[K-Correspondent] Stories of the Korean Provisional Government told at exhibition in Brussels

대한민국 임시정부의 꿈, 브뤼셀에서 울리다

Korea marks the 80th anniversary of its liberation tomorrow on, August 15th.

This day is not only remembered here, but there are also related events taking place around the world, including in Belgium, where a special exhibition is taking European visitors through an untold story of Korea’s history.

To talk more about the meaning of this event, we connect with Mr. Kim Dong-eun , the Director of the Korean Cultural Center in Belgium and the EU. Hello Director Kim!

Q1. Director Kim, let’s begin with some background on the special exhibition you are hosting in Brussels. How did the event come about?

Q2. What’s the meaning behind the name of the exhibition “A Dream of Peace: The Untold Story of the Korean Provisional Government”?

Q2-1. I heard the exhibition is divided into different parts or “stories.” Could you give us the details please?

Q3. I can imagine how Belgians and other Europeans will find it very interesting to discover Europeans’ contributions to Korea’s provisional government. Can you give us examples of such support or any specific figures that are being introduced at the exhibition?

Q4. And how has the response from local visitors been so far?

Q5. The Korean Cultural Center in Belgium and the EU has consistently been promoting Korean history as well as traditional artefacts of Korea. Tell us more about the reason behind such efforts.

Q6. More recently, are there any particular (new) areas that you are focusing on to promote Korea? Also, could you give us a glimpse into any future projects or goals?

Thank you very much, Director Kim for connecting with us today and also for your efforts in telling the untold stories of important pieces of Korea's history in Belgium and Europe.

Thank you Bella as always, see you back soon.
