UNESCO World Heritage Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0, Blossoming K-\ubb38\ud654 with ‘Sarangbang Concert’<\/h2>\n

On May 9th, the ‘Sarangbang Concert’ will kick off at the tranquil Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0 in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do. This \ud589\uc0ac, planned as the first program of the ‘World Heritage Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0 K-\ubb38\ud654 Project,’ adds the character ‘\uc0ac (\u53f2)’ for ‘history’ to the ambiance of ‘Sarangbang,’ a space where Confucian scholars conversed, embodying the meaning of sharing history \uc774\uc57c\uae30 in an old \uc11c\uc6d0. This is an attempt to reinterpret the historical and cultural values of Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0 with a modern sensibility to make it more accessible to the public.<\/p>\n

Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0 is one of the ‘Korean \uc11c\uc6d0’ inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2019, and it is the birthplace of Honam Neo-Confucianism, commemorating Hasa Kim In-hu, the scholar from whom the famous saying, ‘There is no place like Jangseong for scholarship,’ originated. Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0, which preserved its original form without being lost during numerous wars such as the Imjin War and the Manchu Invasion, showcases the essence of Joseon Dynasty architectural beauty and further illuminates its historical value through its \uae30\ub85d heritage, including National Treasure No. 587.<\/p>\n

Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0’s Jipseonggwan and the \uc720\ubb3c Exhibition Hall, which completed three years of restoration work recently, have been reborn as digital exhibition spaces, going beyond simple \uc720\ubb3c exhibitions. Through video and sound, visitors can experience the immersive beauty of the four seasons of \uc11c\uc6d0, and it has been created as an ‘edutainment’ space where visitors can learn history via touchscreens and children can joyfully engage with history in the children’s library, offering a special experience for visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n

History Storyteller Seol Min-seok, Speaking about the \uc120\ube44 Spirit at Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0<\/h2>\n

One of the highlights of this ‘Sarangbang Concert’ is a talk concert led by Lecturer Seol Min-seok, a representative history storyteller of Korea. This lecture, lasting approximately 60 minutes from 3:00 PM to 4:10 PM at Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0’s Cheongjeoldang, will vividly cover the academic achievements and noble integrity of Hasa Kim In-hu, enshrined at Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0, as well as the deep meaning of Joseon Neo-Confucianism and the life of a \uc120\ube44 and student. A 10-minute \uc18c\ud1b5 session with the audience will also be provided after the lecture, offering an opportunity to satisfy their curiosity about history.<\/p>\n

Lecturer Seol Min-seok has been greatly loved for delivering historical knowledge easily and entertainingly to the public through numerous popular broadcast programs such as tvN’s ‘Seol Min-seok’s Naked World History,’ ‘Yozemchaekbang: We Read Books for You,’ MBN’s ‘Greek Roman Mythology,’ and JTBC’s ‘Lecture Battle Show: The Swindlers.’ His excellent storytelling ability will introduce the \uc120\ube44 \ubb38\ud654, which might otherwise feel outdated, more interestingly to modern people, greatly helping them deeply understand the value of Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0.<\/p>\n

The opening musical \uacf5\uc5f0 signaling the start of the talk concert is also an unmissable attraction. In this \uacf5\uc5f0, to be held on the wooden floor of Cheongjeoldang, a quartet of gayageum, haegeum, daegeum, and ajaeng will present a unique arrangement of popular songs into traditional Korean music. Modern music reinterpreted with \uc804\ud1b5 instruments will provide visitors with a special emotional experience where \uc804\ud1b5 and modernity beautifully harmonize, adding to the concert’s dignity.<\/p>\n

The Whole \uac00\uc871 Enjoys \ubb38\ud654 \uccb4\ud5d8, Feeling the Breath of Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0<\/h2>\n

Beyond the lectures, the ‘Sarangbang Concert’ offers visitors the opportunity to directly experience \uc120\ube44 \ubb38\ud654 through various \uccb4\ud5d8 booths. Operating from 2 PM to 5 PM around Pilam \uc11c\uc6d0 in a free-participation format, the \uccb4\ud5d8 booths are diversely arranged for the whole \uac00\uc871 to enjoy. ‘\uc120\ube44 Fan \uac00\ud6c8,’ where participants can capture Hasa Kim In-hu’s verses with a brush pen, and a ‘Yusaengbok Experiential Zone’ for children are prepared to provide special memories for kids.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, visitors can experience \uc804\ud1b5 crafts by making ‘Jangmyeongnu bracelets,’ and immerse themselves in the world of beautiful calligraphy at the ‘\uc120\ube44’s Book – \uc11c\uc608 and \uac00\ud6c8 \uc11c\uc608’ and ‘Hangul Calligraphy’ booths. At the ‘Traditional Games Experiential Zone,’ visitors can enjoy playing games of old ancestors, such as Tuho (arrow throwing), Jegichagi (kicking shuttlecock), and Paengichigi (top spinning). All these \uccb4\ud5d8 are available for participation on a first-come, first-served basis without prior \uc608\uc57d, and will close when materials run out, so it is advisable to visit early.<\/p>\n
