Join conference chair Michael Free as we offer a chance to view some classic Korean films. These are all available free of charge via the Korean Film Archive's YouTube channel. After some brief introductory remarks, you can sit back and relax after a hard day of conferencing and watch a Korean classic.

Sopyonje is a 1993 musical drama. It was directed by Im Kwon-taek, and tells us of a family of traditional musicians trying to make a living.

KOTESOL IC 2021 Conference Chair
I love languages, teaching, and helping people learn. It's messy and occasionally frustrating, but that's part of what makes it great! I teach in a small university in Korea, about an hour east of Seoul. Oh, and I'm this year's Conference Chair, which turned out to be, well, not exactly what I had planned — thanks, Corona! Feel free to message me, and just call me Michael!
