ArtsㅡCulture Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin signed a formal agreement on Air Services Agreement between Korea and Bahrain.
UNJournal Kayla Lee | The Cloud series, which por trays clouds in an abstract form, expresses anxiety while also representing various human relationships and emotions through a range of artistic techniques and scratches. Through different-shaped clouds, the series presents the dualism of virtual and real, while also revealing a desire to be free like a cloud and escape the weight of life's burdens. The power of free expression in the artist's work lies in the fact that it maximizes the effect of freedom. In addition to pouring out shapeless gestures that cannot be confined by any form or meaning onto the screen, the artist freely mixes collages and acrylic paintings using various expressive techniques without being bound by a single medium. To express the Cloud series' new combination, YoungK breaks down physical elements and recombines them on the screen to create something new. Through the language of beauty that is created by artistic creativity or imagination unrelated to nature, the artist avoids a geometric, linear approach and instead expresses a romantic and abstract form that conveys the world of unconsciousness and dreams, as well as fantasy and imagination free from the domination of reason. By leading the concrete form into abstraction through intuitive and imaginative creations without being restricted by physicality, the artist freely develops and expands their painting world. The existence of clouds, which float around in irregular forms, is a visible collection that cannot be defined. Although we often recall the word "cloud" and imagine a learned image, clouds are actually an irregular vapor con sisting of water droplets and ice crystals. The ever-changing shape of clouds as they float around represents an intermediary that expresses the uneasy reality world we cannot be complacent with, and the contradictory image of clouds becomes a text that expresses imagination between the virtual and the real.By abstracting the shape of clouds and relying on the power of material rather than drawing a concrete form, the artist creates a text that is the language of beauty. ■ Profile Graduated from the Department of Fine Arts (Painting Major) at Hongik University Graduate School of Art ■ Major activities 2022 Selected Artist for the Professional Arts Creation Support Project, Ansan Cultural Foundation 2022 Exhibition Coordinator for the Ansan International Art Show, Ansan Cultural Foundation 2020 Operating Committee member for the Gyeonggi Art Exhibition, Promotion and Administrative Support for the Ansan International Art Show 2020 "Ar t r ium Jeonju," Artist Art Market [Meeting the Life and World of Artists through Video/Artist Yeong-K, Jeonju] 2019 "Art Pop-up Store in Jeonju," Artist Art Market [Artist Talk: Yeong-K, Hwimok Art Museum, Arts Management Support Center] 2018 G-Open Studio <Next-door Artists: Ansan Edition>, Selected Artist: Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation 2018 Shin-Do-ri Station Culture Railroad 959: The 6th TOCA Art, 959 Art Platform Open Studio - Invited Artist, Guro Cultural Foundation, TOCA Art, Guro District Office, Korea Culture and Arts Committee 2016 Selected Artist for the Gyeonggi Youth, Korea Art Association, Gyeonggi Province Branch 2014 Selected Ar tist for the 8th Yoo Jung Art Center Monthly Project, Yoo Jung Art Center Solo Exhibition 2022 The 11th Cloud Connected Gyeonggi-do Ansan, Gallery Still 2021 The 10th Breath of Life; Ansan Cultural Arts Center Gallery A, Gyeonggi Province, Gallery Still 2020 The 9th Uncomfortable Space; Lack of Comfort, Ansan Cultural Arts Center Gallery A 2018 The 8th "2018 ART SEOUL" Selected Artist Invited Booth Exhibition, Seoul, Hangaram Art Museum Exhibition Hall 5,6 2015 Selected Ar tist for the 6th Yoo Jung Art Center Monthly Project, Yoo Jung Art Center 1Gallery Exhibition 2014 The 5th K-Art Gallery Opening Exhibition Invited Exhibition "Sense & Sensibility," Seoul, K-Art Gallery 2013 "CLOUDS" 4th and 3rd Exhibition, Sun Gallery, Ansan, Gyeonggi-do and GN Gallery, Icheon, Gyeonggi-do 2012 "Harmony of the Seen and the Unseen," Sun Gallery, Ansan, Gyeonggi-do 2010 The 1st Danwon Art Museum Branch Exhibition, Planning Exhibition ■ Career 2022 Art, Each is Coming Out, Woojin Culture Space Gallery 2022 2-Person Exhibition: Geumbosung x Ye ong-K, Monamour Gallery The Purple Gallery No. 2 2022 Ace Art Planning Exhibition, Kongseu Gallery, Maru Art Center 2022 Gallery Maronie Invitational Exhibition, Art Center Jeongmisu Gallery Maronie 2021 Identity Exhibition, 22nd Regional Artists Invitational Exhibition, Special Exhibition Hall A, Imrip Art Museum 2020 3.3 Node Cluster Exhibition 5-Person Exhibition: Yeong-K, Lee Bu-an, K im Tae-cheol, Park Hyun-su, Kim Seok-jeong, Jainjeno Gallery 2019 "Drawing for Seven Months in Byeolmaro": Korea-China International Art Exchange Exhibition, Weihai Economic Development Zone Art Museum, Weihai Yugon Art Museum, Yeongwol Cultural Heritage Foundation, Hwimok Art Museum, Yugon Art Museum, China 2018 Next Door Art: Artists living next door (Ansan), Exhibition name: Flower Spring Opening, Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, 2018 Light in Filigree - 2 and 3 French artists "La lumiere en filigrane-Carole Becam, Jean-Francois Sublet, Young.

