[팟캐스트] (667) 봉준호, 6년 만의 신작도 여전히 인간 이야기 중심
진행자: 홍유, Elise Youn
기사 요약: 봉준호 감독은 6년 만에 선보인 신작 "미키17 (Mickey 17)"에 대해, SF 장르를 통해 인간 본성을 탐구하며 현대 사회의 노동 착취 문제를 다룬다고 밝혔다.
[1] "I've never been freeloading," Bong Joon-ho quips with a mischievous glint. The Oscar-winning director is speaking to reporters at a hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, Wednesday, discussing his first film in six years.
freeload: 빈둥거리다, 공짜로 얻어먹다
quip: 재치있게 말하다.
mischievous: 장난기 있는
[2]The film "Mickey 17" stars Robert Pattinson in a dual role as expendable clones on a distant ice planet. It's Bong's fourth venture into science fiction, following "The Host" (2006), "Snowpiercer" (2013) and "Okja" (2017). But as with those earlier works, the director's interest lies more in human nature than technological speculation.
expendable: 소모용의, 소모품인
human nature: 인간 본성
speculation: 추측
[3] For Bong, science fiction has been a lens through which to examine contemporary reality. His previous genre works — whether exploring environmental disaster in "The Host" or class warfare in "Snowpiercer" — used fantastical premises to illuminate present-day concerns. Mickey 17 continues this tradition, with its story of a disposable worker serving as a mirror for modern-day labor exploitation.
premise: 전제
exploitation: 착취
[4] "Rather than focusing on the sci-fi elements, I was most strongly drawn to the concept of human printing itself," Bong says. "I wanted to explore Mickey as a person — this poor, kindhearted but pathetic young man, and how he might survive such extreme circumstances. Instead of grand philosophical worldbuilding, I wanted to look into Mickey's mind, his emotional state."

The nihilist gets his treasure hunt
How webtoon artist Yoon Tae-ho's tale of scrappy 1970s grifters became Disney+'s latest bet on Korean content Fidgeting with his hands at a Samcheong-dong cafe on Monday afternoon, Yoon Tae-ho says, "I'm basically a nihilist." "My original ending for 'Low Life' was about shutting everything down -- I felt these people deserved nothing. "But watching the Disney+ adaptation, I realized their ending was actually better than mine," he continues. This admission comes from the artist behind some of Korea's most successful webtoon-to-screen adaptations. "Inside Men" exposed the obscene corruption of Korea's elite through a gangster's bloody revenge tale -- its 2015 film adaptation drew over nine million viewers. "Misaeng: Incomplete Life" turned the politics and daily grind of a corporate job into appointment television, with salarymen and women across the country seeing their lives reflected in protagonist Jang Geu-rae's struggles. Each adaptation has found its audience; no failures yet. "My work doesn't have many fantasy elements, so I guess the bar's pretty low when it comes to adaptation," Yoon says. His latest, "Low Life," follows small-time hustlers in 1977 chasing rumors of sunken treasure off Sinan, at the southwestern tip of Korea. The 11-episode series premiered last month with a sprawling cast including Ryu Seung-ryong, Lim Soo-jung and TVXQ's Jung Yunho. The project began, as many of Yoon's do, with late-night internet searches during a creative slump. He'd heard stories about a 14th-century treasure ship discovered off Sinan since childhood. "Word traveled slowly back then. You'd hear rumors and either jump in your truck or assume you were too late. My characters were definitely the 'let's go' types." Research took him first to a maritime museum in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province, where he examined recovered artifacts and the reconstructed vessel. He interviewed locals whose relatives had worked on the original underwater excavation project. He hired a drone company to photograph 11 locations around Sinan from every angle. Then a radio producer in Busan introduced him to an antiques dealer whose rapid-fire dialect captivated him. "That's when I knew this couldn't be some local story," he says. "It had to pull people from all over the country." Yoon's hunger for facts and context shows in his creative process, which starts with chronology. "I build a timeline for every major character from birth to the present," he explains. "Then I map historical events alongside them. "Take the midnight curfew. One character lived through it, another heard about it as a student, another only knows it from their father's stories. That completely changes how they see the world." At a time when every other release seems based on existing IP, tensions between original creators and those adapting their work can run high. Social media lights up with fans dissecting every change, ready to pounce on perceived deviations. Yoon couldn't care less. "Once I sell the rights, that's it," he says. "My work should already contain everything I wanted to express. Why expect the adaptation to fix what I couldn't?" Director Kang Yoon-sung would call him occasionally about changes: Could they switch the order of certain scenes? How bald should this character be? "The director was incredibly considerate," Yoon laughs. "Always checking if he's overstepping." But bigger projects come with bigger stakes. Watching his work become a major production, Yoon finds it hard to shake off the pressure. "What I loved about webtoons is their privacy," he says. "If I fail, it's not like the entire world collapses. But visiting TV production sets with 100-person crews -- these people have families to feed. If this fails, it's not just me who takes the hit." So he consciously avoids thinking about the outcomes for now, trying to maintain the freewheeling spirit of his earlier days. "The more responsibility you shoulder, the easier it is to lose that lightness. I work hard to hang onto it." Currently, Yoon is working on the third season of "Misaeng" and writing his first screenplay for another TV drama -- a 100-page treatment that reads like a novel. He's been living in a hanok in Boseong, South Jeolla Province, since last November, when the city offered him space to work. What started as a monthlong residency has now stretched to eight months. The nihilist seems to have found his balance.

