South Korean Artists on the Summit of Change

How do a history of division and the prospect of unity inspire South Korean artists, ahead of the on-off meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un? Can art and music cross the border between north and south, both on the map and in the mind?

Novelist Krys Lee tells Tina what her novel, How I Became a North Korean, reveals about how identity is constructed by national borders.

Music agent Bernie Cho gives us his guide to how K-pop propaganda became K-pop diplomacy.

Multi-media artists Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho give Tina an insight into Freedom Village, their video and photo installation based on a mysterious settlement in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea.

Plus, Kevin Kim of the BBC’s Korea Service explores the phenomenon of Korean men swapping military service for competitive dance, with choreographer Lyon Eun Kwon and sound designer Jimmy Sert.
