(Dangjin=International News) Reporter Choi Byung-min = Season 2 of the humanities lecture series "Kim Dae-gon Class," held by Dangjin City, Chungnam, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Father Kim Dae-gon, concluded on the 18th to great acclaim.
To make up for the shortcomings of "Kim Dae-gon Class" Season 1, held from the 20th to 23rd of last month at the city hall auditorium with instructors including Choi Tae-seong and Seo Kyoung-duk, the city planned a second humanities lecture series linked to a wider range of fields.
It live-streamed "Kim Dae-gon Class" Season 2 lectures over two days, the 17th and 18th, via the YouTube "Kim Dae-gon Priest Channel."
On the first day, the 17th, Korean painter Kim Hyun Jung performed a drawing of a portrait of Father Kim Dae-gon under the theme "Catholicism Seen Through Religious Painting," presenting a fresh contrast to existing portraits of Father Kim Dae-gon.
On the 18th, calligrapher Lee Jung-hwa presented a calligraphy performance of Father Kim Dae-gon's sayings under the theme "Unchanging Yet Changing," elevating the feel of the previously created "Solmoe Kim Dae-gon" font into a rich visual spectacle.
Jang Chang-sun, head of the Culture and Sports Event Planning Team, said, "From the planning stage, the 200th anniversary commemorative events for Father Kim Dae-gon were designed to go beyond religion, so that people across various strata could resonate with them as a humanities and cultural arts event," adding, "We will continue to link various subjects related to Father Kim Dae-gon after the event to maximize the value of this figure."
Meanwhile, on Sunday the 22nd, the final day of the 200th anniversary commemorative events for Father Kim Dae-gon, humanities YouTuber "Lime Yang" will give an online lecture on the theme "Father Kim Dae-gon, Who Proclaimed 150 Years Ago That Dokdo Is Korean Territory."
