K-pop group's manager dismissed for setting up spycam in theater dressing room
The Royal Asiatic Society is hosting a presentation by Roger Shepherd, a photographer from New Zealand, on the Baekdu-daegan mountain range on Jan. 14 in Seoul.
Shepherd was one of the few people who has traveled both the South Korean and the North Korean lengths of the Baekdu-daegan, which runs along the entire Korean Peninsula.
He took pictures of the mountains he climbed during his journey, which he later published in a book.
The presentation will discuss how the Baekdu-daegan might be shared by both Koreas as a national symbol to achieve a united identity.
Shepherd will lead discussions about obstacles that could hold up the attempt to establish the Baekdu-daegan as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The presentation will take place from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on the second floor of the Resident’s Lounge of Somerset Palace near Anguk Station, and is free for members. The cost for nonmembers is 7,000 won.
