Korean government support in the 1990’s helped fuel the Korean Wave of pop culture that swept Asia and Hawai‘i. That wave appears to have peaked, along with Korea’s economic tiger status, and some in Korea’s film industry have been reflecting a growing social malaise. HPR’sNoeTanigawa reports on a film series examining castaways in Korean society.
“Castaway in Korean Society”, the Spring Film series at the UH M?noa Center for Korean studies, begins tonight, 2/3/15, at 6:30. All films are free and open to the public. Find a schedule of films here.
