A Korean animation director fused past and present K-culture to spark the global craze for ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters,’ winning Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. His works reflect Korean cultural details (e.g., wooden chopsticks placed on a napkin) and gained international praise. Ticket event: The National Symphony Orchestra will perform Shostakovich’s Symphony No.1 at Seoul Arts Center on the 11th, conducted by Roberto Abbado with cellist Nicolas Altstaedt; apply on the arte site by the 5th for a chance to win two R-seat tickets (5 winners; winners announced on the 6th). Column picks: a music critic reflects on the wintry sounds in Sibelius’s Symphony No.1, and a film critic discusses the movie "Tuesday" where a grieving mother speaks with a death-bringing parrot about faith and the afterlife.
