European Cities Reimagined By Park Sungchang on Nov 02 2014 00:03:12 Vol.18 Winter 2012 Works set in the so-called old world of Europe bring not only a modern perspective to the Korean characters that find themselves in cities such as Berlin, London, and Paris, but also a fresh perspective on the lives they left behind in Korea. The 1990s saw great advances in Korean political democracy. The collective demand for political democracy was mostly satisfied in this period that came at the end of half a century of political unrest and military dictatorship. Outside of Korea, the dissolution of socialism in the Eastern Bloc in the late 1980s caused many Koreans to lose faith in or abandon their political ideals. This change in the political environment, consequently, greatly affected the daily lives of the Korean people. The 1988 Olympic Games marked the shift of Korean society into a highly consumerist one. People spent more money, in more spaces, and in different settings than before. It became more common to do business overseas, as well as to travel abroad for pleasure.
