한국의 시간

The Korean Variety Hour

Korean Variety Hour, produced by KBS in 1976, captures how Koreans of that era wished to present themselves to a foreign audience. Nearly 50 years later, KBS produced the documentary series Modern Korea, which, with the advantage of a half-century of hindsight, presents images of Korea's past without any additional commentary. By juxtaposing these two programs, the film invites viewers to reflect on how much, or how little, Koreans' perspectives and self-representation have changed over time.
