenta con mucha pasión como todo le encantaba del taekwondo, hasta que su maestro le dijo que cuando quisiera podía entrenar. Si todos los niños entrenaban una hora, ella se quedaba extra, a veces hasta tres o cuatro horas.Llegó incluso a ganarse el regaño de su madre porque un día era tarde y no llegaba a casa. Y lo que pasaba era que estaba entrenando taekwondo.Historias como la de ella me hacen pensar mucho en la vocación. Hay gente que nace para algo, y es muy importante encontrar ese algo.¿Por qué es tan importante aprovechar las oportunidades?En sus inicios, compitió tanto en combate como en poomsae. Llegó a ser seleccionada de su provincia en ambas modalidades.Llegó el momento en que se decidió por el poomsae, que siempre fue su pasión y no tardó mucho en poder llegar a la selección B del Ecuador, dirigida por el profesor Javier Romero.Con esa selección iba a viajar a un torneo en Perú. Y aquí es donde ocurre otra anécdota interesante. La secretaria encargada de hacer las inscripciones y reservaciones de viaje, cometió un error y compró los boletos de avión de Claudia para Costa Rica, donde la selección A iba a competir en el segundo abierto de Costa Rica.Claudia apenas era azul avanzada y para competir en ese evento se tuvo que aprender Taeguk7, Taeguk 8, Koryo, Keumgang y Taebek.¿Y qué hizo Claudia?¿Quejarse del error? Pues no, aprovechar la oportunidad y aprenderse todas esas formas.Fue a Costa Rica y ganó el evento.¿Te ha pasado que sueñas algo y se vuelve real?Llegó el momento para prepararse para el mundial de Colombia y naturalmente algo tenía que ocurrir.Así fue esta entrevista. Para cada evento Claudia tiene una historia increíble.Claudia soñó tiempo antes del evento, durante la etapa de preparación, que iba a ganar bronce en la modalidad de parejas.Le contó a su compañero el sueño. Pasó el tiempo y el día del evento conforme iban avanzando rondas fueron recordando el sueño.¿Qué piensas de esta experiencia? ¿Te ha pasado alguna vez? ¿Soñar con algo y que luego se vuelva realidad?Para el mundial de Lima y la medalla de Bronce que Claudia obtuvo ahí hay otra historia.La importancia de la visualización.En el periodo preparatorio de la competencia tuvo una lesión muy fuerte. Y por tres semanas no pudo más que entrenar el tren superior.No hacer patadas naturalmente, ni siquiera podía hacer posiciones. Enfrentar una situación como esa podría hacer que muchos se rindan.Puedes pensar, bueno, esto no es para mí. Es una señal que me lesione y adios al mundial.Claudia tenía muy claras sus metas. En ese entonces trabajaba con Noel Rodríguez, un psicólogo deportivo que junto con su entrenador Raúl Rojas desarrollaron una estrategia de visualización.En vez de patear, Claudia visualizaba la acción de pateo. Cuando sus compañeros de Selección pateaban, Claudia ponía su máximo empeño en visualizar la acción.Cuando ya estaba recupearndose y pudo intentar una patada. Notó que le salía mejor de lo que esperaba.Y algo muy interesante que nos dice, es que esa situación adversa, la hizo crecer mentalmente y ella piensa que si no hubiera enfrentado esa adversidad no hubiera obtenido el Bronce en el mundial.La entrevista con Claudia es una oportunidad para aprender cómo aprovechar las situaciones “adversas” en nuestro favor.Es una entrevista que ayudará a quien la escuche, practique taekwondo o no.¿Tú que piensas?

Having visited North Korea 182 times, Simon Cockerell (General Manager of Koryo Tours) takes us on an incredible journey through The DPRK. Simon has been visiting this fascinating country surrounded by secrecy for over 15 years. In this episode we hear the truth behind rumours and myths about the most mysterious nation in the world, what it is like to see Kim Jong-Un in person, and what happens when you break the rules...

