Thursday, December 17 2009, 6:30pm - 8:30pm Korean Ghost StoriesClassic Korean TV Series Comes to the U.S.Thursday, December 17, 20096:30 PM * Screening The Korea Society950 Third Avenue @ 57th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY(Building entrance on SW corner of Third Avenue and 57th Street)Since 1977, KBS’ television series Korean Ghost Stories (a.k.a. Hometown of Legend) has thrilled Korean audiences with spooky tales of the supernatural. Join the members of The Korea Society as we screen two hour-long episodes of this perennial Korean favorite on Thursday, December 17. Often drawn from ancient folklore, these tales of tortured ghosts and supernatural curses have a uniquely Korean flavor, as women, forced by Confucian culture into subservient roles, return from the dead to take revenge on the men who caused them misery. The tales also touch on Korean attitudes towards justice, suggesting that the duty of the powerful to protect the powerless transcends even the grave.Screening of Haunted House and The Reincarnated PrincessThursday, December 17, 2009 – 6:30 PMThe second installment of Korean Ghost Stories features two spine-tingling episodes. In Haunted House(starring Lee Duck-hwa, Lee Min-woo, and Yoo Hye-jung), the ghost of a young woman haunts the family members who sold her into a life of corruption, and two sisters return from the grave to seduce and punish the men who killed them in The Reincarnated Princess (starring Lee Jin, Kang Sung-min, and Lee Ji-hyun).All screenings will be presented in Korean with English subtitles. $10 for nonmembers ($5 for members and students)For more information contact Yuni Cho at (212) 759-7525, ext. 323 or [email protected].
