SUMMARY:2026 Korea on Screen: The Final Semester(3학년 2학기)
DESCRIPTION:The Korean Cultural Center New York proudly presents The Final Semester as part of its Korea on Screen series—a year-long screening series celebrating the depth and diversity of Korean cinema. Through feature films\, documentaries\, short films\, and independent productions\, the series aims to broaden access to and appreciation of Korean cinema in New York City. \nA quietly powerful portrait of youth and labor\, The Final Semester follows Chang-woo\, a vocational high school student navigating the pressures of his first workplace internship—balancing physical hardship\, psychological strain\, and the quiet indignities of a system that measures young people by their utility. Director Lee Ran-hee brings a clear-eyed sensitivity to the realities faced by working-class youth in contemporary Korea\, grounding the film in the textures of everyday labor and the small dignities that make it bearable.

SUMMARY:Geopolitics\, Identity\, and the Fight for Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:The third webinar in this series examines the downstream effects of U.S. foreign policy through both a historical and contemporary lens. Drawing parallels across time\, the conversation will explore how periods of international strain have influenced domestic policies and legal interpretations—from immigration restrictions to citizenship rights—and how these dynamics continue to evolve today. \nThe session will explore how narratives of rivalry and suspicion can translate into real-world consequences for communities with heritage ties to countries at the center of geopolitical tension. We will discuss the tradeoffs policymakers face and provide a nuanced understanding of how national priorities intersect with civil liberties.

SUMMARY:10th Orchid Pavilion Gathering Master Class: Hu Wenge in Performance and in Context
DESCRIPTION:In 1930\, China Institute of America invited Mei Lanfang to make his triumphant debut on Broadway. Nearly a century later\, we proudly present a one-time-only opportunity to once again be immersed in the artistry of an internationally acclaimed Peking opera star. \nChina Institute is honored to host Hu Wenge\, a master of the Mei School of Peking opera\, for a special New York performance. As the only male protégé of the late Mei Baojiu\, son of Mei Lanfang\, Hu Wenge is among the very few inheritors in the line of the male dan tradition\, the art of male performers portraying female roles. This landmark event is part of China Institute’s Centennial celebration and is presented in conjunction with the current exhibition “The Dancing Goddess: Mei Lanfang in America” at China Institute Gallery. \nHu will perform in full the iconic drama The Drunken Beauty\, a centerpiece of the opera canon. Through the sophisticated union of movement and music\, he brings to life the distilled essence of the legendary Yang Guifei’s complex emotions as the emperor’s ill-fated favorite. Following the performance\, two distinguished scholars will offer historic insights into the work\, joining Maestro Hu in sharing in-depth reflections on the unique sonic and physical aspects of Sinitic opera. \nThis 10th edition of the Orchid Pavilion Gathering is part of our annual series celebrating artistic exchange\, inspired by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi’s (307–365) historic literati gathering on Mount Kuaiji.

SUMMARY:Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Kim Koo’s Birth: Exhibition Opening & Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The Korea Society is honored to host a special exhibition and presentation honoring the life\, enduring vision\, and profound legacy of Kim Koo—one of the most revered leaders of the Korean independence movement. As a central figure in the Korean independence movement and the President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea\, Kim Koo presented a visionary outlook that emphasized national strength based on culture rather than military or economic power. To commemorate UNESCO’s designation of 2026 as the 150th anniversary of Kim Koo’s birth\, The Korea Society offers a unique opportunity to reflect on his legacy through both a visual exhibition and intellectual exchange. \nThis special event marks the opening of the exhibition\, Kim Koo: Dreaming of Peace Through the Power of Culture\, and features a presentation prepared by The Association of Commemorative Service for Patriot Kim Koo. It also celebrates the 11th anniversary of the Kim Koo Professional Series at The Korea Society. The program will feature Dr. Han Kyung-Koo\, who served as the Secretary-General of the Korean National Commission for UNESCO and played a pivotal role in the 2026 UNESCO designation. Congratulatory remarks are provided by Kim Koo Foundation chairperson Dr. Kim Mee. \nThis program is produced in partnership between The Korea Society and The Association of Commemorative Service for Patriot Kim Koo and made possible by the support of the Kim Koo Foundation.

SUMMARY:Protecting Your Mental Health While Doing Voter Engagement
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs mental health awareness has grown\, access to care and meaningful influence over the systems that shape it have not kept pace. Younger generations in particular are experiencing higher rates of anxiety and depression while also facing barriers to both care and civic participation. This webinar brings together leaders from the National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Democracy Security Project alongside voter engagement experts to explore how structural challenges impact both mental health outcomes and civic voice\, often leaving the most affected communities underrepresented in critical decisions. \nThe session will also address the emotional toll of voter engagement work and offer practical strategies to help organizers and advocates protect their well being while sustaining their impact. Participants will gain insight into how civic participation can strengthen connection and agency\, and why ensuring people have both a voice and the capacity to use it is essential to building healthier\, more responsive systems.
