The Shocking Truth Behind Seoul's Prestigious Art School Campus (K-ARTS)
One of Korea’s most prestigious art schools, K-Arts, moved its campus to Seokgwan-dong in Seongbuk-gu, but the buildings they moved into were once part of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA). From dictatorship-era intelligence facilities to damaged royal tomb grounds and even a surprising connection to North Korea, this campus has a history unlike any other in Seoul. My German friend Anna, a K-Arts alumna, shows me around, while historian Jihoon helps uncover the darker side of this fascinating place. Check out the video! 한국에서 가장 권위 있는 예술학교 중 하나인 한예종은 성북구 석관동으로 캠퍼스를 옮겼지만, 이곳의 건물들은 과거 중앙정보부(KCIA) 시설이었습니다. 독재 시절의 정보기관 시설부터 훼손된 왕릉 부지, 그리고 북한과의 뜻밖의 연결까지, 이 캠퍼스는 서울에서도 보기 드문 독특한 역사를 지니고 있습니다. 한예종 졸업생인 독일인 친구 안나가 캠퍼스를 안내해주고, 역사학자 지훈이 이 흥미로운 장소의 어두운 이면을 함께 밝혀줍니다. 영상에서 확인해보세요!