Had you to guess a kingdom to offer decades of resistance to the Mongols at the height of their power, Korea might not have been high on your list. Situated close to Mongol dominated North China and first coming to Mongol attention at the start of the 1220s, it took until the beginning of the 1260s for the peninsula to be firmly under Mongol rule. Today’s episode will detail the long and devastating Mongol war in Korea and the final subjugation during the reign of Great Khan Mongke. I’m your host David, and this is Kings and Generals: Ages of Conquest.   By the 13th century the Korean peninsula had been ruled by the house of Wang since 918. Their kingdom was called Koryo [also written Goryeo (Gor-yeo)], a shortened form of the name of the more ancient Korean Kingdom of Kokuryeo (kok-ur-yeo) [also written Goguryeo] which fell in 668 CE. Both terms are the origin of the modern name for the peninsula. Smaller in scale than the empire of Kokuryeo, the 13th century Koryo kingdom’s territory did not extend much past the Yalu river. Staunch Buddhists, the Kingdom of Koryo was a major player in regional trade and commerce, and a centre of art and culture, and was a proud state. Successfully resisting invasions by the Khitan Liao and Jurchen Jin, Koryo entered into tributary relationships with both but maintained its internal autonomy, and unique worldview where the Korean King was essentially also son of Heaven, alongside the Chinese monarch who traditionally held the title. Similar to the contemporary Song Dynasty, military roles were subservient to the civilian classes and excluded from powerful civil positions. Despite the military being key to repulsing the Jurchen invasion of the 1120s, they gained no recognition, or promotions, for their efforts. Conditions worsened over the 12th century when revolts needed the military to be crushed. During the reign of King Uijong from 1146-1170, matters came to a head. More interested in visiting Buddhist temples than governing, under Uijong, corruption peaked. Government institutions were controlled by aristocratic families competing with the central government, the court was divided among factional lines and critics were exiled. These grievances fed into existing frustrations of the military leaders, ultimately culminating in a coup by the general Chong Chungbu in 1170. The King was dethroned in favour of a brother, and military leaders assumed most of the top offices. This was the beginning of a century of military dictatorship in Korea, its kings reduced to puppets. It was a system remarkably similar to the shogunate established at nearly the same time by Minamoto no Yoritomo in Japan, wherein the Japanese Emperor still head his title and conducted ceremonial roles, but real power was held by the shogun- though after Yoritomo’s death in 1199, real power was held by regents, the shikken of the Hojo clan.    Chungbu struggled to exercise his authority and could not fix the problems facing Koryo; revolts across the country continued and Chungbu was ousted by rivals in 1178, followed in turn by a succession of generals vying for power. It was not until 1196 when the general Ch’oe Ch’unghon assassinated the military dictator. A skilled and brave warrior, Ch’oe Ch’unghon was also a patriot, and saw the years of failed military rule as a disaster for his career, and for Koryo. Ch’oe was adept at political maneuvering. After assassinating the current dictator, he met the King and explained his actions. Gaining royal approval, his authority was established quickly. With support of the Korean King- whom Ch’oe Ch’unghon soon replaced- as well as key military figures, Ch’oe rooted out rivals, skillfully threw bones to military officers, civil leaders and literati, and revitalized the dynasty. Authority was extended through existing dynastic institutions, reformed to weed out corruption but ensured loyal men were in control of those institutions. Marriage ties cemented political alliances, and Ch’oe Ch’unghon essentially established his own dynasty alongside the royal dynasty. He was careful to ensure that alternate power bases to his own were undermined: government military forces weakened while he built up his own private army. Knowing how to champion Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, Ch’oe Ch’unghon masterfully manipulated his public image and public works. Allowing the King to focus on ceremonial and religious roles, Ch’oe’s tight lease on government meant that, over the first decade of the thirteenth century, he felt his position on HIS peninsula to be quite secure.   But like so many others, Ch’oe Ch’unghon’s plans were upset by a little someone named Chinggis Khan. The Great Khan’s invasion of the Jin Empire began in 1211, during which the Korean ambassador to the Jin was killed in the fighting. We have little information on what the Koreans and Ch’oe Ch’unghon thought of the rapid Mongol conquest of the Jin. During these centuries, the Korean kingdoms were always concerned with their northern border with Manchuria, where the Manchurian tribesmen, be they Khitan or Jurchen, invariably proved dangerous foes, crossing to raid in small parties or conquer with full armies. As Jin Dynastic authority collapsed in their Manchurian homeland, the Koreans watched the north uneasily. There, aside from the ongoing warfare, two new states were formed: the first was a Khitan Kingdom in central Manchuria, a “restored” Liao Dynasty made subject to the Mongols in 1212. The second was in Eastern Manchuria and Russia’s Primorsky Krai, founded by the Jin defector Puxian Wannu in 1215, which soon submitted to the Mongols. The latter is often called the Kingdom of Ta-chen, Tung-chen or the Eastern Xia. The frontiers north of Korea were unstable, and Ch’oe Ch’unghon expected trouble would spill over his borders sooner or later.   