LadyKimchii Project
On February 9, 2020, Korean cinema was immortalized in history. “Parasite,” a film that had already generated buzz and garnered awards at various festivals, was crowned that night by receiving four Oscars, including Best Picture. This triumph was not only a milestone for Bong Joon-ho and his team, but also opened the doors of Korean cinema to the world stage in spectacular fashion.
The “Korean Wave,” which had already made its mark in other art forms, now reaffirmed its presence with cinema, elevating it to a category of global interest and leaving behind the idea that it was an exclusive niche for amateurs. Korean cinema thus captured the attention of a much wider audience.
A few days later, in March 2020, while the world was finding solace in the face of the pandemic by making sourdough and taking virtual Zumba classes, I found myself passionately exploring Korean culture, immersing myself in its cinema and series for months. This deep immersion was the germ of the LadyKimchii project, which started as an Instagram account and eventually evolved into a YouTube channel.
What started as a way to share my hobby with others, naturally transformed into audiovisual content, a medium in which I feel especially comfortable and able to express myself for hours. It was thanks to the interaction with my community that the ideas to offer specialized courses and workshops were born. The first workshop, “Approach to Korean Cinema”, followed by the “Script and Creativity” workshop, marked the beginning of an educational adventure that has brought together more than 150 Spanish-speaking students, thus consolidating my LadyKimchii project as a reference in the dissemination and teaching of Korean cinema in Spanish.
