ArtsㅡCulture [Publisher Damwha Column] K- Folk Painting: A future asse…

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young K-Folk Painting (Minwha) is not merely an old painting. It is a living art imbued with the hopes, lives, humor, and wisdom of Koreans, and today it has become a vital pillar of K-culture spreading globally. Recently, K- Folk Painting has formed a massive cultural ecosystem domestically, with a population of over 200,000 artists, enthusiasts, and students. This goes beyond simple painting, connecting to education, publishing, merchandise, and tourism industries, becoming a foundation for creating boundless added value. The response overseas is particularly astonishin

South Korea [Publisher Damwha Column] The path toward a fair Republic…

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young This year marks the 80th anniversary of liberation, a deeply meaningful occasion. Over the past eight decades, the Republic of Korea overcame poverty through industrialization and transcended authoritarianism through democratization. These two pillars have been recorded as the ‘century of the nation’ and the ‘century of the people’. Yet today, we stand before a new question: “What should the Republic of Korea strive for in the future?” The national vision set forth by the Lee Jae-myung administration is clear: “A nation where the people are the masters, the Republic

South Korea [Publisher Damwha Column] “Visa-free entry for Chinese to…

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young The central government and some local governments are expanding visa-free entry for Chinese tourists and even offering subsidies funded by taxes to attract more Chinese tourists. While citing the recovery of the tourism industry post-COVID-19 as justification, this amounts to nothing more than reckless gambling using local finances as collateral. China has long been central to Korea's tourism market, and visa-free expansion could temporarily inject vitality into aviation, lodging, and food services. However, increased tourist numbers do not automatically translate i

NGOs [Shin Hyang-sik Column] A glass of water before making love…

UNJournal Jon Lee | “Honey, I'm thirsty.” Once upon a time, this might have sounded like sweet words. But at certain moments, these words can be a warning signal from the heart. While making love, our bodies move similarly to when we engage in intense physical activity. The heart beats faster than usual, body temperature rises, and fluids are rapidly lost through breathing and sweating. Medically speaking, metabolic rate during sexual activity is reported to be 2–3 times higher than usual. The American Heart Association (AHA) and Mayo Clinic have repeatedly warned that dehydration increases th

UNJournal Jon Lee | Regardless of time and place, it has been the desire of all people to live a long and healthy life without illness. However, while health issues are a concern for everyone, no one knows the perfect way to manage them, making it a black box of sorts. Over the 100,000 years of human evolution, efforts to maintain and preserve physical health have repeatedly been thwarted by various diseases and aging. In the West, through thousands of years of medical development centered on anatomy and physiology, recent efforts have been made to analyze the human body's “black box” using sc

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young The first summit between South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and US President Donald Trump, held at the Oval Office of the White House on August 25 (local time), lasted about 2 hours and 20 minutes. The summit began amid tension due to Trump's sudden remarks, but soon shifted to a scene of mutual trust and humor, effectively solidifying the alliance. Prior to the summit, Trump expressed concern on his social media, comparing the political situation in South Korea to a “purge,” and even mentioned the raid on a church and allegations of information gathering at a U.S

South Korea [Publisher Column] Prayer is peace, harmony, and a heart…

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young Every day, we pass through a landscape of fierce words and division. Politics puts more weight on blame than responsibility, and those who are called leaders only talk about ‘strategies’ to defeat their opponents rather than the people. In the midst of this, I say, “This is a time when prayer is needed.” However, true prayer is not a monologue to heaven, but a heart attitude for our neighbors, and it should be the starting point of practice to reflect on my thoughts and actions for someone other than myself. Prayer is ‘courage’ for the weak. Even at this moment, som

By UN Journal Lee Jon-young In the art world, the title of ‘artist’ is not simply a job title or a nameplate. It is the result of public verification and a symbol of the trust that creators receive from the art world. In particular, the titles ‘recommended artist’ and ‘invited artist,’ which are commonly seen in exhibition halls, have functioned as symbolic language that goes beyond simple distinctions to encapsulate the creative journey and artistic position of the artist. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of cases where the mandatory step of being a recommended ar
