As the world’s attention was focused on Beijing yesterday evening, in a small hanok in Bukcheon another celebration was taking place. Anna Fifield, the FT’s Seoul bureau chief, was having a farewell party to mark the end of her four years in the Land of Morning Calm.

I’d like to welcome a new contributor to this site. Beccy Kennedy first visited this site a few weeks ago asking to be put in touch with Korean artists in the UK and with Korean societies in Manchester. Once again daeguowl came up with the answers.
