Hello Korea – 안녕하세요

19th June 2022

Jeonju, 2011

Last week, to my delight and amazement, I saw I had nearly seventy hits on one day, most of which came from South Korea.

To say thank you, here are some of my memories of your breathe-taking country, it’s films and literature.

Hope to come back again one day.

Some of my favourite Korean films:

Some of my favourite Korean books:
