Special Event for this week’s Korean Film Nights: The Concubine (2012) directed by Kim Dae Seung The Korean Cultural Centre UK will present another special event for the forthcoming film screening of The Concubine involving a Hanbok dressing-up session and Korean Insam tea (Ginseng). The Hanbok is a traditional Korean outfit worn by both men and women on special occasions in South Korea. It is the main costume in The Concubine, playing a significant role within the mise-en-scene. The lead characters Jo Yeo-Jeong, Kim Dong-Wook and Kim Min-jun wear Hanboks as a way of expressing their social status, as was done during both the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty. The Concubine is set in the Joseon Dynasty; the texture of fabric and details for the designs of the Hanbok in the film noticeably differentiate the social status between the King, Queen and lower social status such as concubines and servants. Today, the Hanbok does not necessarily represent one’s social status. For this event, we will help you dress up in these beautiful outfits and take a snapshot before the film starts. After the screening, your photograph will be ready for collection. Additionally, we will be offering Insam (ginseng) tea for all guests to try. Insam tea is traditional tea from Korea made from ginseng, pine nuts and honey. It’s known to have the following health benefits, such as improved digestion, lowering cholesterol levels and boosting the immune system, to name just a few. If you are interested taking part in these additional events, please arrive by 6.30pm. The dress up session will be on a first come first serve basis. You can book your places now on our website. kccuk.org.uk
