Korejska televizija Arirang TV (아리랑 TV) je posnela dokumentarni film o Almi M. Karlin (1889-1950), svetovni popotnici, pisateljici in zbirateljici slovenskega rodu, z naslovom Korea and Slovenia. Film je tretja epizoda serije Diplomat’s Archives: Hidden Stories, ki skupaj s tujimi veleposlaništvi v Koreji razkriva in osvetljuje pomembne, a manj znane zgodbe odnosov Koreje z drugimi državami.
Povzetek filma: Alma Karlin: The First Slovenian to Travel to Korea
On November 18, 1923, the Cillier Zeitung, a newspaper published in the Celje region of Slovenia, featured a story introducing “The Land of the Morning Calm.” At the center of this travel article was Slovenian explorer Alma Karlin. During her journey to Korea in 1923, Karlin collected photo postcards and various cultural artifacts, which she brought back to Europe and shared with the public—leaving a lasting impression. Her legacy continues to this day. We will revisit the early connections between Korea and Slovenia, forged by one pioneering traveler in the early 20th century.
