During the period of the Japanese Empire, many cultural artifacts and ancient books were taken from Korea, and Japan has yet to return them to Korea. Unlike the British Museum in the UK, which displays such artifacts, Japan keeps them hidden away in storage, showing them to no one. This secrecy leaves us unaware of how much Korean culture Japan has appropriated and rebranded as its own to present to the world. Even the ceramics, such as tea cups and dishes that Japan popularized in Europe, trace their origins back to Korean ceramic techniques
Japan has yet to apologize for its past wrongdoings against Korea. Their aggression and atrocities are terrible. Japan is still giving distorted history education and claims Korea's Dokdo as its territory. Japanese politicians still pay their respects at temples where war criminals are buried.
Heated floor by pipes underneath floorboards. An invention by necessity, lol G-d be glorified as everyone including Rev Billy Graham has said upon visiting Korea, 'I've never been so cold in all my life !'. Korea is cold in the winter !. @@D__Ujjwal
I lived in Korea for 5 years, and yeah, if I ever had enough money, I would buy some land here where I live in France and have a hanok built (with more modern amenities though, like double panned windows), I freak'n love hanoks, I've stayed in a few of them while I lived in Korea and always loved the experience
double panned windows need to required by law. I wonder how much energy wasted in poor insulation pre-war (pre 1945) house in old cities for heating and cooling translate to $
yeah I would buy a house in Paris too. I think Seoul would be more expensive than Paris these days though. My old town is more expensive than Beverly Hills so I can't go back ROFL
I get that a lot of Asian cities strive for the "tradition mixed with modernity" (imagine "moduuuhnhity " said with an exaggerated British accent) motif as a way to put up a progressive facade, but I really started hating this architectural style when Saudi Arabia put up that atrocious clock tower in Mecca - that just brought it to a whole new unnecessary level of kitsch. Now having a Hanok with contemporary elements is the right way to do it. I just hope Korean cities start building more in their traditional architecture rather than just putting up absurd modern architecture because that's supposed to be high-brow.
There's a long historical background why Korea, with its thousands of years of history, seems to have popped up out of nowhere in the 21st century. Firstly, from ancient times until the Middle Ages, trade and exchange between the West and the East required the use of the Silk Road, which was monopolised by China and China blocked access to Korea. The English name Korea is derived from the Islamic transliteration of the country's name at the time, Goryeo, which was used by Muslim merchants trading by sea with the Korean peninsula around the 12th century. This meant that the West had no access to Korea except by rough sea, except via the Silk Road, which was monopolised by China. Secondly, in 1543 a Portuguese merchant ship bound for China ran aground in Japan, marking the first direct contact between the West and Japan. This gave the Japanese access to muskets, and the introduction of this new weapon technology eventually led to the Imjin War, an invasion of Korea by Japan. It was also around this time that the Lead-silver separation method leaked from the Korean peninsula to Japan, which Japan used this method to become the third largest producer of silver in the world. Its vast silver production allowed Japan to greatly increase its power by trading with the West, which was eager for trade during the Age of Sail. Of course, even during this era, China and Japan blocked direct Western access to the Korean Peninsula. If the 20th century was a period of recovery for South Korea from the devastation of Japanese occupation and the ashes of the Korean War. It wasn't until the 21st century internet age, when people could easily access news and culture from other countries without having to travel by land or sea, that Korea was finally started to step out of the shadows of China and Japan and able to show the world the cultural soil it had been building for thousands of years. So that's why you feel like all the K-things is suddenly coming out these days. Finally, Every time you explore in Korean culture, you will see endless denigration of Korean culture by Chinese and Japanese nationalists who want to push Korea back into the shadows.