In 1216 as many as 90,000 rebel Khitans displaced by Jin forces overran Wannu’s southern territory. A few months later, Mongols accompanied by loyal Khitans chased these rebel Khitans from Wannu’s borders. The rebels’ requests to Koryo for aid were denied, and stuck between the Mongols and Korea, the Khitans chose Korea. In autumn 1216 the Khitans blazed through the Korean border defences. Skilled horse archers, the Khitans drove deep into Korea, menacing the capital, modern Kaesong. Korean military resistance contained them to the northern half of the country. Aside from a brief foray back over the border to gain reinforcements in autumn 1217, the Khitans spent most of 1217 and 1218 pillaging and plundering in the northeast.    Unexpectedly, in winter 1218 10,000 Mongols under the command of Qacin and Jala, with 20,000 troops provided by Wannu, arrived in Korea. The Mongols sent a simple message to the Koreans: they would crush the rebel Khitans, requested troops and provisions from the Koreans to assist with this, and then would enter into the same tributary relationship the Koreans had with Liao and Jin. After a brief delay in answering the Koreans acquiesced, sending 1,000 picked troops and 1,000 bushels of rice. The rebels Khitans were crushed, and Korea began sending tribute to the Mongols in 1219.    Korea’s first Mongol experience was relatively peaceful. Though forced to send tribute, their cities had not suffered. Ch’oe Ch’unghon’s advancing age, failing health, and desire to pass his rule onto his son stopped him from taking any provocative actions. A keen observer, he had judged the danger of this new foe, expecting the relationship would differ little from Liao or Jin tribute demands. Ch’oe Ch’unghon died in late 1219, and was succeeded by his oldest son, Ch’oe U. A military man like his father, an effective administrator and decisive leader, though not quite as cautious, Ch’oe U helmed Koryo for the next two decades. Ch’oe U found Mongol demands were downright rapacious, especially for otter skins, highly desired for their water resistant properties. For a people who lived their entire lives outdoors, an otter-skin cap was a valuable product. The chief Mongol envoy to Korea, Ja’uyu (Chao-ku-yu), was said to have abandoned the rest of the tribute at the border and just kept the otter skins!   As we’ve noted in episodes past, when Chinggis Khan marched west against the Khwarezmian Empire in 1219 his general Mukhali was left to maintain pressure on the Jin Dynasty. With Mukhali’s death in 1223, the reduced Mongol military presence in north China and with Chinggis still in Central Asia, the political situation across the region changed dramatically. The end of hostilities between the Jin, Xi Xia and Song Dynasties around 1225 we’ve dealt with already, but changes occurred even in Manchuria and Korea. There, Puxian Wannu renewed his independence and asked for alliance with Koryo. The Koreans declined, but made their own moves. In 1225 the chief Mongol envoy to Korea, the aforementioned Ja’uyu (Chao-ku-yu), mysteriously disappeared while transporting the annual tribute north. The Koreans insisted it was bandits, but the Mongols put the blame square on Koryo.    Ogedai Khaan was enthroned in 1229 and immediately set about bringing the region to heel. The Jin Dynasty took his personal attention and was destroyed by 1234. Both Puxian Wannu and the Koreans were also to be punished. Initially the new Khaan demanded Korea aid in an attack against Wannu. With the failure of the Koreans to comply, Ogedai ordered an invasion of the peninsula, the first of six Mongol invasions. Led by Sartaq-Qorchi, the army crossed the Yalu River in autumn 1231. The attack was overwhelming; the government armies were annihilated in the field and the capital surrounded. There was some notable resistance at a few fortified cities, none more famous than the defence of Kuju. Famed for a victory over the Khitans in 1018, in late 1231 through early 1232 under the command of Pak So, the city withstood weeks of constant Mongol assault. The most famous event occurred early in the siege. The southern wall of the city was defended by Kim Kyongson and a skilled unit of pyolch’o, translated as Defense Command Patrol, Extraordinary Watches or Night Patrol. These were local troops from outside the regular army, an elite militia specializing in guerilla warfare. Sending most of the unit inside the city, Kim Kyongson led a group of 12 picked men before the south gate. Telling them “not to think of their lives and accept death as their fate,” Kim and his men withstood four or five Mongol charges. Taking an arrow