[Movie Review] Steel Rain 2: Selfish Americans to blame[Kukak newspaper= Washington Correspondent Michael Lambrau] Selfish Americans are to blame. This was the thought that rattled through my mind as I reflected on the recently released movie "Steel Rain 2: Summit.” The film dominated the South Korean box office in its opening weekend. Variety reported, "Steel Rain 2,” released by Lotte Entertainment, earned $4.92 million from 663,000 admissions in its opening weekend. In over just five days, the movie accumulated $7.03 million from 1.02 million in ticket sales.” "Steel Rain 2,” like the first film "Steel Rain” (2017), begins with a coup by a hardline North Korean military faction. Only this time, instead of an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-un, the hardline faction, led by a fanatical North Korean General, kidnaps the U.S. President, South Korean President, and North Korean Supreme Leader during summit talks in North Korea and drags them to a North Korean submarine. The North Korean General, enraged over the summit talks, is at the center of an international conspiracy (in collaboration with Japan and China), to prevent a united Korea Peninsula and once again bring war to the region. Obstacles of Perception As an American watching the film I found myself stunned by the portrayal of the US President. In one of the defining scenes of the film the three leaders have a decision to make. In their escape from the submarine they must decide who will take the rescue boat (designed for one person) to safety. Without hesitation or discussion, the US President grabs hold of the ladder and announces he will take the rescue boat to safety. The South Korean President then scrambles to find another solution. He resourcefully removes the large seat (designed for one) in the rescue boat, making room for two passengers. With room for two in the rescue boat, the three leaders still have a difficult decision to make: Who will risk their life and stay behind on the submarine? Again, the U.S. President quickly grabs hold of the ladder and starts to climb, telling the North Korean and South Korean leaders to work it out between the two of them. Watching this I cringed at the portrayal of the American President as self-serving, callous, and painfully unaware. Is this how the South Korean public perceives the US President? Is this how they perceive all Americans? The scene continued, culminating with the South Korean President staying behind, sacrificing himself, so the US President and North Korean Supreme Leader could survive and prevent nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula. The film’s portrayal of the US president had me asking me even asking my fellow South Korean moviegoers their view, to which they responded with an immediate, "Of course that is the US. A natural portrayal of the US.” This depiction, although fictional, comes from a general perception of America that has possible real-world consequences. From the summit talks between the three nations, to US-South Korea cost-sharing negotiations, the US-South Korea alliance, although stronger than ever, must continually work on these obstacles of perception as well as more tangible obstacles. Where will the next summit take place? President Trump’s recent comments in the news, that "he will make deals with North Korea very quickly” if he wins re-election, signals the very real possibility of another summit after the US Presidential election. The film continued to tackle actual obstacles in North Korea-South Korea-US summitry with its vivid portrayal of a worst-case security scenario. An appropriate concern by security experts in all three nations is the physical location of any future summit. Until now the summits have only taken place at neutral locations: Panmunjom, Singapore, and Hanoi. Would the FBI and US Secret Service even approve a visit to Kaesong in North Korea? Would North Korean security approve a visit to Washington D.C. or Mar-a-logo? With a possible future summit on the horizon what would the security conditions entail to ensure the safety and security of all parties? Collective Efforts "Steel Rain 2” delivers in production quality, entertainment, and substance. In contrast to "Steel Rain” (2107), this installment approaches the Korean Peninsula from an international context. The film highlights South Korea’s role as merely a mediator for peace negotiations between the US and North Korea and all the constraints, parties, and frustrations of maintaining and improving the status quo on the Korean Peninsula. Director Yang reminds the audience of the ongoing struggle to maintain stability and peace in the region as tensions and frustrations mount between the US, China, Russia, Japan, North Korea, and South Korea. He reminds the audience that the hard-fought peace must be continuously fought for, and if possible, improved by all parties in a collective effort. The construction of a peace regime, talks, summits, or negotiations must always be a collective effort that take us all one step towards stability and away from disaster.