Your points are very insightful and perceptive. Korea is a people that created the Hong San Civilization, which predates the Yellow River Civilization by more than a thousand years. Two thousand years ago, Japan was created in the history of Korea, and Japan is just a branch of Korea.
Because they are tv celebrities. Korean architecture has nothing to do with what’s they say. It’s about money and doing things fast and cheap. Can’t believe people take this video seriously. It’s obviously a commercial.
As well as incredibly untrue. It’s like one of those commercials you see for the places to visit. It’s nothing like a real life. They have hand pick few examples and try to sell it as real life. Have been living in Korea for several years ands it’s nothing like they show.
Japan's ancient history has been copied directly from the history of the Korean Peninsula. Todai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan was built by Korean carpenters, and the Horyu-ji Temple was also built by Baekje people. The basic history of Japan was established by Koreans, and the Japanese developed their own with Korean design aesthetics.Without the role of Koreans, Japan would not exist today.
But now it seems with the rise of Korea, Koreans are shaming the Japanese because of the past publicly. Spreading Anti-Japanese hate, so isn’t it the same thing you’re doing?
South Korea has most of what the world aspires to have. With a world-class manufacturing supply chain, such as semiconductors, batteries, biopharmaceutical production, shipbuilding, and defense technology, the future is very bright. South Korea is also a leader in cultural industries such as K-pop and K-dramas. The growing influence of Korean-speaking culture is driving the popularity of the Korean language and the Korean-related job market.
Chinese architecture is grandeur luxury, Japanese is simple Zen, and Korean is harmonization with surroundings. 3 different philosophies and beauties of 3 east Asian countries.
That's not true. The Korean buildings were all copies of Chinese buildings from the Tang and Song dynasties, which were much more minimalistic in style. The palaces of Kyoto and Nara were scale replicas of palaces from the Tang era. The reason you believe there is a difference is those buildings in China were all destroyed or renovated into the later styles of Ming and Qing dynasties. Remember Asian palaces are made mostly of wood, so they need to constantly maintained to last 1000 years. You can search for "Daming Palace" during the Tang dynasty to see how it is similar in style to Korean ones. The palace itself is gone, but main paintings from the era exist showing what it looked like. The other reason the Japanese and Koreans don't have the more decorative architecture of the Chinese from say the Ming dynasty is because they couldn't make them. The craftsmen were from China and during the Ming, they started to be closed off and didn't allow things to be exported. In ancient times, complexity was seen as the highest form of art and craftsmanship. Times have changed and our current tastes have changed to prefer more minimalistic and simple designs, instead of those that expressed wealth and complexity.

Which is also the big reason for the low birth rate. Higher education = lower birth rate correlation. Not other reasons that weird ppl online keep commenting about.
Some beautiful contemporary contextualism in Korean architecture - thanks for showcasing. So great to see the recent flourishing of Asian pride across pop culture, arts and architecture/design. It's particularly meaningful to me as a Hong Kong Chinese architect who grew up in New Zealand. :)

Koreans have played life-or-death identity game against the continent for about 2000 years. Language, alphabet, food, clothing, building, ...full. set. The problem is that here we are suffering population collapse. Politics is deeply divisive. And many people do not realize South Korea has become a major member of the West.
One thing I can say for sure is that almost all megacities around the world are built on 2D planes, but Seoul today is a megacity built on a 3D space. It's a city where ten million people live among hills of various sizes, with more slopes than flat land.
Since ancient times, the civilized countries of East Asia were China and the Korean Peninsula, and the only Asians who could make porcelain, an ancient semiconductor, were the Chinese, Koreans. Since China has been conquered by foreign peoples for over 3,000 years, it is unclear how much of China's history is Chinese, but the Han, Song, and Ming dynasties can be clearly seen as Chinese history. Ancient India, unlike today, had hundreds of kingdoms divided into, but it was definitely a civilized region that spread Buddhism, and Thailand and Cambodia were also centralized civilized countries ruled by kings. Although Japan received advanced civilization from the Korean Peninsula and China, Japan was an isolated island that had not been exposed to continental civilization until the 1400s, and when Portugal and Spain opened their ports, it was able to absorb Western civilization and awaken, and using that power, it invaded the Korean Peninsula, which had been a leading country for generations, and even dreamed of conquering China and India. I think the rapid changes in GDP of S.Korea's the process of countries that had been wealthy civilized countries since ancient times but temporarily became impoverished after experiencing colonies and wars regaining their original positions.