UN members Korea, Mexico hold their foreign ministers’ meeting
UNJournal By Kayla Lee | On December 8, Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin had a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico Alicia Bárcena Ibarra, who was on a visit to Korea from December 7 to 10. In the meeting, the two sides discussed Korea-Mexico relations, substantive cooperation and cooperation on the international stage. The Korea-Mexico Foreign Ministers’ meeting came merely about one month after the one held on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in San Francisco on November 15. Foreign Minister Bárcena was visiting Korea for consultations with the Korean government and companies for an early securement of emergency recovery supplies in the wake of Hurricane Otis that hit Acapulco, Mexico, in late October. Foreign Minister Park once again extended consolation over the damage from the hurricane. Citing the Mexican proverb that “Desgracia compartida, menos sentida (Two in distress makes sorrow less),” the Foreign Minister stated that Korea will cooperate closely for Mexico’s prompt securement of recovery supplies. Foreign Minister Bárcena responded by conveying deep appreciation. Foreign Minister Park brought attention to the fact that Mexico, with which Korea marked the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations last year, is the first Latin American country with which Korea has forged strategic partnership. He went on to note with appreciation that close cooperative ties between the two countries are continuing to develop on the basis of their long-standing friendship demonstrated by many young Mexicans having joined efforts to safeguard liberal democracy of Korea during the Korean War, among others. In particular, Foreign Minister Park, citing the trade volume between Korea and Mexico -- the former’s largest trading partner and second-largest investment destination in Latin America -- that exceeded US$20 billion last year for the first time, looked forward to closer cooperation in trade and investment with Mexico, a key beneficiary of global nearshoring. He added that, to that end, it is important to resume Korea-Mexico FTA negotiations as well as those for Korea’s accession to the Pacific Alliance (PA) as an associated state, asking for Foreign Minister Bárcena’s keen attention and cooperation in that regard. Foreign Minister Bárcena responded that utmost efforts will be made to resume Korea-Mexico FTA negotiations and to facilitate Korea’s accession to the PA as an associated state. On the heels of their meeting, the two Foreign Ministers had a Korean-style luncheon, over which they had a candid conversation on political and social affairs, economy, culture, and various other areas -- Korea-Mexico defense cooperation, including honorable treatment of the U.S. Korean War veterans of Mexican origin; the potential for Korea-Mexico economic cooperation amid the nearshoring trend; women’s participation in political and economic affairs in Mexico; and the popularity of Hallyu (Korean Wave) in Mexico and Koreans’ interest in rich Mexican culture. By doing so, the two sides further enhanced the Korea-Mexico friendship.

ArtsㅡCulture “The act of painting is a battle against time”
[Journalist Lee Jeong-ha's Special Series] The artist's work is a repetitive process of filling and erasing over countless hours. In the midst of this repetitive process, matière naturally emerges, and the time of coexistence and extinction comes into play. Kandinsky describes white as "a silence full of possibilities" - understated drawing, understated color, and the white of a blank page. Emptying rather than filling, spirit rather than material, form rather than formlessness. For a long time, the artist has been using the sharpness and simplicity of straight lines as a place for mutual breathing, flow, and communication between objects and objects. Filling the empty spaces with color and expressing various emotions, the artist creates a deeper sense of space through the aesthetics of slowness and pauses. The artist's colors carry the power of healing. As a result, looking at the bright and lively paintings within the canvas brings warmth to the heart. The fine lines of emotion on the screen, which are expressed like a fireworks display of fluorescent colors, sometimes clumsily and sometimes cheerfully, express feelings, wind, and time in color. The artist's works signify the meeting of art and healing, opening a new chapter in the inner self. Although the inner worlds revealed through art are diverse, each work encapsulates unique statements that blend personal emotions, experiences, and ideas. The artist shares insights gained through personal journeys, conveying a desire for communication through their works. Art, as depicted in these works, serves as a discourse on healing media that guides, encourages, comforts, and reveals the strength and courage found within ourselves.