Traditional Arts.- Gugak. Folk Dance, Pottery, HandicraftsTraditional Art Performance of Yeomillak ("Joy of the People”), court music composed during the reign of King Sejong in the 15th century. GugakThe term gugak, which literally means "national music,” refers to traditional Korean music and other related art forms including songs, dances and ceremonial movements. The history of music in Korea should be as long as Korean history itself, but it was only in the early 15th century, during the reign of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), that Korean music became a subject of serious study and was developed into a system, resulting in the creation of the oldest mensural notation system, called jeongganbo, in Asia. King Sejong’s efforts to reform the court music led not only to the creation of Korea’s own notation system but also to the composition of a special ritual music to be performed during the Royal Ancestral Rite at the Jongmyo Shrine—inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2001—and Yeomillak, or "Joy of the People.” The term gugak was first used by the Jangagwon, a government agency of late Joseon responsible for music, to distinguish traditional Korean music from foreign music.Traditional Korean music is typically classified into several types: the "legitimate music” (called jeongak or jeongga) enjoyed by the royalty and aristocracy of Joseon; folk music including pansori, sanjo and japga; jeongjae (court music and dance) performed for the King at celebratory state events; music and dance connected with shamanic and Buddhist traditions such as salpuri, seungmu, and beompae; and poetic songs beloved of the literati elite such as gagok and sijo. Of the numerous folk songs, Arirang—inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2012—is particularly cherished by the common people as there are many variations with special lyrics and melodies devised to touch their hearts.The Korean people have also developed a wide range of musical instruments. These traditional musical instruments are generally divided into three categories: wind instruments such as the piri, daegeum, danso and taepyeongso; stringed instruments such as the gayageum, geomungo, haegeum, ajaeng and bipa; and percussion instruments such as the buk, janggu, pyeonjong, pyeongyeong, kkwaenggwari and jing. Buchaechum (Fan Dance). A traditional form of Korean dance usually performed by groups of female dancers holding fans with floral designs on them. Folk DanceKorean people have inherited a great variety of folk dances such as salpurichum (spiritual purification dance), gutchum (shamanic ritual dance), taepyeongmu (dance of peace), hallyangchum (idler’s dance), buchaechum (fan dance), geommu (sword dance), and seungmu (monk’s dance). Of these, talchum (mask dance) and pungmul nori (play with musical instruments) are known for their satirical targeting of the corrupt aristocracy of Joseon and their close connection with rural communities, which had long been the bedrock of Korean culture and tradition. Most performances are presented in a marketplace or on the fields and involve drumming, dancing, and singing. Ssireum (Korean Wrestling) by Kim Hong-do (1745-1806). This genre painting by Kim Hong-do, one of the greatest painters of the late Joseon Period, vividly captures a scene of traditional Korean wrestling where two competing wrestlers are surrounded by engrossed spectators. Pottery Kiln Site in Gangjin, Jeollanam-do. The remains of ancient kilns can be seen in Gangjin, which was one of the main producers of celadon wares during the Goryeo period. Korean pottery, which nowadays attracts the highest praise from international collectors, is typically divided into three groups: Cheongja (blue-green celadon), Buncheong (slip-coated stoneware), and Baekja (white porcelain). Celadon refers to Korean stoneware which underwent major development in the hands of Goryeo potters some 700 to 1,000 years ago. Celadon pottery is marked by an attractive jade blue surface and the unique Korean inlay technique used to decorate it. Gangjin of Jeollanam-do and Buan of Jeollabuk-do were its two main producers during the Goryeo Period (918-1392). White porcelain ware represents the ceramic art of the Joseon Period (1392-1910). While some of these porcelain wares display a milky white surface, many are decorated with a great variety of designs painted in oxidized iron, copper, or the priceless cobalt blue pigment imported from Persia via China. The Royal Court of Joseon ran its own kilns in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, producing products of the very highest quality. The advanced techniques used in the production of white porcelain wares were introduced to Japan by Joseon potters kidnapped during the Imjin Waeran (Japanese Invasion of Korea, 1592-1598). (Clockwise from left top) Celadon Melon-shaped Bottle (Goryeo, 12th century); Celadon Jar with Peony Design (Goryeo, 12th century); White Porcelain Bottle with String Design in Underglaze Iron (Joseon, 16th century); Buncheong