The families that own the chaebols including Samsung, LG, and even Hyundai collaborated with the Imperial government during that time as well. The elite Korean families are also to blame. They turned on their own which is even more abhorrent.
Wonderful video of modern korean architecture. The great narration and content are emmy worthy!. Loved it. Hoping to make Korea our family's next permanent resident country - safety, public transit, education, convenience, tourism and so on makes it definitely a bucket list country to viist and reside in. :)
How wonderful it is to blend tradition, with modern, and nature. American architects and builders such as Frank Lloyd wright, and Joseph Eichler had a similar vision.
Just a modern history you can say it's influenced by western and Japanese but in really old past days like B.C. Korea and China are the only countries to rule everything everywhere and Japan at the time arr really governed by Korea and pots housing clothes everything shipped from Korean peninsula. The scene in your eyes are not built in only a few hundreds years but it's the result from 14000 years of Korean history.
there are some historical inaccuracies in your comment while it’s true that Japan was influenced by Korea and China, especially in the fields of language, Buddhism, and technology during the Asuka and Nara periods (roughly 6th to 8th centuries AD), Japan was never governed by Korea Japanese developed their own governance and maintained a distinct identity, although there was significant cultural exchange. The Jomon and Yayoi pottery traditions in Japan also show local development, even if there was influence from the Korean Peninsula and China, so yeah it’s better to state facts rather than a generalized statement that in substance is inaccurate
Believe it or not APT inherits a lot of essential elements from Hanok. It has 'maru,' the central living room connected with 'teonmaru,' the long corridor leading to rooms while separating a kitchen, and an uninsulated balcony for storing jangs and kimchi in temperatures colder than indoor room temp. 'Ondol' is still there as well. Although APT doesn't go well with the surrounding nature and Koreans themselves also mockingly call it a chicken cell, it was a way for them to shift hanok into a modern-day living while resolving post-war rapid urbanization.
Thank you for sharing meaningful information. Korea is a people that created the Hong San Civilization, which predates the Yellow River Civilization by more than a thousand years. Two thousand years ago, Japan was created in the history of Korea, and Japan is just a branch of Korea. As a major creator of East Asian civilization, Korea will continue to create more and share it with world.
Excellent entertaining and motivating video. Actually as a Korean, I'm sometimes surprised by the influence of K-culture on SNS. It wasn't like this when I was in 10's, but the world seems to have changed
Korean architecture still has a long way to go... Rather than architects with their own philosophies, the market is dominated by merchants who try to make things cheap and sell them expensively. That's why hundreds of identical concrete apartments have been built in Seoul. Seoul has the beautiful Han River but is unable to utilize it.
We are still finding our own ways to improve since our land was nothing in 1950s because of the Korean war and we only focused on economic growths... We didn't have enough time to think and define about architects that represent ourselves other than the Hanok. But as our economy got rapidly develops, now we have enough time to think about architecture and we are now changing since the late 2010s.
All very impressive. S. Korea is awesome! 😍 But can’t help but think they have focussed a little too much on “exporting culture” and forgotten to make a _enough_ Koreans to not have a plummeting population. 📉 All the fancy architecture/design is just *accelerating house price increases* and making life unaffordable for young Koreans so they cannot _afford_ to have children. 😢 Do a video on how the population will collapse this century and showcase the people who are trying to fix the problem. 💭
cuz its'not possible to just criticize korea nowdays, give a subtle compliment and address the issues that trolls always trip over~~😆 It's true that Korea is a country that lacks the resources to be self-sufficient, so it has to export to make a living, but the atmosphere these days is that we should not struggle to export before we start struggling. how do we get people from overseas to show interest and come visit us? We, Koreans, will ultimately solve Korea's problems. We are that kind of people. hope you solve your problems.
Highly informative,I expected to see you feature a pivotal structure at the seaside of soul, that building has inspired me a lot, it's built into of a local Korean village roof with stones and Butimen

Their building codes in this case lack of it is double edge sword. It lends itself to the beauty in details and simultaneously endangers people. A few years ago I visited a a newly opened cafe with a roof top terrace in which the perimeter rail leaving infants and toddlers exposed to crawling under the rails and the possibility of falling off the roof. I just couldn’t relax and let my guard down as I was there with my toddler.
@@RachelAdam-h1h KPOP is not only about idols so there are quite many genres in there😅.. But i would say Korean musics in general indeed play a role in our culture but also the foods and many other things just like any other countries.

Isn’t it great how internet-doco’s tend to say the same thing over and over again? In the old days, doco narration would say something only once, but that isn’t a problem anymore. Thanks to innovative technology (chatGPT) cheeply produced internet docos can create content filled with lots of banal ways of saying the same thing over and again (but with slight variation, so that’s ok). Because when you spend 3 mins saying exactly the same thing over and over again (with lots of stock footage overlaid) it really gets the message across, while the subject might possibly be interesting, we are going to explore every other possibility available. Maybe we might stumble into ‘interesting’… but probably not.

There is no architectural renaissance in Korea, what there is is a preference for Western aesthetics within its culture. There is no traditional culture. All the elements of contemporary architecture that I use come from exchanges between Western professionals. What is actually happening is "Western Hellenism" an expansion and globalization of Western aesthetics to various parts of Korea and the like.
Honestly, I am living in Seoul, the last architact really amazed me, that is in my opinion what is truly the Korean heritage, the first two just sounds somehow less impressive, since you can find similar elements with better design in Japan and China.
I know like buildings light and heat show movent. Human have white DNA phosphorus that lights us up and light waves movent travel even sitting down. Great Work KOREANS 😋😊😀😁☺️🙂🤗😇🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's really pretty but I think Korean architecture wouldn't work in Western countries. To put this in baby terms, I feel like like it all looks like 'Samsung' design? Modern but a bit different. On the other side, 'Apple and iphone' design embraces western design values: Modernism, Bauhaus, Helvetica. Which is what is popular since decades in the West.

