Kim keeps hanbok traditional but trendy

The Shilla Seoul hotel has something new at its arcade. But it isn’t western-style haute-couture or designer labels that catch the eye. What grabs your attention are the four big Chinese characters in vermeil red ― Jeon Tong Han Bok ― meaning traditional hanbok boutique.

The shop is run by Kim Young-seok. His bold signature transformation of conventional hanbok is what lures in the visitors.

Unlike exultant designers who have worked industriously for decades, it only took 10 years for Kim to reach the top of his profession. 

He is one of the best known traditional hanbok couturiers, tailoring for the nation’s President, the first lady, and top celebrities. But he is also well respected by industry artisans ― something unusual for such a suddenly successful designer. 

It is his staunch philosophy of hanbok design that makes him respected by so many. For Kim, the two words “tradition” and “modernity” are not contradictory or mutually exclusive. 

He is not afraid of blending his fabric with pastel colors, nor adorning it with European-styled Swarovski jewelry. He pursues constant innovation in hanbok styling, but refrains from violating traditions.

Looting hits Tunisia as new leader sworn in

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) _ Looting, deadly prison riots and street chaos engulfed Tunisia on Saturday, the day after mass protests forced its strongman to flee. A new interim president was sworn in, promising to create a unity government that could include the long-ignored opposition.

It was the second change of power in this North African nation in  less than 24 hours.

Amid the political instability, looters emptied shops and torched the main train station in Tunis, soldiers traded fire with assailants in front of the Interior Ministry, and thousands of European tourists sought a plane flight home.
 

Destroyer approaching hijacked vessel

A 4,500-ton South Korean destroyer was proceeding toward a Korean commercial vessel apparently hijacked by the Somali pirates Sunday, as the Seoul government remained firm against holding direct negotiations or paying ransom for the 21 crew members.

The 11,500-ton Samho Jewelry freighter, carrying eight South Koreans, is believed to have been seized Saturday in the waters between Oman and India while en route to Sri Lanka from the United Arab Emirates.

The vessel, belonging to Samho Shipping Co., was also carrying two Indonesians and 11 others from Myanmar, all of whom have been confirmed safe, Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said.

After being briefed about the situation, President Lee Myung-bak called on his government to “make the utmost effort in having the crew return home safely,” presidential secretary Hong Sang-pyo told reporters. 

Having confirmed the location and the safety of the crew members, the Foreign Ministry here said it will “not get dragged into” the psychological warfare often launched by the Somali pirates. 

“We are working together with our Cheonghae Unit to locate the ship on a real time basis,” a ministry official said. “The government remains firm not to directly negotiate with the pirates or pay ransom.”

Task forces have been set up in the Foreign Ministry and the South Korean Embassy in Kenya to tackle the kidnapping. 

South Korea’s 4,500-ton destroyer Choi Young, which belongs to the Cheonghae Unit, was moving toward the hijacked freighter and is expected to reach it in two days, according to other government sources here. 

The Cheonghae Unit, with some 300 troops and a destroyer, has been in charge of patrolling the pirate-infested waters off Somalia, since its deployment in early 2009 under a U.S.-led multinational campaign. 

The Samho shipping firm, based in the southern port city of Busan, had seen another of its vessels, Samho Dream, released in November after being held hostage by Somali pirates for more than 200 days. Although it has not officially revealed the exact ransom, the company is said to have paid some $9 million to have the 300,000-ton tanker released.

The recent hijacking comes as two South Koreans continue to be held captive by Somali pirates after their 241-ton ship Geummi 305 was kidnapped in October in the waters off Kenya’s Lamu Island.