Singer Insooni named 2025 Woman of Influence winner
Recognized for humanitarian work with multicultural youth, singer becomes first Korean recipient since 2000 of prize awarded by Pearl S. Buck International Korean singer Insooni was named the 2025 Woman of Influence Award recipient by Pearl S. Buck International on Friday, becoming the first Korean to receive the honor since former first lady Lee Hee-ho in 2000. The 68-year-old singer, born Kim In-soon to a Korean mother and African American father following the Korean War, was recognized for her humanitarian work supporting multiracial and multicultural youth in South Korea. She founded Haemil School in 2013, a tuition-free alternative school for multiethnic and biracial students in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, where she continues to serve as president. The singer "overcame deep societal racial discrimination to become a success in the music industry and a household name in her home country," Pearl S. Buck International stated on its website Friday. As a child, Insooni received assistance from Pearl S. Buck International's child sponsorship program while being raised by her single mother, according to the organization's website. She now serves as a board member for Pearl S. Buck Foundation Korea, the organization's Korean affiliate. The Pennsylvania-based nonprofit, founded in 1964 by Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, works to advance humanitarian causes and foster cross-cultural understanding. Its Woman of Influence Award, established in 1978, honors women who have distinguished themselves through career achievements and humanitarian advocacy. Insooni will accept the award in person at a ceremony scheduled for Aug. 21 at the organization's estate in Perkasie, Pennsylvania.

Six Changdeokgung Palace murals displayed together for the first time
National Palace Museum of Korea marks 20th anniversary with historic royal court art exhibition The National Palace Museum of Korea is showcasing all six surviving murals from the Changdeokgung residential halls for the first time in the special exhibition, 'Respectfully Portrayed Murals at Changdeokgung Palace.' Running from Thursday to Oct. 12, the exhibition commemorates the museum's 20th anniversary. The six large-scale murals — produced in 1920 for the Huijeongdang, Daejojeon and Gyeonghungak halls at Changdeokgung — are the last examples of royal court painting in Korea. Measuring up to nine meters wide, the works were originally mounted above interior doors in the palace's reconstructed halls following a 1917 fire. The murals remained in place for over a century before being restored and transferred to the museum. 'These masterpieces bring together over a century of royal history, art and resilience,' said Jeong Yong-jae, director of the National Palace Museum of Korea, during a press briefing on Wednesday. 'It is deeply meaningful to offer the public the chance to appreciate these works, recognized for their historical and artistic excellence as state-registered cultural heritage.' Artists such as Kim Gyu-jin, Kim Eun-ho and Lee Sang-beom blended traditional court styles with modern influences, inscribing their names alongside the phrase 'geunsa' (respectfully portrayed) — a rare expression of personal authorship in art produced by artists of the royal court. The exhibition is divided into two sections: the first presents each mural in depth, including newly restored pieces from Gyeonghungak and a preparatory sketch for 'White Cranes.' 'Kim Eun-ho's original preparatory sketch for 'White Cranes' is being exhibited for the first time, and as you can see, the moon is not included in the initial draft,' said Lee Hong-joo, a researcher at the Exhibition & Publicity Division of the National Palace Museum of Korea. 'The sketch was created as part of a collaborative process to ensure harmony with 'Phoenixes,' the joint work by Oh Il-young and Yi Yong-u displayed opposite it, allowing for final adjustments to be made to the completed painting.' The second section features 'Magnificent Murals Awaken Once More,' a digital installation reimagining the artworks through interactive media. In conjunction with the exhibition, the museum will host lectures, youth workshops, and hands-on programs for families and adults, spotlighting the historical and cultural significance of palace murals in Korea's transition to modern art.