Many congrats to Teo Yang on redefining and achieving Korean context in new gestures of furniture,spaces, and many more genres.
Some beautiful contemporary contextualism in Korean architecture - thanks for showcasing. So great to see the recent flourishing of Asian pride across pop culture, arts and architecture/design. It's particularly meaningful to me as a Hong Kong Chinese architect who grew up in New Zealand. :)

In the East Asia, Korea is the only one which has alphabets which can be keyed in to a typewriter. This tells a lot.

한국의 훌륭한 문화력이 과거엔 물리적 제한으로 전파가 어려웠지만 지금은 인터넷을 통해 널리 전파되어 세계인이 한국문화 진가를 알게된거라 생각함

그건 표면적인 이유로 보이구요 서구권에선 항상 동아시아 문화에 관심이 있는데 그 중심엔 중국 문화가 있고 포커스가 이루어진 시기가 19세기말 20세기 초, 최근엔 버블기의 일본이었구요 지금은 정체된 일본을 대신한 한국이 그 자리를 차지하고 있는거죠. 중국이 지금과 다르게 서구 중심의 글로벌 경제에 퇴출되지 않고 편입되었다면 지금쯤 전 세계에서 한류대신 차이나 웨이브를 볼 수 있었을 겁니다.
Koreans have played life-or-death identity game against the continent for about 2000 years. Language, alphabet, food, clothing, building, ...full. set. The problem is that here we are suffering population collapse. Politics is deeply divisive. And many people do not realize South Korea has become a major member of the West.
I love how there's angry chinese and Japenese people commenting negative stuff about Korea rather than learning or at least Improving from it.
One thing I can say for sure is that almost all megacities around the world are built on 2D planes, but Seoul today is a megacity built on a 3D space. It's a city where ten million people live among hills of various sizes, with more slopes than flat land.
Since ancient times, the civilized countries of East Asia were China and the Korean Peninsula, and the only Asians who could make porcelain, an ancient semiconductor, were the Chinese, Koreans. Since China has been conquered by foreign peoples for over 3,000 years, it is unclear how much of China's history is Chinese, but the Han, Song, and Ming dynasties can be clearly seen as Chinese history. Ancient India, unlike today, had hundreds of kingdoms divided into, but it was definitely a civilized region that spread Buddhism, and Thailand and Cambodia were also centralized civilized countries ruled by kings. Although Japan received advanced civilization from the Korean Peninsula and China, Japan was an isolated island that had not been exposed to continental civilization until the 1400s, and when Portugal and Spain opened their ports, it was able to absorb Western civilization and awaken, and using that power, it invaded the Korean Peninsula, which had been a leading country for generations, and even dreamed of conquering China and India. I think the rapid changes in GDP of S.Korea's the process of countries that had been wealthy civilized countries since ancient times but temporarily became impoverished after experiencing colonies and wars regaining their original positions.

Japan has yet to apologize for its past wrongdoings against Korea. Their aggression and atrocities are terrible. Japan is still giving distorted history education and claims Korea's Dokdo as its territory. Japanese politicians still pay their respects at temples where war criminals are buried.
The families that own the chaebols including Samsung, LG, and even Hyundai collaborated with the Imperial government during that time as well. The elite Korean families are also to blame. They turned on their own which is even more abhorrent.
@@paranoidhumanoid Yeah but that dosen't hide the fact that the japenese gouvernment should actually apologize.

Just a modern history you can say it's influenced by western and Japanese but in really old past days like B.C. Korea and China are the only countries to rule everything everywhere and Japan at the time arr really governed by Korea and pots housing clothes everything shipped from Korean peninsula. The scene in your eyes are not built in only a few hundreds years but it's the result from 14000 years of Korean history.
I agree with everything else, but I think you mistyped the 1 in front of 14000.
there are some historical inaccuracies in your comment while it’s true that Japan was influenced by Korea and China, especially in the fields of language, Buddhism, and technology during the Asuka and Nara periods (roughly 6th to 8th centuries AD), Japan was never governed by Korea Japanese developed their own governance and maintained a distinct identity, although there was significant cultural exchange. The Jomon and Yayoi pottery traditions in Japan also show local development, even if there was influence from the Korean Peninsula and China, so yeah it’s better to state facts rather than a generalized statement that in substance is inaccurate
Incorrect

