While the Atomouse for mobile devices preceded Murakami’s work, it was the Superflat series that followed that really captured international attention. It’s not hard to see why the world reacted so differently to these seemingly similar paintings. Murakami included Japan in his Superflat series, while Lee Dong-gi did not. 
In the mid-2000s, Christie’s Hong Kong held an exhibition of contemporary art from Korea, China, and Japan that immediately revealed the differences between the three countries. 
Japan uses manga imagery to express its identity, while China uses traditional and communist symbols. 
On the other hand, the work of Korean artists is distinctive no matter how you look at it. 
What does this difference mean? 
This suggests that something unseen is influencing our interpretation of the meaning of art. 
This is context. 
Context acts like a kind of grammar. 
The grammars that currently dominate the reading of art are Orientalism and Postmodernism. 
Orientalism defines the non-West through Western eyes and requires non-Western writers to show regional characteristics. 
This ultimately creates a situation that emphasizes group identity rather than individual uniqueness. 
Postmodernism also seems to value the individual, but it further divides identity by region, gender, and generation. 
It does not offer a way to understand the uniqueness of the individual. 
Ultimately, the individual serves only as a medium for revealing a more detailed group identity, and art is absorbed into another social discourse. 
Nothing has changed. 
Art is always searching for something new. 
However, it is impossible to create something new if we focus only on recognizing repetitive patterns of collective identity in individual works. 
For the real novelty lies in the uniqueness of each individual.

Seoul Tower. Btw if you ask Koreans about Seoul Tower. They&rsquo;ll look clueless. The term is coined for foreigners, They called it namsan tower. Worth the visit. Make sure you get love locks. Gimmick? Yes will you wife or girlfriend love it? Absolutely. Happy wife happy life. Don&rsquo;t take my word for it take the view of a couple of thousand locks up there as witness. Well if you pissed your wife or gf off, bring them here and they&rsquo;ll probably forgive you.

you can climb up on foot in about 1.5 - 2 hours, from the side of Myeongdong there is a nice village, which is worth a walk. If you have a hard time climbing, it is better to use the funicular. Also, there are almost no kiosks selling water along the way

The palace was built in 1395 (Hongwu, Ming Taizu, 28 years), and has undergone many destruction and reconstruction. The palace is named after the word &quot;Jingfu&quot; in &quot;Jingfu&quot; in &quot;Songs of Songs&quot;. The area and regulations of the palace are strictly followed by the patriarchal relationship with the patriarchal state of China. The county palace under the rule of the Prince was built according to the system of the Ming Dynasty palace. All buildings are distinguished from the yellow of the Chinese palace in the color of Danqing. 🪁 On the 50th anniversary of the Korean Guangfu Rehabilitation in 1995, the three governments of Jin Yong demolished the Japanese-occupied buildings on the grounds of restoring their traditional culture and &quot;clearing the symbols of the Japanese rule period&quot;, and the original site began a large-scale restoration of the Gyeongboku Palace and its annex buildings. In August 2010, South Korea rebuilt the Guanghua Gate, which was originally called &quot;de-Chineseization&quot; and was restored to a traditional Chinese character plaque.