to the arm, Kim and his forces stood proudly and girded the city to further resistance;  Attacks were launched on the walls day and night: carts of dry grass and wood were pushed to the gates to burn them, only to be destroyed by Korean catapults; a tower built before the walls to protect sappers was destroyed when the Koreans dug holes through their own walls to pour molten iron onto it. 15 large catapults were driven off by the Korean counter artillery; scaling ladders were toppled by Korean polearms. Bundles of sticks soaked allegedly in human fat, set aflame and hurled into the city could not be put out with water, but were smothered with mud and earth. Another catapult team through constant barrage made 50 breaches in the walls, which the defenders filled back in as the holes were made. After a month of terrible destruction but no success, the Mongol siege was lifted, deciding the city was protected by heaven.   Kuju city and other select settlements outlasted the central government. Military ruler Ch’oe U came to terms with the Mongols in January 1232, and was so frustrated that Kuju had continued to resist that he wanted to have its commanders, Pak So and Kim Kyongson, executed fearing Mongol retaliation. Here the Mongols are said to have interceded, saying: “Although he went contrary to our orders, he is a loyal subject of yours. We are not going to kill him now that you have already pledged peace with us. Would it be proper to kill the loyal subjects of all your cities?”   Still, Koryo had submitted to Sartaq-qorchi in the first month of 1232. The tribute demands were massive. 20,000 horses, 20,000 otter skins, slaves, royal hostages and clothing for 1 million men were demanded, alongside gold, silver and other treasures. The demands were impossible to meet; within a few months the Koreans had procured barely 1,000 otter skins. 72 Mongol darughachin were appointed to oversee Koryo, and Sartaq withdrew his forces, considering the peninsula conquered.    The Koreans were less keen to comply, however. The demands were onerous; while they sent much in gifts, they were unwilling to send royal hostages. Ch’oe U organized sambyolch’o units, a sort of paramilitary police force of the house of Ch’oe. By the end of spring 1232, Ch’oe held a meeting of his top ministers to decide the course of action. In June and July, the plan was struck. Ch’oe U, the King and the court moved from the capital at Kaesong to Kanghwa island offshore, making it the new administrative centre of Korea, protected by the experienced Korean navy. Mongol officials in Korea were murdered and the peninsula was in open revolt. Sartaq returned in fall 1232, blazing a trail of destruction across the northern half of the country until he was killed during a siege by a Buddhist monk turned archer, Kim Yunhu. On Sartaq’s death, the Mongol army withdrew.   The Mongols were not done with Korea. The defection of one Korean commander, Hong Pogwon, gave them control of Korea stretching north from Pyongyang, which Hong was made the overseer of. In early 1233 a Mongol envoy came with a list of grievances and demands, among them that Koreans had to fight against Puxian Wannu- though this came to naught, as Wannu’s kingdom, and the connection between his head and his neck, were removed from the scene later that year by armies under Ogedai’s son Guyuk. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty in 1234, a quriltai was held in Mongolia in 1235 to determine the next campaigns. Attacks were ordered against the Song Dynasty, Guyuk, Subutai and Batu were sent on the great western campaign, and another army, this time under Tangut Ba’atar, was sent to Korea.    Tangut Ba’atar’s invasion in summer 1235 was hugely destructive; with the assistance of Hong Pogwon by winter 1236, he had penetrated some 470 kilometres into Korea. The Koreans were unable to field armies against them, and alternative strategies were developed to respond. Just as the court had fled to Kanghwa Island, most of the population outside of fortified settlements was ordered to flee to coastal islands or mountain refuges, where they could escape Mongol riders. Offensives were limited to guerilla warfare, pyolch’o units launching surprise night raids, ambushes through mountain passes and striking small parties. Hitting quick and hard and making use of their excellent knowledge of local terrain, these small units were actually more mobile than the Mongols. It was a frustrating way of war for the Mongols, and when the Mongols got frustrated, the devastation only increased. Fortified settlements were left to fend for themselves, and when they did fall, the destruction was horrific. The countryside was ravaged, the death toll horrendous. The guerilla tactics could harass but not stop the Mongols, who in turn, unable to strike directly at the royal court or military dictator, could not immediately bring the country to submission. Korean defections to the Mongols were enormous; and in many respects the Ch’oe rulers had chosen a strategy to bring the most damage to their people.   By winter 1238, the Korean court was willing to come to talks with the Mongols to halt the destruction.  