El Salvador brings 'Ultra Symphony' exhibition to Seoul
Minato's 12-piece mixed-media series combined diverse techniques and pop-street art elements to fuse memory, color and modernity into what he called 'a visual symphony' of intertwined emotion, symbolism and aesthetics.
'Inspired by fragmented memories and intimate moments — such as a cup of coffee, a caress, a victory or even a glance — each piece offers a visual narrative of the ephemeral and the eternal,' Minato told The Korea Herald.
The collection blended Salvadoran traditions with modern influences such as bitcoin and anime, encouraging reflection on the nation's social and cultural evolution.
Sharing a press release with The Korea Herald, the embassy described Minato as a multidisciplinary artist, exhibited globally, who evolved from urban art to graphic design and then contemporary painting using unconventional techniques rooted in human experience.
The exhibition, which opened on July 26, was not only a celebration of Salvadoran talent abroad but also a 'powerful instrument of cultural diplomacy,' bridging El Salvador and South Korea through shared artistic dialogue, the embassy told The Korea Herald.
After the "Ultra Symphony Series," Minato will continue his presence in Korea with two 'Flower's Memory' exhibitions opening on Aug. 21 and Sept. 4, the embassy said.

[Herald Interview] Zoonizini hopes for lasting bonds, passion for music in 'Some Things Never Change'
MJ and Jinjin of Astro come together as subunit to explore a variety of musical styles and projects to attract new listeners Whether we like it or not, change is the only constant in life. Good moments do not last forever, but neither do bad ones, and even those moments of serenity eventually transform into something new. In hopes that their passion for music and the bond they share with their bandmates will remain forever, MJ and Jinjin of boy group Astro have come together for the first time as Zoonizini, debuting as a unit with the main track "Some Things Never Change," which will be released Wednesday at 6 p.m. "It is a song that evokes nostalgia, meant to bring to mind memories of fun days spent with long-time friends, along with the idea of lasting bonds. It is also something that we both hope will never change," said Jinjin, who produced the song, as he walked The Korea Herald through the new release during an interview Friday held at Fantagio, the group's agency, in Seoul's Gangnam-gu. "We are in our 10th year now, and I remember saying in an interview when we debuted that I hoped we could have a long-lasting career as singers. That was how we started, and fast forward 10 years, we have achieved so much — from performing on the dome stage and cherishing memories with fans," Jinjin said, with a smile beaming on his face. "There is very little in life that isn't hard, and there are moments of doubt about whether pursuing this career was the right choice, but performing on stage brings so much joy that it outweighs those struggles," MJ chimed in, saying that fans helped them grow. Speaking of the song he made, MJ said the track combines a smooth, rhythmic piano loop with an old-school boom bap beat, creating an emotional but easy-to-listen vibe. "To be frank, I wanted to make an album that could reach a wider audience and something nice and easy to listen to, especially during the summer season. That is why I wanted to return to the basics by embracing old-school hip-hop," Jinjin said. Apart from the lead track, the album "Dice" includes the tracks "New world," "Utopia," "Favorite Memory," "Starlight Voyage" and "Restart." All penned by Jinjin, the album expresses the duo's determination to live freely and enjoy every moment on their own terms, with six tracks that tell the story of a spontaneous journey through new experiences. Jinjin said that his inspiration comes from a combination of imagination, visual concepts and personal interests such as movies and games, which he then weaves into his music. "The song 'New world' was inspired by the movie 'Jumanji'," he added. Looking back on their 10-year musical journey, the duo also expressed hopes of building a stronger presence as artists. "As a unit, I want to explore a variety of musical styles and projects to attract new listeners. I also hope to appear on more variety shows, as well as embark on more international tours. By continuing to work this way, I believe we can steadily elevate our status and reputation in the music industry," MJ said.

YG chief, G-Dragon probed over alleged copyright infringement
YG says the issue stemmed from two different songs with same title being included on G-Dragon's concert setlist in 2009 G-Dragon of Big Bang and Yang Hyun-suk, the head of K-pop powerhouse YG Entertainment, are being probed over alleged violation of copyright law, officials said Wednesday. "Police have launched an investigation into the two after receiving a complaint in November last year from a composer who claimed that the singer and Yang had illegally copied the composer's song," an official at Seoul's Mapo Police Station told The Korea Herald. Police have twice raided YG Entertainment's headquarters in Seoul's Mapo-gu and have questioned those involved in the case, the official added. The official declined to comment further on the issue, saying that the case is "ongoing." The individual reportedly claimed that YG Entertainment had illegally copied the song he made and later produced and released it as part of G-Dragon's album without authorization, in violation of the copyright law, according to local reports. Producing and distributing albums without the permission of the person who made the music violates Article 136 of the Copyright Act. A senior official at YG Entertainment told The Korea Herald that the case does not violate the copyright law. "The artist (G-Dragon) included two different songs during his solo concert in 2009 that happened to have the same title on the setlist, so this is not a case of copyright infringement," the official explained, declining to provide further information on the ongoing investigation. An official at Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's agency, also echoed the same remarks, declining to comment further on the issue.

