KEC Special Lecture Series 2023 - Sailing or drifting? The Korean wave, self and fandoms

The Korean Wave consistently piques the interest of media outlets. Especially in the German context, it is still perceived as a new trend. Sceptic voices remain most visible and question reasons for its success. Most popular view is the soft-power perspective, painting Korean cultural industry and its artists as embedded in foreign policy processes. Other views characterize Hallyu as a passing-trend, a short-lived anomaly. Lastly, success is sometimes attributed to consumerism, stating that K-pop and other Korean cultural contents are designed to appeal to everyone and especially the inexperienced youth. In short, Korean cultural content and their consumers are eyed with both wonder and distrust. Beyond popular media discourse, academic discussion on how to understand the Korean Wave and its impact on a changing media landscape has emerged. However, until now, the German case was largely sidelined in discussions. Focusing on K-pop, the special lecture series “Sailing or drifting? The Korean wave, self and fandoms” addresses this gap by providing an opportunity to discuss the impact of the Korean Wave on youth. Are individuals simply swept up by the wave or consciously riding it? Moving beyond arguments of maturity of consumers and/or manipulation by media, the series highlights the artistic dimension of internationally popular Korean music and dances.

[Buchpräsentation] Die Dritte Reflexion - Lehren der deutschen Wiedervereinigung für Korea

Das Korea-Europe Center und das koreanische Kulturzentrum Berlin begrüßen Prof. Dr. Woo-ik Yu, ehemaliger Wiedervereinigungsminister der Republik Korea und Honorarprofessor an der Seoul National University. Im Rahmen des Human Security and Development Forums präsentiert er am 18. Oktober 2022 von 17 bis 19 Uhr (CEST) sein Buch am Institut für Koreastudien an der Freien Universität Berlin. Zusammenfassung: Was kann Korea aus den Erfahrungen der deutschen Wiedervereinigung lernen? Dieser Frage geht der Verfasser in seinen Reflexionen nach. Basierend auf einem einjährigen Forschungsaufenthalt in Berlin, zahlreichen Interviews, Reisen und Beobachtungen im geeinten Deutschland vermitteln seine Studien positive Einsichten wie auch bedrückende Perspektiven der deutschen Situation nach 30 Jahren Wiedervereinigung. Diese Erfahrungen werden sodann vor dem Hintergrund der geteilten koreanischen Halbinsel reflektiert. Die dortige Situation ist grundlegend anders: historisch, politisch, geostrategisch! Die intimen Kenntnisse des Wissenschaftlers und Politikers, besonders die des früheren Wiedervereinigungsministers, vermitteln tiefe Einblicke in die Komplexität der koreanischen Situation. Den vielfältigen Friedensinitiativen Südkoreas steht die starre Diktatur der Familiendynastie Kim in Nordkorea unversöhnlich gegenüber. China, Russland, Japan und die USA nutzen z. T. zynisch die tiefen Differenzen zwischen Atommacht und Armenhaus Nordkorea und dem reichen Süden für ihre eigenen geopolitischen Interessen. Droht das Pulverfass Korea zu explodieren? Konkrete Lösungsvorschläge für eine friedliche Wiedervereinigung Koreas beschließen den Text.

2022 Korea Global Forum for Peace The Impact of the War in Ukraine on Inter-Korean Cooperation and Security Systems in the Korean Peninsula (Session 8-3)

The geopolitical restructuring triggered by the Ukraine War has created a shockwave that has unsettled not only inter-Korean cooperation but also the overall security of the Korean Peninsula. Ukraine's Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR), which was originally considered to be a successful denuclearization program, was viewed as an unreasonable alternative. The reason for this is because Ukraine succeeded in denuclearization but it failed to guarantee security. As Russia became the target of economic sanctions, the effectiveness of economic sanctions on North Korea decreased. While the economic sanctions imposed on North Korea did not lead to denuclearization, they did succeed in isolating the North Korean economy and limiting its actions. However, as the target of economic sanctions expanded, the restrictions were weakened. The weakening of the Helsinki process, along with Finland's accession to NATO membership, also undermined the structure of the Six-Party Talks, which were created to ensure security for the Korean Peninsula. It is time to consider the situation and acknowledge that the security system is being dismantled.  Panel Members and Topics:  Moderator: Prof. Lee Eun Jeung (Dean of Department of History and Culture, Freie Universitaet Berlin)  Presenter #1: Prof. August Pradetto (Professor of International Relations, em., Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg / University of the Armed Forces, German)  Topic:  Impact all the way to the Korean Peninsula Presenter #2: Prof. Brendan Howe (Dean and Professor, Graduate School of International Studies, Ewha Womans University) Topic:  Impact of the Invasion of Ukraine for Korean Geopolynomic Positioning Presenter #3: Dr. Kang Hojye (Research Professor, Institut für Koreastudien, Freie Universitaet Berlin) Topic:  The Alternative way for Denuclearization of North Korea Discussant: Dr. Tereza Novotna (Korea-Europe Center Fellow, Free University Berlin) Discussant: Prof. Kim Byoung Joo (Visiting Professor, KDI School of Public Policy and Management)