Bottle with Lotus and Vine Design (Joseon, 15th century) (Source: National Museum of Korea) The third main group of Korean pottery, Buncheong, was made by Goryeo potters after the fall of their Kingdom in 1392. This type of pottery is characterized by its slip-coated surface and delightfully simple decorative designs created using several different techniques. Two-tier Chest. This exquisite wooden chest used for storing clothes is lavishly decorated with a motherof-pearl inlay design. (The National Folk Museum of Korea) HandicraftsIn the past Korean craftsmen and women developed a wide range of techniques to produce the items they needed at home. They made pieces of wooden furniture such as wardrobes, cabinets and tables marked by a keen eye for balance and symmetry, and wove beautiful baskets, boxes and mats with bamboo, wisteria or lespedeza. They used Korean mulberry paper to make masks, dolls and ceremonial ornaments, and decorated diverse household objects with black and red lacquer harvested from nature. Later they developed the art of using beautifully dyed oxhorn strips, and iridescent mother-of-pearl and abalone shell to decorate furniture. Embroidery, decorative knot making (maedeup) and natural dyeing were also important elements of traditional Korean arts and crafts, which were widely exploited to make attractive garments, household objects and personal fashion ornaments.

ArirangArirang Arirang is the name of a folk song sung by Korean people since olden times. There are many variations of the song, although the lyrics of their refrains have the words "arirang” or "arari” in common. The song was sung for many different purposes such as to reduce feelings of boredom during work, confess one’s true feelings to one’s beloved, pray to the divine being for a happy and peaceful life, and to entertain people gathered together for a celebration. One element that has helped Arirang remain in the hearts of Korean people for so many years is its form, which is designed to allow any singer to easily add their own words to express their feelings. The importance of Arirang in the daily life of the Korean people is succinctly described in an essay, Korean Vocal Music, written in 1896 by Homer B. Hulbert (1863-1949), an American missionary and ardent supporter of Korean independence:"The first and most conspicuous of this class is that popular ditty of seven hundred and eighty-two verses, more or less, which goes under the euphonious title of A-ri-rang. To the average Korean this one song holds the same place in music that rice does in his food?all else is mere appendage. You hear it everywhere and at all times.The verses which are sung in connection with this chorus range through the whole field of legend, folklore, lullabies, drinking songs, domestic life, travel and love. To the Korean they are lyric, didactic and epic all rolled into one. They are at once Mother Goose and Byron, Uncle Remus and Wordsworth.”

Italian's illustrations mark 70th anniversary of Korean War's outbreak/ Holo arirangItalian's illustrations mark 70th anniversary of Korean War's outbreak Jun 24, 2020 By Honorary Reporter Lagdani Safae from Italy Illustration= Lagdani Safae Italy's Medical SupportItaly sent 128 combat medics to the Korean War. In 1951, an Italian medical support unit was sent to help treat and revive the injured, operating at the 68th Red Cross Hospital. It treated 7,041 patients before its mission ended in 1955. Members treated the injured by increasing the number of beds from 120 to 200, and remained in Korea for a year after the armistice was signed in July 1953. In recognition of the unit's dedicated service, the Korean government awarded the Geumseong Order of Military Merit and the Silver Medal in August 1954 to the unit's head and the head nurse. In December of the same year, the unit received a presidential citation. Holo Arirang The 2003 Korean song "Holo Arirang," based on the classic folk song "Arirang," mentions landmarks such as Baekdusan Mountain in present-day North Korea, Arirang Hill in Gangwon-do Province, Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island and Dokdo Island in the East Sea. This drawing shows these landmarks as symbols of hope for peace on the Korean Peninsula. Pine Tree of Hope This illustration symbolizes the hope of Korean families separated by the Korean War to reunite in the near future under a reunified Korea. When I watched videos of these families, I felt joy when seeing those fortunate enough to reunite with their lost relatives. The tree at the center of this illustration is the one planted by President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in 2018 as a symbol of peace and prosperity on the inter-Korean border. The tree signifies the breaking down of the Cold War and the opening of a new era of peace between the two Koreas. Soil from the mountains Hallasan and Baekdusan were mixed and sprinkled on top was water from the Hangang and Daedonggang rivers. chaey0726@korea.kr*This article is written by a Korea.net Honorary Reporter.