Two ‘Little Mermaid' dancers, trading fins for legs, learn to walk as if for the first time
John Neumeier's 'Little Mermaid' by Korean National Ballet gets second run The long, blue fabric sways like a mermaid's tail, rippling as much through the air as across the stage. At a rehearsal for John Neumeier's 'The Little Mermaid,' two dancers of the Korean National Ballet swim tirelessly — not in water, but through air and across the floor — in pursuit of the most innocent love. Cho Yeon-jae, reprising the role she performed at last year's premiere, and Kim Byeol, making her debut after understudying, perform the narrative ballet from Wednesday to Sunday at the Seoul Arts Center. Like the mermaid struggling to walk on new legs, the two dancers were busy learning to move gracefully while 'swimming' in tails during a rehearsal earlier this month. In an interview with The Korea Herald, the two described just walking in their tails — wide pants, long and slippery — as a challenge in itself. They must kick the fabric just right so it flutters freely without tangling or tripping them up. 'I've developed this strange new skill for kicking it properly,' Cho said. 'Even so, I tripped a lot at first — sometimes stepping on my own tail, sometimes someone else stepping on it, or getting tangled around legs and arms.' And no matter how careful they are, the pants seem to have a will of their own. 'My legs have gotten plenty of bruises,' Kim added. 'There's always a chance it won't go the way I want. It's nerve-wracking.' Swimming with arms and tail Based on Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 story, Neumeier's ballet follows a mermaid's yearning to enter the human world for love, a journey marked by sacrifice and profound pain — intertwined with Andersen's autobiographical tale of unrequited love. 'The story teaches us that no matter how much we may love someone, this does not make the other person responsible (for loving us),' Neumeier said at a press conference in Seoul last year. The challenge of becoming a mermaid doesn't end with mastering the long tail. The arm movements diverge sharply from classical ballet's elegant arcs. Instead, the dancers craft port de bras that ripple and wave as if swimming underwater — delicate, fluid and almost primitive in their muscular expressiveness. To get it right, Kim went to a swimming pool. 'I tried moving my arms underwater to feel the resistance — how slow and heavy it is. I wanted to bring that sensation into my dancing.' For Cho, the trick was finding the right balance — not quite perfect, but not too sloppy. She said last year's rehearsals involved constant corrections of her arm movements. So this year, she practiced them in advance, but the directors told her she was moving 'too' well. 'I had to keep reminding myself that underwater you wouldn't move that fast. So I focused on moving more slowly, as if suspended in water.' One of the most striking scenes depicts the mermaid trading her tail for legs. From that moment, she walks on land with agony. 'I'm imagining a child just beginning to walk, unable to fully control their limbs. I want to bring that awkwardness,' Cho said. Kim studied videos of newborn calves. 'They're wobbly, unsure. I tried to imitate that. I even thought, maybe getting actual blisters would make the pain more real.' Riding emotions of dramatic ballet Earlier this year, both dancers took on major roles in Neumeier's 'The Lady of the Camellias' — Cho as Marguerite, Kim as Olympia and Manon. With back-to-back ballets by the same choreographer, they are fully immersed in the world of narrative ballet. 'In drama ballet, you can't let the thread of emotion drop until the curtain falls,' Cho said. Kim agreed. 'Your emotions guide your movements, so they change every rehearsal, every night, little by little. I think that's why I love it. That's the beauty and the art.' For Cho, the emotional peaks are unforgettable. 'In the pas de deux with the prince in the pink dress at the climax — from the scream to the final scene — everything I've built from Act I comes pouring out,' she said. Kim's favorite moment comes earlier, in silence. 'After rescuing the prince and moving him ashore, my mermaid sisters call me away. I start to follow but I can't. I turn back to him. That stillness there … every time, it hits me. It's the moment I realize I truly love him.' Cho, promoted to principal earlier this year, has firmly established her name among ballet fans and is mindful of the responsibility that comes with the role. 'I know my weaknesses better than anyone. I want to grow into someone worthy of the title,' she said. 'With each role, I learn so much. I can feel changes in my body and technique. I want to keep improving and be the kind of dancer who surprises every time.' For corps de ballet member Kim, the company's youngest dancer, this is her second lead role in Seoul after December's 'The Nutcracker.' 'I want to be an artist who moves not just with technique but with genuine emotions — someone who can share that sincerity with the audience and move their hearts,' Kim said.