Hanok is nice. Oddly high population density makes 70% of Koreans live in "ah-part" buildings. 😂
I think more multi story townhouses are needed
Believe it or not APT inherits a lot of essential elements from Hanok. It has 'maru,' the central living room connected with 'teonmaru,' the long corridor leading to rooms while separating a kitchen, and an uninsulated balcony for storing jangs and kimchi in temperatures colder than indoor room temp. 'Ondol' is still there as well. Although APT doesn't go well with the surrounding nature and Koreans themselves also mockingly call it a chicken cell, it was a way for them to shift hanok into a modern-day living while resolving post-war rapid urbanization.
The youth can't afford downpayment for an apartment, but they are exporting architecture. Fascinating contrast

Thank you for sharing meaningful information. Korea is a people that created the Hong San Civilization, which predates the Yellow River Civilization by more than a thousand years. Two thousand years ago, Japan was created in the history of Korea, and Japan is just a branch of Korea. As a major creator of East Asian civilization, Korea will continue to create more and share it with world.
이건 좀 웃겼다
Ah Finally … Korean got themselves something big 👌🏻
Excellent entertaining and motivating video. Actually as a Korean, I'm sometimes surprised by the influence of K-culture on SNS. It wasn't like this when I was in 10's, but the world seems to have changed
Korean architecture still has a long way to go...
Rather than architects with their own philosophies, the market is dominated by merchants who try to make things cheap and sell them expensively.
That's why hundreds of identical concrete apartments have been built in Seoul.
Seoul has the beautiful Han River but is unable to utilize it.
That's an accurate point. I agree. However, as the economy develops, this is now rapidly improving.
We are still finding our own ways to improve since our land was nothing in 1950s because of the Korean war and we only focused on economic growths... We didn't have enough time to think and define about architects that represent ourselves other than the Hanok. But as our economy got rapidly develops, now we have enough time to think about architecture and we are now changing since the late 2010s.
Bloomberg is doing itself a disservice. What Korean architecture and where can one sight it in Seoul as it's thin on the ground.

But can’t help but think they have focussed a little too much on “exporting culture” and forgotten to make a _enough_ Koreans to not have a plummeting population. 📉
All the fancy architecture/design is just *accelerating house price increases* and making life unaffordable for young Koreans so they cannot _afford_ to have children. 😢
Do a video on how the population will collapse this century and showcase the people who are trying to fix the problem. 💭
cuz its'not possible to just criticize korea nowdays, give a subtle compliment and address the issues that trolls always trip over~~😆 It's true that Korea is a country that lacks the resources to be self-sufficient, so it has to export to make a living, but the atmosphere these days is that we should not struggle to export before we start struggling. how do we get people from overseas to show interest and come visit us? We, Koreans, will ultimately solve Korea's problems. We are that kind of people. hope you solve your problems.

Their building codes in this case lack of it is double edge sword. It lends itself to the beauty in details and simultaneously endangers people.

I just couldn’t relax and let my guard down as I was there with my toddler.

Isn’t it great how internet-doco’s tend to say the same thing over and over again?
In the old days, doco narration would say something only once, but that isn’t a problem anymore.
Thanks to innovative technology (chatGPT) cheeply produced internet docos can create content filled with lots of banal ways of saying the same thing over and again (but with slight variation, so that’s ok).
Because when you spend 3 mins saying exactly the same thing over and over again (with lots of stock footage overlaid) it really gets the message across, while the subject might possibly be interesting, we are going to explore every other possibility available. Maybe we might stumble into ‘interesting’… but probably not.

The land of receptivity and inclusiveness as well as rhythm, cheerfulness, tranquility, creativity, harmony and union which is the essence of the Oneness. The mystery has been unfolded as all has been waiting (as promised).
There is no architectural renaissance in Korea, what there is is a preference for Western aesthetics within its culture. There is no traditional culture. All the elements of contemporary architecture that I use come from exchanges between Western professionals. What is actually happening is "Western Hellenism" an expansion and globalization of Western aesthetics to various parts of Korea and the like.
Haan bhai 4RA pe khelte waqt kabhi bhi bore nahi hote sab mil ke itna enjoy karte hain
Honestly, I am living in Seoul, the last architact really amazed me, that is in my opinion what is truly the Korean heritage, the first two just sounds somehow less impressive, since you can find similar elements with better design in Japan and China.

It's really pretty but I think Korean architecture wouldn't work in Western countries. To put this in baby terms, I feel like like it all looks like 'Samsung' design? Modern but a bit different. On the other side, 'Apple and iphone' design embraces western design values: Modernism, Bauhaus, Helvetica. Which is what is popular since decades in the West.