Tangut Ba’atar withdrew his forces with talks ongoing and it seemed the Koreans would pledge eternal submission. As the Koreans feared, the Mongolian idea of negotiated settlement was a bit different from their own. Alongside the expected tribute demands, the Mongols required a census, the court could no longer stay on Kanghwa Island, and the Korean King, at that time Kojong, had to present himself to the Mongol court. For the military ruler Ch’oe U, this presented an issue. His legitimacy rested on him being the one to control the King; Mongol demands would remove him from power. Peace on the terms the Mongols wanted could not be accepted as long as the Ch’oes wanted to remain in control. For two years the Koreans made excuses on not sending the King, Ch’oe U trying to find some room to maneuver. Finally, a ploy was decided on: a distant relation of the King was made up to be the Crown Prince, and thus Wang Sun was sent to Karakorum in 1241. The Mongols found out about the deception…. Some 14 years later. By then, he was a loyal member of the Mongol court and even married a daughter of Great Khan Mongke.   With the royal hostage sent in 1241 and resumption of tribute, Ch’oe U achieved a six year truce. The Mongols still wanted the royal court to return to the mainland though, and their envoys grew ever more insistent on the matter. Ch’oe U spent the next six years preparing defenses, building elaborate fortifications on Kanghwa Island and readying militia units.  Buddhist projects were consecrated to secure heavenly favours; the most famous was the recarving of the Tripitaka, the Buddhist scriptures, begun in 1237. Often called the Tripitaka Koreana, this was a massive project, over 80,000 wooden printing blocks carved, requiring thousands of scholars and 12 years to complete.   Guyuk was elected as Great Khan in 1246, and decided the Koreans had stalled long enough on returning the court to the mainland.  In Autumn 1247 an army under the general Amukhan and Hong Pogwon invaded. Official orders were sent for the countryside to be abandoned for coastal islands and mountain fortresses; guerilla attacks were launched; the northern half of the peninsula was desolated. The death of Guyuk in summer 1248 and Ch’oe U in winter 1249 brought a relative calm. Ch’oe U was succeeded by his son, Ch’oe Hang, who proved not the equal of his father or grandfather. More arrogant and hasty than his father, he struggled to maneuver the complicated politics of Koryo and Mongol attacks. Within a few months there was an attempted coup against him, and his reaction alienated major allies, at a time when they couldn’t afford to lose a single one.   In 1251 Mongke was confirmed as Great Khan; driven by the need to complete the conquests, the continued independence of Koryo was not something he could abide. Again, envoys demanded the Korean King visit the Mongol court and abandon Kanghwa island. Again, excuses were made.  King Kojong was too old and sickly for such a trip, but they could discuss the possibility of considering sending the Crown Prince. At the same time, the Koreans prepared for the expected invasion. At the quriltai in 1252 wherein Kublai was ordered against Dali and Hulegu against the Caliph in Baghdad, forces were organized to attack Korea. Prince Yeku invaded in August 1253 alongside Amukhan and Hong Pogwon. Envoys preceded him stating he was there to find out if King Kojong was as sick as he said he was. He had six days to comply and meet Mongol representatives on the mainland. Kojong actually met with Mongol envoys on the straits across from Kanghwa island, and achieved precisely nothing. Mongol forces rode and burned across the peninsula, inland settlements were abandoned for coastal and mountain defenses. Pyolch’o raids attacked Mongol parties, and Mongols destroyed the cities which fell to them. Yeku was held up and fell ill during the long siege of Ch’ungju, ably defended by Kim Yunhu, the same Buddhist Monk who had killed Sartaq some 20 years prior. Ultimately, Mongke recalled Yeku before the end of the year due to his feuding with another prince. Amukhan and Hong Pogwon continued the campaign for a few more weeks, organizing a brief effort at amphibious warfare: seven captured Korean ships landed troops on Kal Island in early 1254, to no great result. Amukhan pulled the troops back in spring, returning in August with reinforcements under Jalayirtai Qorchi.   Jalayirtai brought a variation on the Mongol demands for submission. Now ministers and people had to shave their heads in the Mongol style: leaving only a tuft on the forehead between the eyes, and over the ears to be braided into loops. He also demanded Ch’oe Hang and King Kojong come to the mainland. Predictably, Ch’oe Hang was unwilling to do so. Early in summer 1255 Jalayitrai and Amukhan fell back to the northern border; by then, aside from years of destruction and abandonment of farmland, the peninsula was also in the midst of an ongoing drought. We are told in the first year of Jalayirtai’s command in Korea an estimated 206,8000 persons were taken captive. The suffering was horrific. Jalayirtai’s forces attacked again in autumn 1255, beginning a ship building program. Frustrated with continued resistance from the Korean court, the Mongols were considering assaulting the well defended Kanghwa Island. A sense of Jalayirtai’s frustration is evident in his response to Korean envoys in mid-1256. The envoys came asking for peace and Mongol withdrawal, to which Jalayirtai, incensed with pyolch’o attacks in the night, snapped “if you desire peace and friendship, then why do you kill our soldiers in great numbers?”   