Now in Kaesong city, there are many relics being preserved such as Manwoldae, which is the site of the royal palace of Koryo that was the first unified state in the history of our country; the Kaesong city walls; the Koryo Songgyungwan; and the mausoleum of King Kongmin. These valuable cultural relics are the pride of our nation and they are precious cultural relics that show the long history of our nation. Also these relics, some preserved for very long periods, are well known as relics with which we can stand proud in the eyes of the world.

STORYLINE
North Korea gained rare international approval Sunday with a new entry on a UN World Heritage list.
North Korea's bid to have the remains of a fortress that once surrounded Kaesong, the ancient capital of Korea's Koryo Dynasty, added to the list was approved during the 37th session of the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) World Heritage Committee (WHC) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
North Korea has campaigned for years to have this recognition.
The sites include one of the main gates of the ancient walls of the city, which is now at a crossroads near the centre of the modern city, as well as remains of the walls that run along hillsides outside the city today.
The announcement was greeted with a great cheer from the North Korean delegation, and spokesman Yong Phal Pak, described it as a source of great pride of (for) all Koreans.
Kim Jin Sok, a researcher at Kaesong City Management Office for Preserving National Heritage said these valuable cultural relics are the pride of our nation and they are precious cultural relics that show the long history of our nation.
He also added that these relics allowed North Koreans to stand proud in the eyes of the world.
The twelve sites added include the ruins of the Manwoldae palace and a 1,000-year old academy that was the premier school during that era.
The adoption of Kaesong as a World Heritage site means North Korea now has two sites on the list, after the tombs of the ancient Korean kingdom of Koguryo (37 BC-668 AD) were listed in 2004.
The UNESCO advisory panel - the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) - which lays the groundwork for World Heritage listings, wrote in its report on the Kaesong sites that the ensemble embodies the political, cultural, and philosophical and spiritual values of the capital of the unified Koryo state as it transitioned from Buddhist to Confucian philosophy.
Kaesong, located just north of the border with South Korea, was the capital of the kingdom that ruled Korea from 918 to 1392.
It is also the location for a factory park run jointly by the two Koreas until tensions forced its closure in April.

STORYLINE
There was no outward sign of tension on the North Korean side of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) on Tuesday, despite North's recent threats of an imminent attack.
At Panmunjom inside the DMZ, South and North Korean soldiers inside the buffer zone's Joint Security Area were carrying out their daily routine.
North Korea has been threatening to attack the US and South Korea over recent military drills and sanctions imposed as punishment for its third nuclear test in February.
Pyongyang calls the annual drills a rehearsal for invasion.
South Korean officials have said the North is poised to test-fire a medium-range missile capable of reaching the American territory of Guam.
North Korea meanwhile, has called for the withdrawal of United Nations sanctions and the end of US-South Korea military drills as preconditions for the resumption of talks.
The statement from the Policy Department of the National Defence Commission, the country's top governing body, came four days after Pyongyang rejected Seoul's latest dialogue offer as insincere.
The US says it is prepared to talk to the North but Pyongyang must first bring down tensions and honour previous disarmament agreements.
The North's statement says dialogue can never go with war actions and demanded that the US withdraw all nuclear weapons assets from South Korea and the region before the talks can resume.
We can never accept North Korea's stance when they say that denuclearisation cannot be a topic of discussion, but a nuclear disarmament discussion is possible, Cho Tai-young, South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday.
Speaking to the media during a news conference in Seoul, Cho said Seoul was hoping that China's relationship with the North might decrease the tensions in the Korean peninsula.