[Monthly KOREA] Loving Korea More than Koreans[Monthly KOREA] Loving Korea More than Koreans Jul 16, 2020 Monthly KOREA’s Oct 2019 issue. ▶ Link to Webzine Homer Bezaleel Hulbert In the preface to his book The Passing of Korea published in 1906, Homer Bezaleel Hulbert wrote,"For aid in the compilation of this book, my thanks are mainly due to a host of kindly Koreansfrom every class in society, from the silk-clad yangban (ruling class) to the fettered criminal in prison,from the men who go up the mountains to monasteries to those who go down to the sea in ships.”These words indicated his deep love for Korea and his understanding and appreciation of Korean diversity.The American missionary, journalist and activist was a genuine Koreanwhom freedom fighter Ahn Jung-geun said all Korean patriots should know about. Written by Jeon Han / Illustrated by Manus Eugene / Photo courtesy of Yonhap News One who should not be forgotten by Koreans even for a single day.” This is what freedom fighter Ahn Jung-geun, who was imprisoned in 1909 at Lushun Prison in China after assassinating Hirobumi Ito, the first Japanese resident-general of Korea, said in responding to a question from a Japanese police officer about Homer Bezaleel Hulbert (1863-1949).Hulbert was the first foreigner to receive a public funeral in Korea in 1949 and earn the Order of Merit for National Foundation, which was awarded to him posthumously the following year. Reflecting on his legacy and the traces he left behind, it is no wonder why many independence fighters revered the American and why he was dubbed the "person who loved Korea more than Koreans.” Learning About Korea and Hangeul Hulbert began his relationship with Korea as a teacher at the Royal English School in 1886. Learning the Korean language and Hangeul immediately after arriving in Joseon for missionary work and education, he provided support from 1890 for the compilation of A Concise Dictionary of the Korean Language along with British American pastor and educator Horace Grant Underwood (1859-1916) and Canadian missionary and educator James Scarth Gale (1863-1937).Hulbert’s affection for Korea grew through learning the Korean language, and he expressed his fondness for the country through his books and theses. Having published a world geography book in Korean in 1891, he publicized the excellence of Hangeul in his paper "The Korean Alphabet,” which was published in the first issue of The Korean Repository, the first English-language monthly magazine in Korea, in January 1892. He also submitted an article explaining how Hangeul was invented in the magazine’s March issue of the same year, and another on idu, a writing system that represented the Korean language through the sounds and translations of Chinese characters, in the February 1898 issue.Returning to the U.S. in 1891 and coming back to Korea with his family in 1893, Hulbert devoted himself to writing about Korea in general including its culture, society and history and about missionary work through numerous documents. He took over Sammun Publishing Co. in 1893 and resumed the suspended publication of The Korean Repository. Aside from publishing English-language magazines and books on missionary work, Hulbert was the de facto editor in providing relevant knowledge and printing equipment when Seo Jae-pil (1864-1951) began publishing the daily The Independent in April 1896. Arirang was carried into Western music by Dr. Homer Hulbert. Dr. Hulbert published the score for "Munkyung Saejae Arirang” in Korea’s first-ever English newsletter, "The Korean Repository.” This photo shows a copy of the interview with Dr. Homer Hulbert, the foreign policy adviser of Emperor Gojong, who announced that Emperor Gojong had not signed the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 and that the Royal Seal had been stolen. The interview announcing this injustice was published in the "New York Herald” on July 22, 1907. Secret Envoy of Korean Empire Hulbert used to guard the bedroom of Emperor Gojong nightly along with Underwood after the Eulmi Incident, which saw Miura Goro, the Japanese minister to Korea, take the lead in assassinating Empress Myeongseong on Oct. 8, 1895. Armed with a pistol, Hulbert escorted Gojong at the time of the Chunsaengmun Incident, in which the emperor, who was under