Experiences of Jeju’s folk culture: ManggeonForeign viewers of the Netflix original series Kingdom describe it as “a story about zombies and hats.” The fascination with the gat, or traditional men’s headgear, is manifesting in tangible ways: for example, Amazon, the world’s largest online shopping mall, is selling replicas of “Kingdom Hats” and “Joseon Dynasty Traditional Hats.” In the Joseon dynasty, various versions of the gat began to be worn to indicate the wearer’s social class and occupation. The craft of the manggeon, a band worn over the forehead to keep the gat from slipping, is currently practiced and being passed down by the women of Jeju Island. The following are four places on Jeju that are perfect to visit dressed in a beautiful hanbok and, of course, a gat!Recommendation 0 Review 0NEW
There is no fixed limitation in history <Dark Tourism>You may have heard of the saying, “there is no fixed limitation in history.” It means that we shouldn’t think of history as a time that has simply passed or as the past. Around 70 years ago, there was an incident called Jeju April 3rd uprising. Though there was a time when The Jeju April 3rd Uprising itself was taboo, many people remember what happened in Jeju during this time, and are putting effort into finding the truth. Perhaps, isn’t one of the reasons that the honor of the The Jeju April 3rd Uprising victims is being restored is that we are bearing fruit little by little because we haven’t forgotten the past? The topic that will be introduced in this volume is “dark tourism.” Dark tourism has a slightly different purpose from recreation and tourism. It’s about visiting a site that contains historical pain to see, hear, and learn from what happened at the time. Let’s carefully dive in to take a look into Jeju’s history. Reference.