Keasong joint industrial park reopens
The DPRK and South Korea have reopened the jointly-run Keasong Industrial Park that was shut down more than five months ago. According to agreements reached last Wednesday, the two sides fully reopened the joint factory park in the DPRK's border town of Kaesong on a trial basis. Agreements also include issues like compensation to South Korean companies operating within the park. Agreeing on the date to reopen the zone was reached following a marathon negotiation session that went through the night. The two sides have also agreed on safeguards to prevent further stoppages.
Flurry of talks lie ahead for two Koreas after Panmunjom Declaration
판문점 선언으로 물꼬튼 남북관계... 앞으로 고위급•적십자•군사회담 줄줄이
And the month of May will see discussions continue between South and North Korea, following up on specific actions mentioned in the Panmunjom Declaration.
The unification ministry in Seoul says there will be talks on setting up an inter-Korean liaison office where the two sides can work together more closely.
There will be talks between the two sides' Red Cross organization on a reunion for separated families.
Plus military talks on reducing tensions.
Oh Jung-hee has this report. The two Koreas are expected to hold a flurry of talks over a wide range of subjects in May.
That... as South and North Korea stipulated some specific action plans in the Panmunjom Declaration on Friday -- which include opening up a joint liaison office, holding reunions of separated families and holding general-level military talks.
First up are the high-level talks, to be held as soon as possible,... to discuss the specifics of opening a joint liaison office with Pyongyang in the North Korean city of Kaesong.
South and North Korean officials will be working in the same building,... which will enable quick face-to-face meetings.
If high-level discussions go smoothly,... the liaison office could even be opened by June,... possibly leading to moves toward reopening the inter-Korean Kaesong Industrial Complex.
Holding Red Cross talks with North Korea is another top priority... with the reunion of separated families scheduled to be held around August 15th.
The authorities hope to hold Red Cross talks as soon as possible... because preparing for the family reunions takes two or three months due to the application and identification processes.
Marking the start of (quote)frequent meetings between military authorities will be the general-level military talks that will be held in May.
They will focus on 'creating a 'peace zone' along parts of the inter-Korean land and maritime border to prevent accidental military clashes.
Dialogue in areas of the economy and sports seem inevitable as well.
Seoul and Pyongyang have agreed to connect and modernize rail and road connections between the two... and to jointly participate in international sports events.
And the first such event will be the 2018 Asian Games,... coming up in August.

Industry Insight: Korea′s fashion hub Dongdaemun Fashion Town
인더스트리 한국의 동대문 패션
Now we are going to take a look at the largest fashion hub in Korea, Seoul′s iconic Dongdaemun Fashion Town,... which is visited by millions of tourists and local shoppers every year.
Park Ji-won has this week′s Industry Insight.
You can′t talk about Korea′s fashion industry without mentioning the Dongdaemun fashion market.
Dongdaemun Fashion Town is the largest clothing market in Korea,... and about one-third of all Korea′s clothing distributors are based near the region.
From textiles and clothing subsidiary materials... to sewing factories and wholesale and retail shops,... if it has to do with clothing and fashion, you′ll find it here.
A designer′s idea can be made into a final product... in just a day.
Let′s take a look.
This is Dongdaemun Fashion Town, the location of more than 30 fashion malls and tens of thousands of small clothing shops.
It′s really amazing all the district, and all the fashion is really nice.
I sometimes see items with unique designs that I cannot find at brand name or department stores.
Retail shops are open from midnight or 2 a.m. and wholesale shops open from 8 p.m. to the next morning, meaning the market operates 24 hours-a-day.
What′s peculiar to the district is that it′s like a complete fashion ecosystem, where everything about fashion is clustered together.
Thousands of fabric and clothing subsidiary shops, and more than 20-thousand small sewing factories are all nearby.
Designers can turn their ideas into clothes in just a day by making a sample, and once the design is confirmed, mass production can start after another day or two.
With Dongdaemun′s fast yet sophisticated designs gaining global recognition, many orders now come from abroad.
Now we get many orders for samples from China, as Chinese buyers visit Dongdaemun often.
The Dongdaemun district makes more money from exports than domestic sales, especially in the wholesale market.
Roughly 60 percent of the town′s annual revenue comes from exports. International buyers are mostly from China, Taiwan and Japan.
The fashion town also serves as a testbed for many up-and-coming designers.
This is a hip fashion mecca where you can make and sell clothes. The region helps with my market research and market sourcing.
Some designers have successfully grown from single shops into fashion empires.
This modern brand began from a shop in Dongdaemun,... but has expanded to include dozens of shops in China.
Codes Combine started as a shop in Dongdaemun in 2002. Now we have many products in many categories, particularly menswear, underwear and a kids′ clothing line.
Fashion Group Hyungji,... which has the number-one market share in women′s clothes as a domestic company,.. also started as a humble shop in Dongdaemun market in the early 1980s.
The founder of the group still emphasizes the so-called Dongdaemun spirit,... which is characterized by designs that ar