Jalayirtai’s movement of troops back north in autumn 1256 was no respite: in spring 1257, famine gripped even Kanghwa island. As Jalayirtai returned in the spring, it must have been apparent that the Ch’oes were hanging by a thread. Ch’oe Hang soon died, succeeded by his son Ch’oe Ui, who proved a very poor choice. His attempts to win favour by grants of food to the populace and court did not offset bad advisers enriching themselves and his own poor decisions. Alienating just about everyone in the court, the pressure of the situation finally led to a coup. Officers led by Kim Injun assaulted Ch’oe’s palace in May 1258. Ch’oe Ui tried to escape over the walls, but was too fat to get himself over. Caught by the assassins, Ch’oe Ui’s death ended six decades of Ch’oe military rule in Korea. Gaining the support of the elderly Kojong and handing out the wealth of the Ch’oe’s, Kim Injun made himself the new military governor. However, his position was much weaker than the Ch’oe’s had been, and still refused to submit to the Mongols. Mongol envoys who arrived in summer 1258 brought threats that they would storm Kanghwa Island, and in August Jalayirtai received further reinforcements under the command of Yesuder. Refusal to supply either the Crown Prince or the King was met with unchecked destruction across the Korean peninsula. If the Royal court would not come to then, then the Mongols would impose direct rule.  No matter how bloody the pyolch’o attacks were, they could not stop the Mongols.   Resistance broke in 1259. Revolts against military rule began across the country, towns and cities surrendered on the arrival of the Mongols rather than continue fighting. With food supplies exhausted, their military forces ground nearly to dust, in the spring of 1259 a peace deal was reached. The Crown Prince, Wang Chon, was to travel to the Mongol court as a royal hostage, the court move back to the mainland, and the defences of Kanghwa be demolished. Kim Injun was not removed but his power was considerably lesser to that of the Ch’oes. Organized Koryo resistance to the Mongol Empire was over. In May 1259, Prince Wang Chon set out for the imperial court, which met a hiccup when Mongke died in August 1259. Wang Chon decided to head for the court of Mongke’s younger brother in China, Kublai. There, he became the first foreign ruler to officially recognize Kublai as the next Great Khan of the Empire. In turn, Kublai provided Wang Chon an armed escort to return to Korea and be installed as the new king, as the venerable Kojong had died in July 1259. Kojong had reigned through the entire Mongol-Korean war, and it was fitting he died only weeks after it ended.   Wang Chon, known better by his temple name, Wonjong, proved a loyal vassal to Kublai Khan, marrying his son and eventual successor to one of Kublai’s daughters. Military rule in Korea ended in 1270 after a series of assassinations, and the Korean court finally returned to the mainland. With that, Koryo was a fully incorporated client kingdom. The King ruled in earnest, though with Mongol backing; when briefly ousted by a coup, Kublai’s forces came in and reinstalled him. Yet Mongol demands upon Korea did not grow any less burdensome; rather,. Wonjong had to mobilize the Koreans for another war, this time fighting alongside the Mongols. Koreans ships, food supplies and men were needed by Kublai Khan against the island of Japan, which had spurned his demands for submission. Korea was to be a launchpad for the first Mongol Invasion of Japan of 1274.

Im Jahr 1958 wurden die ersten inländischen Flugrouten eingerichtet: Pjöngjang – Hamhung (nicht Hamburg)Pjöngjang – ChongjinIn den fünfziger Jahren wurden auch Internationale Verbindungen z.B mit Iljuschin Il-62M oder dann Tupolew Tu-154 bedient. Darunter bis in die 1990er-Jahre einmal wöchentlich die Strecken:Pjöngjang – BerlinPjöngjang – MoskauPjöngjang – Moskau – SofiaIm Jahre 1975 stellte die Gesellschaft mit einer Tupolew Tu-154 ihr erstes Strahlflugzeug in Dienst. In Deutschland wurde der Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld auch nach Ende des regelmäßigen wöchentlichen Anflugs noch bis zur Jahrtausendwende gelegentlich von Air Koryo angeflogen, meist zur Beförderung von Hilfsgütern oder Diplomaten.Seit März 2006 kann Air Koryo nicht mehr in die Europäische Union einfliegen, da sie auf der Liste der Betriebsuntersagungen für den Luftraum der Europäischen Union stehen. Im April 2001 hatte bereits die französische Luftaufsichtsbehörde DGAC die Verwendung französischen Luftraums untersagt.Abonniere uns, damit du keine Folge verpasst!Vereinbare noch heute Deine kostenlose Beratung.https://FTCircle.as.me/Verbinden Sie sich mit anderen Vielfliegern in unserer Facebook-Gruppe (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vielfliegerstammtisch/) & folgen Sie uns auf Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/FTCircle/).

