기사 요약: 이스라엘 히브리대 재학 중인 한국인 유학생이 자신의 유튜브 채널에 '이스라엘 피난 브이로그' 영상을 올려 화제를 모았다.

[4] She was initially scheduled to leave Tel Aviv on June 16 on a plane headed to Paris, which she booked four months ago, but she found that the flight was cancelled. With over 100 missile alarms sent by the authorities piling up on her phone, she searched for a ticket on a flight out of Israel, only to find that the price had skyrocketed to at least 2.37 million won ($1,734) from the previous 816,785 won.

‘Five Vibe' dances on overdrive with tradition, EDM and sweat-soaked power
Charged with raw physicality, 20 male dancers clad in cargo jumpsuits deliver a performance that bites with a steely, industrial edge. Choreographed by Ye Hyo-seung, the National Dance Company's latest production, 'Five Vibe' — which premiered Thursday and runs through Sunday — feels like a cyberpunk fever dream set in a desert. It fuses traditional Korean breathwork and bodily control, resulting in an exhilarating collision of past and future. This also marks a first in the company's 63-year-history: an all-male cast in a genre traditionally centered on female performers. The production highlights the groundedness, power and physicality of male bodies in Korean dance. 'In creating this piece, I wanted to bring the gravitational pull of the body to the stage -- to use acrobatic movement to unleash the full energy of the human form,' Ye said in an interview with The Korea Herald last week. The result is a full-throttle, high-adrenaline spectacle, most of it driven by a rapid tempo. Sweat pours as the dancers vault, roll and plunge across the stage with relentless momentum. The backdrop of a towering wall of speakers pulsates with cyber-industrial energy, conjuring a techno-dystopian future where rhythm and human resilience are equally under pressure. The soundscape, crafted live on stage by music director Song Kwang-ho, melds the visceral thrum of traditional percussion with the synthetic pulse of EDM. 'Five Vibe' is Ye's attempt to distill and reimagine what he considers the five essential elements of Korean dance: line, jangdan (rhythmic cycles), breath, heung (joyous energy) and time. Among them, breath serves as the work's conceptual spine. 'I see breath as the core element of dance,' Ye explained. 'Just as painters use brushes or pens, I use breath to sketch shapes with the body. I may not perform traditional Korean dance per se, but that breath is essential to every dancer.' So there are moments of pause. Ye creates space for a quieter kind of expression: slow, controlled gestures drawn from the vocabulary of traditional Korean dance. A longtime member of the Belgian contemporary company Les Ballets C de la B since 2005, Ye has more recently made a name for himself as an art director for global brands including Hermes, Cartier and Nike. 'I've lived and worked abroad for many years, but it's made me reflect more deeply on what it means to be Korean,' he said. 'I don't see tradition and modernity as separate -- they always intersect. I wanted to present something deeply Korean using the most modern language available.'

Director Yu Hyun-mok's long-lost 'Im Kkeok-jeong' unearthed in US
Film that went missing after 1961 release discovered at US Library of Congress Renowned South Korean film director Yu Hyun-mok's 1961 film "Im Kkeok-jeong" has finally surfaced again at the US Library of Congress after being lost for over six decades. The historical film was screened at the Cinematheque KOFA in Seoul on Thursday as part of a special retrospective celebrating the 100th anniversary of the filmmaker's birth. "The US Library of Congress had a film titled 'General Rim Kog Jung,' which I thought could be a North Korean film. But it turned out to be director Yu's long-lost film that had been missing for over 60 years when I saw his name in the credits," Lee Ji-young, who is in charge of collecting films abroad at Korean Film Archive, recalled the moment when she found the movie during Thursday's event. Released in December 1961, the film is based on a well-known novel of the same title written by Hong Myung-hee and stars some of the most famous actors at that time, including actors Shin Young-kyun, who played the lead role, and Um Aeng-ran. However, the original film copy of "Im Kkeok-jeong" went missing at some point and KOFA does not know when it went missing or why it was lost. To search for the movie, the KOFA, in 2021, began reviewing over 1,800 Korea-related films held by the Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation — a top US archive that is part of the US Library of Congress that keeps and conserves old films and recordings. A year into the effort, KOFA discovered a 35mm film reel of the movie at the Packard Center. The film then underwent a year-long restoration process, with the physical repair and digital scanning done in the US, while post-production tasks like color correction and sound cleanup were completed in Korea.