KOREAN MUST VISIT
The Joseon dynasty (also transcribed as Chosŏn or Chosun; officially the Kingdom of Great Joseon) was a Korean dynastic kingdom that lasted for approximately five centuries. It was founded by Yi Seonggye in July 1392 and was replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897.[5] It was founded following the aftermath of the overthrow of Goryeo in what is today the city of Kaesong. Early on, Korea was retitled and the capital was relocated to modern-day Seoul. The kingdom's northernmost borders were expanded to the natural boundaries at the rivers of Amnok and Tuman through the subjugation of the Jurchens. Joseon was the last dynasty of Korea and its longest-ruling Confucian dynasty.

South Korea Grow Bored of Threats from the North
Walking among the ranks of cherry trees in Seoul, one could be forgiven for hoping that their blossoming buds heralded not only the end of the cold Korean winter, but also a thaw in the icy relationship between the peninsula's bitter neighbours.
Unfortunately, as world news outlets are pointing out on a daily basis, the political climate only seems to be getting colder.
However, the cherry trees, fluttering in the spring breeze, do possess a more accurate symbology; a calm and unconcerned resignation to the world unfolding around them.
Even the South Korean media, keen for any opportunity to dramatise a situation, has remained remarkably subdued, with domestic politics and celebrity news receiving a greater share of airtime.
The unfolding situation is viewed more with a sense of incredulity than alarm. Business continues as normal.
Trains and buses remain as crammed as ever with commuters jostling to get to work, department stores bustle with their usual throng of shoppers, columns of keen hikers are still found enthusiastically slogging their way up the capital's mountains and students still pour through the gates of their schools and universities.
On the streets of the capital there is no sign of extra security, and the skies remain empty of everything but the occasional helicopter.
The suspension of the Kaesong Industrial Complex has perhaps caused the most surprise, with many South Koreans believing that everything would be fine as long as it remained open.
Its closure, even if only temporary, is a highly illogical move for a regime that desperately needs the currency it generates, and is likely to prove more concerning to the citizens of the South who remember only too well the unpredictability of North Korea's strikes in 2010.
Indeed, as the rhetoric drags on, the conversation does occasionally turn to the latest threats, and hushed whispers of what if?, but any worry is often quickly replaced with sad tales of the hardships of life north of the demilitarised zone.
Whereas the older generation lament the division of their nation, the South's younger generation are indifferent, if not hostile to the idea of reunification, aware that as the years pass the 4km heavily-mined strip that divides them from their northern neighbours will be easy to cross compared to the yawning economic gulf that has opened up.
There is a sense South Korea is like the unwilling partner of an arranged marriage; its destiny tied to its northern spouse when in truth it would rather get on with its life alone.
This is the reality in South Korea.
People have simply become too accustomed to the continual bluster of their northern neighbour, and the situation for now at least, has a strange mix of inevitability and irrelevance about it.
The country goes on unfazed in the hope that it will all subside again for another day.
But given the choice, I'm sure many in the South would happily choose a swift and peaceful end to a situation where the two countries are technically at war.
While the destinies of the two countries are tied together, many people in the South would rather just forget about their nuisance neighbour and get on with their lives.
