The final film we we screen this year is based on another Korean folk tale, Hong Gil Dong. This story tells of the rise of the lowborn Gil Dong, who intelligence, skills, and temperament liken him to another folk hero, Robin Hood. It has been touted as "arguably the single most important work of classic Korean fiction. It has been seen in print, movies, TV shows, novels, and comic books. This cartoon version is excitement for the whole family!

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!