constant threat, tried in vain to go to the American legation in Korea with the help of pro-Americans on Nov. 27, 1895.As Japan began acting on its ambition to colonize the Korean Peninsula, Hulbert in 1905 pleaded with Gojong to take action. Eventually, the emperor gave the American a confidential letter underscoring the Korea-U.S. friendship, clarifying Japan’s acts of aggression and the corresponding injustice, and asking for America’s help. Hulbert tried everything but ultimately failed to deliver the letter to U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919).After the conclusion of the Eulsa Treaty, which forcibly deprived Korea of its diplomatic sovereignty in November 1905, Hulbert denounced the agreement by stating, "The U.S. handed Korea to Japan.”Failing to deliver Gojong’s letter and seeing how imperial Japan distorted news about Joseon, Hulbert concentrated on publicizing Korea by publishing in 1906 The Passing of Korea, which covered many aspects of the country including its geography and background, race, political system, history, industry, culture, arts, social systems, modernization and future.When the International Peace Conference opened in The Hague in 1907, Hulbert was dispatched as the emperor’s secret envoy to publicize Japan’s atrocities and greed to the representatives of each country. The ceremony for the 69th anniversary of Dr. Homer Hulbert’s death was held at the Yanghwajin Foreign Missionary Cemetery in Mapo-gu, Seoul on August 10. Independence patriot Lim Woo-chul bows his head in a silent tribute after his floral offering. Unprecedented Honors for Non-Korean Hulbert continued his activities for Joseon, and this ultimately prevented his return to the peninsula because of Japan. He lashed out at U.S. policy toward Korea in his contribution "American Policy in the Case of Korea and Belgium” in the March 5 edition of The New York Times in 1916, and exposed Japan’s cruelty in Korea through his statement titled "What About Korea” to the U.S. Senate in August 1919 after the March First Independence Movement on March 1 of the same year.Attending the so-called Korean Freedom Congress in Washington in 1942, Hulbert testified that Japan forcibly colonized Joseon, saying, "Emperor Gojong had always been bullied but never gave up the country.”Hulbert’s activities for Korean independence continued until national liberation in 1945. At age 86, he came back to Korea on July 29, 1949, under the invitation of President Syngman Rhee. Before passing away on Aug. 5, 1949, only a week after returning to Korea, Hulbert left a will reading, "I would rather be buried in Korea than in Westminster Abbey.” He was laid to rest at the Yanhwajin Foreign Missionary Cemetery after his public funeral.Hulbert’s son William, in a contribution sent in 1973 to commemorate the Korean-language publication of his father’s book, conveyed his dad’s everlasting love for Korea, stating, "My father never gave up hope that even after 40 years, Korea would be liberated from Japan and would be a free and independent country after World War II,” adding, "(In seeing the peninsula’s division), I am certain that my father’s hope for a unified Korea would overcome such adversities as this and that he believed that they would build a glorious and dazzling future.” (http://www.korea.net)

The belly button Hanbok, the world's most exciting.AI Staff July 15, 2020 Girl group BLACKPINK unveiled its new song "How You Like That" on NBC's "Jimmy Fallon Show.” The modernized Korean traditional dress, Hanbok, caught the eyes of viewers. The music video with BLACKPINK wearing the Hanbok garnered 170 million views. Girl group BLACKPINK (left) and member Jenny (right) who took the stage wearingHanboks made by Dan-ha. I met Dan-ha (30), the representative of Dan-ha, who achieved her dream of "Helping people around the world see her uniquely designed Hanbok." - Were you originally majoring in Hanbok? "My major was originally the Chinese language. I worked as an office worker at a casino in Jeju Island. I traveled abroad with my high school friend. Every time I went on a trip, I wore Hanbok. I like colorful patterns and I wanted to take some fun photos. My friend who is with me, Lim Woo-jung, vice president of Danha, often said, "If we have time later, let's open a brand that makes