Indeed. To be sure, this is true for the popularization/promulgation of the well-known *Gyeonggi Arirang* many of us are familiar with and presented in a few versions in the above video by Dr. Suk. However, note that the Jeongseon Arirang (one of the three regional arirangs in the Dongbu Minyo tradition) has historically been traced back hundreds of years, the Jeongseon Arirang Culture Foundation asserting that it likely predates all other 아라리/Arari folk songs by hundreds of years, with an origin likely from around the birth of the Joseon Dynasty.
Adoption! It is estimated 200.000 children has been sent for transnational adoption since 1950s, but not from the adoptees' perspective but from the Korean society and the mothers and sometimes fathers who gave their children up for adoption.
@@susanvinzentsjensen Yes, this is a very important topic. I agree. My first ever podcast episode was on this topic, with Dr. Lee Kyungeun. It's probably time I revisited it. I've also had some adoptees reach out to me since. Episode 33 was with Kim Yung Hee, a woman looking for her Korean family. I hope to do more in the future. Thank you for being part of the conversation.
We were very lucky to have decided, for some reason, and without prior discussion, to set up a camera in front of Jihoon for that recording. It then so happened that I could easily pick it up and move around for the art and music. The record player itself was fantastic because it doesn't require a plug, battery, or electricity. It just works. Genius.
Actually, chillies pre-dates reb peppers according to recent DNA studies of chillies of Korea. Chillies were grown from Manchuria and which gradually spread to Korea. So in the old dates, Kimchis were basically fermented veggies of all kinds including chives and many more veggies that they've used. Nappa Baechu i.e. cabbage was introduce to Korea much later but before this we just had white kimchi (no red peppers)
Here is a 소리꾼 from Jeju Island doing a "story" version of Beombeok Taryang. th-cam.com/video/orKWQBoI4bQ/w-d-xo.html It is so interesting to hear how history is curated. I have to wonder about the Andong mask dances, then. What were the circumstances that allowed them just to be vulgar?
Thank you for sharing that video of Beombeok Taryang. Very cool. And what a lovely voice the grandmother has. The next guest is Jocelyn Clark and she talks a lot about traditional Korean music and culture so I hope you enjoy that one, too. Maybe Jihoon or Jocelyn can help answer your question and the mask dances...
It’s fascinating that arirang is just about as old (or new) as Over the Rainbow! I really enjoyed it.

It's strange how my comments disappear sometimes. I'm halfway through, but listening to Jihoon is always fascinating!
TH-cam is censoring you.
I loved every second of that. Bring him back for a film discussion as soon as possible!
What a rich and fascinating discussion! Thank you!
What other aspects of Korean history should we cover in the future?

Thank you for showing us the pictures and lyrics while listening to the song. I’m not too sure if I have ever seen a mechanical record player used.

Sorry to say but the study on chillies DNA is bogus. A clear nationionalist bias, even in sentences phrasing.