Springtime First Impressions continue! Horsey air kiss! Digressions: 1:15 - "Fargo", the 2014 TV series 3:42 - "Turn: Washington's Spies" 6:44 - "Borderlands 3" news! Hype hype hype!   Some Korean terms: 다모: [da-mo] female investigator in ancient Korea; literally "tea lady". One theory of the title's etymology is that these investigators may have been recruited from tea rooms in Koryo dynasty as spies.  해치: [hae-chi] also known as "haetae" (해태); an East Asian mythological animal that was said to be able to look into one's heart and know of evil doings. For a minor infraction, it would butt you with its horns, but for an unforgivable sin, it would eat you whole.   9:40 - "He is Psychometric" (사이코메트리 그녀석) is a TVN drama starring Park JinYoung (from GOT7), Shin YeEun and Kim Kwon. We were hoping for crime solving, not high school drama shenanigans. Some of the characters were strangely callous about the fact that they were dealing with murder victims. The police officers continue to be predictably terrible at their jobs. 24:44 - "Radiant" (눈이 부시게) is a relatable drama from JTBC. It stars Kim HyeJa, Han JiMin and Nam JooHyuk. Han JiMin plays a sadsack character who has realized that she won't be able to achieve her dream of becoming an announcer, but is too afraid to abandon it. Nam JooHyuk is so much better at playing a down-to-earth character (see: Joonhyung from "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) than a standoffish jerk (see: Habaek from "Bride of the Water God"). 38:10 - "Haechi" (해치) is a historical drama based around the succession struggles of King Yeongjo, who ruled Joseon from 1724 to 1776. This SBS drama stars Jung IlWoo, Go ARa, Kwon Yul and Park Hoon, who portray an unlikely group of people who will fight corruption and help Prince YeonIng ascend the throne. As with any historical drama based on actual people, Judy fell into a Wikipedia hole. Next week, we're talking about "The Item" (아이템), "Go Go Waikiki" (으라차차 와이키키) season 2, and "The Fiery Priest" (열혈사제)!    Audio credits: Jeff Russo – “Fargo” (2014) – “Main Theme” Joy Williams, Matt Berninger and Charlie Peacock –“ Turn: Washington’s Spies” – “Hush” GRiZ (ft.

On le croyait perdu et sans retour possible, et pourtant le voilà, l’épisode 57 de Playtime. Enregistrée en mai 2018, j’y reçois Emmanuel Beltrando, qui présente son parcours, ses activités dans diverses entités et les titres alors en développement chez SWAF (Sorry We Are French). L’enregistrement datant un peu, vous vous rendrez compte de l’évolution de certaines choses. Ainsi, le prototype Dream Hunter est sorti récemment sous le nom de Greenville 1989 avec un beau succès à Cannes 2019 (et un carnet d’auteur sur Tric Trac), et Immortal 8, annoncé en prévision à 36 euros, en coûte 10 de moins, alors que l’extension Moon pour Ganymede est prévue pour cette année. Je tiens à m’excuser auprès d’Emmanuel et de SWAF pour le retard de cette publication, en espérant que le fond reste aussi intéressant à écouter qu’à l’époque. Un grand merci à lui pour sa participation ! Comme la dernière fois, le podcast n’est pas mort, mais n’espérez pas une émission régulière. N’hésitez d’ailleurs pas à me communiquer des acteurs ludiques que vous voudriez entendre et que vous n’avez pas vu ailleurs ! Vous pouvez retrouver Playtime sur kulturkonfitur.fr, iTunes, mais aussi sur Twitter (@Playtime_J2S) et Facebook (Playtime - Podcast). N'hésitez pas à nous suivre pour être au courant des dernières publications. Crédits générique : Iron Maiden – Can I Play With Madness / Pink Floyd – See Emily Play / Rammstein – Spiel mit mir

Although an enigma to many, there are some with unique insight into life within North Korea’s closed society. One of them is James Church, a former Western intelligence officer who’s written a series of Inspector O mystery novels based on his experience and interactions inside North Korea.In this episode of the Stratfor Podcast, Church sits down with Chief Security Officer Fred Burton to discuss his unique perspective on North Korea and what his main character, Inspector O, would make of developments unfolding on the Korean peninsula today.Read our latest analysis on this topic and more at Stratfor Worldview.