Hanbok ourselves." She continued, "I always bought and wore Hanbok, but I thought about making it myself. So I came to Seoul every weekend from 2015 and learned how to make traditional Hanbok from my master teacher at the Royal Clothing Research Institute. I once went on a trip to Paris wearing my waistcoat Hanbok. There were lots of foreigners who were interested. I've been asked many times, "What's this clothing?" "Where did you buy it?" I thought it would be marketable to sell Hanbok in Paris. Back then, there were many brands selling Hanbok. But it wasn't the design I wanted. I didn't like the fabric either. I decided to learn how to make Hanbok properly and make my own brand." - Tell us how Dan-ha was started?"I worked for a company and started an online Hanbok rental business in 2016. I did both but at some point my business income was higher than my company's salary. So I left the company and ran a Hanbok shop in Busan.””I ran a Hanbok shop and learned how to make Hanbok at the Boksik Institute. Then, I thought I want to study the theory of traditional dress. So, I went to the Graduate School of Clothing at Sungkyunkwan University in 2018. As I came to Seoul, I cleaned up the Hanbok shop. And in August, we started the Dan-ha brand and the online business. At first, I sold it by myself through Instagram. We sold 20 in the first two months. At that time, I was so amazed and proud of it. "I gradually increased the number of customers, raised funding, and grew the company.” - Tell us about Dan-ha Hanbok."The typical product is a waist skirt with patterns of royal bojagi, which recently achieved 8,000 percent of the target amount through Tumblbuck crowdfunding. The Royal Tombstone is a relic on display at the National Palace Museum. I patented the design of this cloth pattern. Dan-ha also seeks Upcycling products. Upcycling refers to the rebirth of recycled products by adding design or utilization to them. We have a lot of clothes made from yarn extracted from plastic plastic bottles." -BlackPink is the talk of the town wearing Dan-ha Hanbok."I got a call saying that they want to use Dan-ha Hanbok in a performance. We had to customize it, so it wasn't sponsored, but the stylist bought the product herself. The members Jenny and Rose wore our product. Rose's cropped top is an idea from the chest cuffs women wore in their underwear during the Joseon Dynasty, and she also has a pattern of royal cloth. The clothes that look like a black scroll are "Chullik,” a military uniform of the Joseon Dynasty. It's for men, but it's attached to a skirt, so it's often worn as a dress in everyday Hanbok. Jenny's pink jeogori was originally a long-length coat that covers her hips. She cut it in half and wore the top part like a jeogori and the bottom part like a skirt." - What is the price of this outfit?"The waist skirt costs around 200,000 won ($180.00 USD). About 450 waist skirts were sold in June. We sold it through our website. Sometimes we get pre-orders and sell it through the funding site. Tumblbug funding sales alone exceeded 400 million won ($332,000 USD) this year." -What's the difference between other modern Hanboks and Danha?"These days, Hanbok looks like Hanbok, but fabrics, patterns, and sewing methods are often Western style. In fact, it doesn't take much time and costs less. We pursue traditional sewing methods. For example, in traditional Hanbok, the part that cuts well, such as armpits and sleeves, is called a boulder, so you add another layer of cloth. These days, Hanboks skip this part a lot. But if you take out these details, it doesn't feel like traditional Hanbok. Also, we don't use fabric from the market. We pick patterns from royal relics or traditional patterns and design them ourselves." - Is there a goal ahead for you?"We are preparing collaboration to put the paintings of Minhwa artists in Hanbok. Also, I want to break the stereotype that Hanbok is only worn on special days. Many people say, "What kind of Hanbok is this?" I want people to think of Hanbok as a free and modern fashion. I think that the tradition of Hanbok can continue only when more people wear it through change. Until now, I only vaguely thought, "I wish people around the world would see my Hanbok." But I'm glad that BLACKPINK's outfits helped us let the world know about Hanbok."

