Hanbando (The Korean Peninsula)

Seoul Selection Bookstore
11 A.M. SATURDAY

Directed by Kang Woo-suk, the film is set in the future as South Korea develops a close relationship with the North. The two Koreas agree to reopen a railway between the two states, but as it constructed the railway during its colonial occupation of the peninsula, Japan claims ownership of the railway. To prove Japan has no ownership rights, patriotic historian Choi Min-jae (played by Cho Jae-hyun), with cooperation from other progressive politicians and the president of South Korea (played by Ahn Sung-ki), seeks the authentic Great Seal of King Kojong hidden by the king. Kojong was the 26th king of the Choson Kingdom and the first emperor of the Taehan Empire. They believe the original seal is the key to demonstrate that most contracts between Korea and Japan were either made forcibly or faked. The venue is located near Anguk Station on subway line 3. Tickets cost 3,000 won. For more information, call (02) 734- 9565 or visit http://www.seoulselection.com