I have now enjoyed two trips to North Korea. I shared food and stayed in the homes of some of my generous North Korean neighbours. If you ask me what North Korea was like, I will say without hesitation, "I have friends there." I look forward to sharing some of the things I learned and specific changes in my perspective on North Korea between what I felt and believed before and after my trips." - Jae-eyon Chung

KDIS-FUIKS Korea Europe Center Human Security and Development Forum 2022 - The EU and South Korean Strategies for the Free and Open Indo-Pacific

With a growing geopolitical and geo-economic significance of the Indo-Pacific, the European Union (EU) has been shifting its attention to this region. Several EU member states – including Germany and France – have recently published their Indo-Pacific strategies, whereas the EU issued its own policy documents throughout 2021 and the European Parliament has just adopted the Report on the EU and the Security Challenges in the Indo-Pacific. Although South Korea does not have an overarching strategy for this geographical area, it is in fact one of the key Indo-Pacific players and the EU’s most important like-minded partners in the region. To what extent do various strategies complement – or contradict – one another and in what sectors best to implement them? How can Europe collaborate with Seoul in order to maintain the Indo-Pacific which is free, open and rules-based while confronting mutual challenges such as China’s increasing assertiveness? What impact does Russia’s war in Ukraine have on the EU’s relations with the Indo-Pacific countries and what other partners and actors can the EU and South Korea team up with, especially since President Yoon has been recalibrating Seoul’s approach to its Indo-Pacific neighbors? David McAllister, MEP and Chair of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, will give a opening speech and will answer questions to open a hybrid event on the EU and South Korean strategies for the Indo-Pacific. The roundtable discussion will be joined by Dr Antoine Bondaz, Director of the Korea and the Taiwan Programs at the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS) in Paris, Dr Eunjung Lim, Associate Professor at Kongju National University and Dr Tereza Novotná, Korea-Europe Center Fellow at Free University Berlin, Korea Associate at 9DashLine and EUROPEUM Prague.   The roundtable discussion will be chaired by Dr Florian Pölking, Lecturer at the Institute for Korean Studies at Free University Berlin.

FUIKS Special Lecture Series - Reading Korean popular culture

Presenter: Prof. Dr. Hyangjin Lee In the COVID era, audiences have been isolated by border closures and fear of infection has been manifesting in an old form of prejudice—discrimination and xenophobia. But against these odds, Korean dramas have been spreading empathy and a sense of global community. The ongoing popularity of Crash Landing on You , Japan’s most watched Netflix series in 2020, challenges anti-Korean sentiments. Squid Game , Netflix’s most watched show of all time in the first month after its release, undermined Western cultural elitism. Streaming services are competing to secure Korean content for the global market. The genres and themes vary, and the audience is diverse. But what these works have in common are melodramatic social criticism and a strong sense of poetic justice. This lecture will explore the ways in which satires of the social realities of Korea—in the form of “bingeworthy” TV—have resonated with audiences all over the world.

Am 9. März 2022 wurde Yoon Suk Yeol, ehemaliger Generalstaatsanwalt und Kandidat der Oppositionspartei People Power Party, mit einem historisch knappen Ergebnis   zum 20. Präsidenten der Republik Koreas gewählt .  Der Wahlkampf wurde von zahlreichen Skandalen der beiden Hauptkandidaten begleitet und offenbarte die tiefe Spaltung in der südkoreanischen Gesellschaft. Dem designierten Präsidenten stehen nun eine Reihe innen- wie auch außenpolitscher Herausforderungen bevor. Der als unerfahren kritisierte Yoon hat bereits angekündigt, dass er die Indopazifik-Strategie der Biden-Administration aktiver unterstützen und härter als die Moon-Regierung auf Provokationen aus Nordkorea reagieren wird. Doch wie werden sich die Beziehungen Südkoreas zu Deutschland und der EU unter Yoon ausgestalten? Welche Rückschlüsse lassen die eher vagen Aussagen der letzten Woche zu? Wird es eine Vertiefung auch über die vorwiegend durch Handel geprägten Beziehungen geben? Oder stehen für Südkorea zunächst regionale Aspekte Ostasiens im Vordergrund? Die Veranstaltung zielt darauf ab, diese und weitere Fragen näher zu betrachten.