Digital restoration of structures of Hwangnyongsa Temple, the largest temple of the Silla Dynasty문화재청 국립문화재연구소(소장 지병목)와 경주시는 신라왕경 핵심유적 복원·정비 사업의 하나로 지금은 터로만 남아있는 황룡사의 일부를 증강현실 디지털 기술로 복원하였다. 실물이 존재하지 않는 문화재를 디지털로 구현한 사례(돈의문 디지털복원, 2019.8)는 있었지만, 이번처럼 건물을 구성하는 부재를 하나하나 만들어 세부사항을 자세히 표현하고, 내부까지 들어가 볼 수 있도록 실제 건축물 크기로, 정확한 위치에서 체험할 수 있도록 증강현실로 복원한 것은 황룡사가 최초의 사례다. 황룡사는 553년(신라 진흥왕 14년) 창건을 시작한 이후 오랜 시간 변화를 거듭하여 신라 최대의 사찰이 되었으나 1238년(고려 고종 25년) 몽골 침입으로 소실되어 현재는 ‘경주 황룡사지(사적 제6호)’라는 이름으로 터만 남았다. 9층의 목탑은 645년(신라 선덕여왕 14년)에 건립되었다. 이번에 디지털복원을 마친 부분은 황룡사가 가장 크고 화려했을 것으로 생각되는 통일신라 시기의 황룡사 중문과 남회랑이다. 황룡사의 가람배치는 크게 남문을 시작으로 북쪽으로 중문, 목탑, 금당, 강당이 자리하고 있는데 중문 양쪽에 남회랑이 이어져있다. 복원한 중문의 크기는 가로 26.4m, 세로 12.6m이고 남회랑의 길이는 중문을 포함하여 272.5m이다. 이번 중문과 남회랑의 디지털 복원은 2018년 3월부터 8월까지 1차로 완성한 제작물을 2019년 8월부터 2020년 7월까지 보완하여 완성한 것이다. 황룡사 중문과 남회랑의 디지털 복원은 국립문화재연구소에서 2012년부터 진행하고 있는 황룡사 복원 심화연구의 결과를 담은 것으로, 중문은 2층 규모의 우진각 지붕 형태와 1층 규모의 맞배지붕 형태 두 가지 모습으로 구현하였고, 남회랑도 중문에 맞춰 2가지 형태로 만들었다. * 우진각: 건물의 네 면에 모두 지붕이 있는 형태 * 맞배지붕: 책을 엎어놓은 지붕 형태 과거의 일반적인 기존 디지털 복원물은 복원 건축물 앞에 사람이 있어도 건축물 뒤로 보이는 등 원근감이 무시되었지만, 이번 복원은 체험자와 건축물의 거리를 계산하여 원근감을 최대한 살렸기 때문에 더 현실감 있다. 실감나는 증강현실 복원을 위해 시간에 따른 그림자를 계산하고 재질을 다양화하여 건물의 안과 밖을 넘나들며 체험하는 것처럼 실제감을 최대한 살려 황룡사를 실제로 거니는 것 같은 생생함을 느낄 수 있다.또한, 기존에 많이 사용하는 위성위치확인시스템(GPS)기술을 적용하지 않고 마커인식과 카메라 위치추적 기능을 활용하여 건물이 정확한 자리에 서 있을 수 있도록 위치정합성도 확보하였다. 경주시와 협의하여 추후 황룡사지를 방문하는 관람객들은 황룡사지 현장에서 대여하는 태블릿피시를 이용하여 중문과 남회랑에 직접 들어가는 증강현실 프로그램을 직접 체험할 수 있도록 할 예정이며, 황룡사지에서 출토된 유물을 활용한 보물찾기, 발굴유적 관람, 4계절 배경 적용, 건물 확대보기, 황룡사를 배경으로 한 사진촬영과 전자우편 전송서비스, 건축과정의 애니메이션 영상, 건축부재 설명도 다양하게 즐길 수 있게 할 것이다. 이번에 이루어진 ‘황룡사 중문 및 남회랑’의 디지털 복원은 지금은 사라지고 없는 건축유적을 실물복원과 마찬가지로 유적현장에서 직접 볼 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 것으로, 고대 건축유적의 실물복원에 대한 새로운 개념을 제시하고 있다. 이러한 문화유산의 디지털 복원은 4차 산업혁명 시대를 맞이하여 건축유적 복원의 새로운 방법으로서 문화유산의 가치 회복과 국민의 체험기회를 확대하는 데 이바지할 것이다. 문화재청 국립문화재연구소는 2024년까지 황룡사 금당을, 추후에는 강당과 목탑도 디지털로 복원할 계획이며, 앞으로도 다양한 문화재 디지털 복원·활용 사업의 새로운 유형을 꾸준히 개발해나갈 계획이다. Digital restoration of structures of Hwangnyongsa Temple, the largest temple of the Silla Dynasty- Digital restoration of the Middle Gate and Roofed Corridor by NRICH- Korea's first ever life-size digital restoration of a historic site The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage (NRICH/Director-General JI Byongmok) of the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) has accomplished the novel feat of digitally restoring certain structures of Hwangnyongsa Temple using AR technology. Although there have been a few cases of digital restoration of a vanished cultural heritage object, such as Doneuimun Gate in Seoul (August 2019), this is the first time that an extant cultural heritage has been digitally restored in a way that portrays every life-size detail of the structures concerned and their interiors in their original locations.Hwangnyongsa Temple was the largest temple of the Silla dynasty and was renovated on numerous occasions after its foundation in 553 (the 14th year of the reign of King Jinheung). All of the original temple buildings were destroyed by fire during the Mongol invasion of 1238 (the 25th year of the reign of King Gojong of the Goryeo dynasty). At present, only its site (Historic Site No. 6) remains in Gyeongju. A splendid nine-tiered wooden pagoda is also known to have been built at the site in 645 (the 14th year of the reign of Queen Seondeok of the Silla