SEOUL Magazine: Rebooted

rjkoehler — Fri, 07 Oct 2016 05:22:51 +0000

If you think SEOUL looks a lot different this month, it’s because it does.

While our previous, larger format served us well, it was time to move to a simpler, fresher layout that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. With higher quality paper and a design that keeps clutter to absolute minimalism, our new format allows our images and text to speak for themselves. We like it, and we hope you do, too.

You’ll notice some new sections, too, including a special cover story and columns on Korean TV, cinema, music and literature. We’ll be adding even more as we settle into our new skin in the months ahead.

We hope the new look also marks a new beginning for our magazine as we enter our 14th year. We thank our readers for their support over the years, and if you’ve got any suggestions to make us better, don’t hesitate to send them our way.

Korean War in Color

rjkoehler — Thu, 09 Jun 2016 06:28:47 +0000

As if it weren’t bad enough that the Korean War is, for many in the West, a “forgotten war” wedged between the larger conflicts of World War II and Vietnam, its legacy has been conveyed largely in the medium of black and white photography, putting up yet another psychological barrier between the conflict and modern day audiences. In KOREAN WAR IN COLOR, published to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War, the renowned war correspondent breaks down this barrier with a jaw-dropping collection of color photographs of the Korean War, perhaps the finest collection of color images of the conflict anywhere. In vivid hues of blue, green and red, Rich’s photographs take the war out of the history books, allowing readers to better connect with a conflict that, while forgotten, continues to impact the lives of Koreans to this day.