Europe and Asia Fighting COVID-19 Together: Mutual Lessons from the Pandemic Event Description For over a year and a half, the world has been fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. While measures to manage the outbreak have ranged from strict lockdowns and closed borders up to the use of big data and artificial intelligence, on the whole, both North and South East Asia have fared generally better than Europe in terms of the number of cases, hospitalizations and fatalities. Yet now in the second phase when various vaccines have become available, many parts of Asia have been lagging behind Europe in their inoculation rates while new variants threaten to invade the countries where SARS-CoV-2 has virtually been non-existent. How can we explain the stark differences between both regions, Europe and Asia, and what mutual lessons can we learn from one another? What can Europe do to help vaccinate the world, including developing countries and those with restricted humanitarian access? What is the role for organizations, such as the European Commission and COVAX, and what measures can be adopted so that any future pandemic is prevented and its impact mitigated? Two panels of distinguished political scientists, economists, health experts and practitioners will debate mutual experiences in fighting COVID-19 from the European and Asian perspectives.

2021 Summer Special Lecture Series

The Contentious Koreans: Civil Society, Social Movements, and Human Rights Struggles in South Korea South Korea is a country rife with contention. Socio-political struggles that emanate from the people – and that thus do not exclusively take place in ‘traditional’ political arenas like the government or parliaments – are characteristic phenomena of South Korea’s modern history. The summer special lecture series focuses on central concepts like human and civil rights, social movements, and civil society. It will show how these actors and concepts played important roles in Korea after the liberation from Japanese colonial rule from 1945 onwards, as well as before and after democratization in the late 1980s. A general historical and conceptual overview of human rights struggles in South Korea will be complemented by lectures on concrete socio-political issues that have been relevant in modern and present-day Korea: the human rights situation of refugees and migrants, the environmental movement, feminist and LGBTIQ activism, activism against youth unemployment, and non-progressive mobilization in South Korea.

2021 KEC PhD Colloquia - Strategic Dialogue Workshop

Strategic dialogue has been a term used increasingly more frequently, both in private and public sectors. Nevertheless, what does "strategic dialogue" exactly mean? How does it differ from a regular "bilateral" or "multilateral" meeting? Is it a formal or informal discussion? How does it compare and contrast to 1.5 and 2-track discussions? Can academics participate in strategic dialogues, or is it a format limited to practitioners, mostly from the field of politics? Who sets the agenda? How is a strategic dialogue organized in practice? The one-day workshop will examine these and other questions covering the issue of strategic dialogue. The seminar will host speakers who have a rich experience from conducting such strategic dialogues with partners in Asia and, in particular, in both Koreas. The guest speakers will share their expertise and provide hands-on experiences. The seminar will be organized in a hybrid form (partly in person, partly online) and will be held under the Chatham House rule.

10 Years of the EU-Korea Strategic Partnership: What to expect from the Relationship in the next Decade?

Event Description In October 2020, the EU-Korea Strategic Partnership celebrated its tenth anniversary. The relationship has flourished over the last decade, with South Korea becoming the first country to have signed with the EU three bilateral agreements in areas such as free trade, security and crisis management. Yet there are new challenges ahead for both sides – from dealing with Covid19 through climate change up to the global competition between the US and China. How will the EU-ROK Strategic Partnership develop over the next ten years? Can the EU and South Korea strengthen their relationship to become even closer like-minded partners supporting multilateral and free trade institutions across the globe? How does North Korea and relations with China fit within this equation? Two ambassadors, Ahn Chong Ghee, who served as ROK’s ambassador to the EU (2015-16) and Michael Reiterer, who was the head of EU Delegation to the ROK (2017-2020) will look at what we can expect from the EU-South Korea relationship in the next decade. The event will be chaired by Dr. Tereza Novotna, Korea-Europe Center Fellow.