dynasty). The parts of the temple that were digitally restored on this occasion are the Middle Gate and the Southern Roofed Corridor. They were built during the Unified Silla Period, when the temple is thought to have been in its pinnacle. As regards the overall layout of the temple, the Middle Gate, flanked by the Southern Roofed Corridor, was located to the north of the South Gate, as were the wooden pagoda, main hall, and lecture hall. The Middle Gate, which has been digitally restored, measures 26.4 meters in width by 12.6 meters in length, while the Southern Roofed Corridor (which includes the Middle Gate) is 272.5 meters long. The current digital restoration (carried out between August 2019 and July 2020) is the result of an effort to improve upon a previous attempt made in March 2018 after six months of work. The new digital restoration is also the outcome of in-depth research on the temple started by NRICH in 2012. It displays the Middle Gate in two versions, i.e. a two-tiered structure with a hipped roof, and a one-tiered one with a gable roof (shaped thus "八" when viewed from the side). It also displays two versions of the Southern Roofed Corridor to complement the two versions of the Middle Gate. Unlike past digital restorations, this project makes the viewer feel as if the structures have come alive thanks to the use of the technique of perspective based on a calculation of the distance between viewer and object. Looking at the work, you will feel as if you are actually in the temple. This effect was achieved by considering the difference in the lengths of shadows at different times of day with the help of AR technology. In addition, positional consistency was secured by using marker cognition and a camera location tracking function without using GPS technology, which is often used in this kind of project. We plan to offer visitors to the temple a first-hand experience of the AR program for entering the Middle Gate and the South Roofed Corridor, using a tablet PC provided on site, with the cooperation of the City of Gyeongju. The following programs will also be offered to visitors to make their trip even more interesting: treasure hunt for relics unearthed from the site; views of historic relics unearthed from the site; blown-up images of the structures; opportunities to take photos of themselves against the backdrop of the temple; email transmission; animated images of the temple construction process; explanations of the elements used in the construction of the structures, etc. This latest digital restoration is expected to shed new light on the work involved in making life-size restorations of vanished cultural relics, as a part of the effort to give people a realistic impression of being present at the sites of such relics.This kind of digital restoration work will contribute towards restoring the value of cultural heritage sites and to allowing more people who are interested to enjoy a hands-on experience of the digitally restored heritages. We at the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage of the Cultural Heritage Administration plan to expand the work of digital restoration to the vanished main hall by 2024 and lecture hall and wooden pagoda later on, and to continue developing new ideas concerning the digital restoration of many other long-lost cultural heritages. <황룡사 중층 우진각 중문 증강현실 복원안>