Introduced to Korea during the first millenia, Buddhism has a long history on the Peninsula and remains until today a major influence on the Korean society. This is nothing, however, compared to the clout it enjoyed as state religion during the Koryo period, from the 10th until the end of the 14th century. What caused the downfall of Buddhism in Korea? A popular argument is that Buddhism had become so powerful and corrupt that the state needed to suppress it. Professor Juhn Ahn opposes this Confucian critique and we had the pleasure of interviewing him on the matter. After an overview of the current narrative, he told us about the societal shifts of the late Koryo dynasty, the problematic integration of newcomers into the Korean elite and how these factors led to the fall of Buddhism’s popularity. Professor Juhn Ahn is Assistant Professor of Buddhist and Korean Studies at the University of Michigan. In addition to various articles on East Asian Buddhism, he also has a forthcoming book on the subject: Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in Fourteenth-Century Korea. Professor Ahn received his PhD in Buddhist Studies from the University of California, Berkeley.

Hi guys! Judy is currently on vacation in Korea, so we had to record this ahead of time. This means that we won't be able to discuss the final four episodes of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds until end of October. Instead, we watched the first episodes of various K-Dramas, like Scarlet Heart:Ryeo, Reply 1988, Tomorrow Cantabile, I Remember You (aka Hello Monster), Descendants of the Sun and Doctors.  Korean terms: 바둑: [ba-dook] Korean chess. 애교살: [ae-gyo-sal] bags under eyes, thought to make a person look young and cute? Different from dark circles. 광화문: [gwang-hwa-moon] the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace. 느끼해: [neu-ki-he] cheesy; corny. 무뚝뚝해: [moo-took-took-he] gruff. 동생: [dong-seng] younger sibling.  고려: [go-ryeo] aka Koryo dynasty (918-1392AD) before the Chosun dynasty.  거지: [guh-ji] homeless person.  꽃미남: [kot-mi-nam] man who is so handsome as to be compared to a flower.    To send us questions, suggestions or comments, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us!

"We hope this museum can work as a platform for folk religion as well as an experience zone for Korea's traditional culture," the Eunpyeong-gu Office said in a statement. Since last year, Eunpyeong-gu has been putting effort into developing the area into a national tourism asset.

While Europe experienced the Middle Ages and waged war in the Crusades, the Korean peninsula was ruled by the Koryo dynasty, which lasted from 918 to 1392 AD. This era is remembered for the unification of the previous three Korean kingdoms, its pottery, Buddhist wood carvings and movable type technology; yet there is comparatively little popular knowledge about the period’s political system and society. To learn more about the Koryo dynasty, we had the privilege of meeting with Professor Remco Breuker who discussed with us some of its characteristics and especially its pluralistic nature. Professor Breuker is Professor of Korean Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands. He obtained his PhD from the same university and pursued graduate studies there as well as at Seoul National University. He has published on Korean history in various academic journals, translated numerous modern and historic texts from Korean, and is the author of Establishing a Pluralist Society in Medieval Korea - History, Ideology, and Identity in the Koryŏ Dynasty, which was published in 2010

Była sobie kiedyś całkiem fajna gra pod tytułem Koryo. Wydawca pomyślał, że skoro raz się udało, to nie ma przeciwwskazań, żeby na tej samej mechanice spróbować zrobić coś troszeczkę innego, ale wyraźnie podobnego. W ten sposób narodziło się Choson, czyli sequel wspomnianej wcześniej gry rodem z Korei. Jak się wszystko udało? Zapraszamy do posłuchania. Przy […]

Koreańczycy już raz próbowali zawojować polski rynek za pomocą gry Toc Toc Woodman. Czy się udało – to trzeba by zapytać sklepów, my tymczasem zajmujemy się Koryo, które już samym tytułem promuje ojczyznę Parka Jae-sanga. Praktyka bezlitośnie pokazała, że nie o każdej grze da się sensownie mówić przez dłuższy czas, dlatego dzisiaj nagranie nieco krótsze […]
