In this month’s Newsletter, we will be exploring India and Korea relations.
Many Indians already know about the legend of Indian Princess Suriratna of Ayodhya  who married Korean King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya. They stand as a symbol of love between India and Korea. However, this legend is thousands of years old and hasn’t been proven yet.  
So today let’s have a look at some of the real-life swoon-worthy love stories of InKo couples who overcame barriers to be with one another.
 

My love from Korea – Jongsoo Lee & Neha Arora

Korindian Diaries

This Indo-Korean couple has a hilarious “first-meet” story when they met at a common friend’s birthday party. The couple lives in Japan right now and also have 2 cute baby girls.

When we talk about korea we have to talk about K DRAMA, K FOOD and K POP. Here are some of the artists who have tried to bridge the gap between Korea and India with  their talents.

Shreya Lenka

Squid Games – Everyone must have heard about Anupam Tripathi. Anupam Tripathi’s portrayal of Ali in Squid games was the most talked about not just in India but all over the world. His role was a major breakthrough in the K drama industry by any foreigner.

Armaan Malik, Eric Nam, KSHMR

ECHO – In 2021 the song marked the first collaboration of Armaan with Korean American artist Eric Nam. The song is about the feeling of indecision in a relationship that pushes partners over the edge. The song perfectly acts as a bridge between Mumbai, Seoul, and Los Angeles. The love from both the countries can be seen in the number of views the song has garnered so far.

Abhishek Gupta aka Lucky

Abhishek Gupta more famously known as Lucky, is an Indian who lives and performs in South Korea as a television personality and actor. But he is much more than that. He has been living in Korea for more than 25 years now and has his own business and an Indian restaurant he runs where once in a while Korean celebrities visit.

If you are low or need a pause in your everyday life, put on your headphones and listen as these songs embrace you.

Check out our playlist on Spotify!

Right off the bat, My Pace returns Stray Kids to rock territory. A gritty guitar riff and rollicking vocal hook kick off the track. The delivery here feels a little cheesy, but promises better things down the road.

Song: My Pace
Singer: Stray Kids

”There s no need to rush, my pace
Don't compare yourself with others
It's okay to run slower
Just follow my lane, my lane
Take it easy
Just look ahead and run”

The song takes a rootsy pop approach, back-dropping Subin’s performance with a choir of voices that lend Dive a touch of southern rock flair. Given K-pop’s hip-hop inclinations, this isn’t a sound you hear often   or at all. That makes Dive quite refreshing. It’s also a perfect match for DALsooobin, whose soaring vocals feel emotive in a totally organic way.

Song: Dive
Singer: DALSooobin

 

”I donor want to be a disappearing person If I were to disappear
only in your Memories Even though the time has been passing
Slowly It was just love that is in my heart”

The song is all about missing an old friend who you ve frown apart from and exploring the feelings that come with the reality that you re walking different paths in life. You can listen to the emotional track featuring Kim Jong Wan of NELL below.


Song: Dear My friend
Singer: August D (Ft. Kim Jong
  

 


 

 

 

’To this day I still
Miss and miss you To this day lip still
Encircled by the memories of us together Had I caught you that day

No, had I stopped you that day To this day would we
Still be friends? How would it be?”

TABLO (타블로) - TOMORROW ft. TAEYANG of BIGBANG [Official MV]

This song is telling us not to take for granted our loved ones, because once they are gone there will be no tomorrow for us.
We have to be active in our relationships to make sure we live and love — it isn’t guaranteed just because we have it.

Song: Tommorow
Singer: Tablo (Ft. Taeyang)
 

”Receiving love doesn’t mean you have it
Covering time doesn’t mean it passes
Breathing doesn’t mean you live Doesn’t mean”

Historic Ties between India and Korea (India Contribution - 25 June Korean War Memorial)

Did you know there is a Korean War memorial in Delhi which was inaugurated on May 26, 2021 named 'Indo-Korea Friendship Park' which exhibits the contribution of the Indian Army during the Korean War?
 
25 June is commemorated as Korean War Memorial day. Korean War, the conflict between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and People’s Republic of Korea (South Korea), broke out in June 1950 in which millions lost their lives. During this time of war, India supported the UN Security Council Resolutions and deployed a medical troop “60 Para Field Ambulance” that provided medical support to those injured in the war. The troop commanded by Lieutenant Colonel AG Rangaraj was attached to the 27th Commonwealth Brigade in Korea. It had four combat surgeons, two anesthesiologists, and one dentist with 346 men that helped South Koreans with medical aid. The troop totaled 627 and was the largest troop of its kind during the Korean War.

The 60 Para Field Ambulance provided assistance to an estimated 2.2 lakh wounded during the war and performed 2,324 field surgeries. The troop was further divided into smaller support units like Daegu Station and Uijeongbu. Among the 627 medical aid workers dispatched, a total of 10 members of the unit were injured and 2 lost their lives.
 
As fighting subsided in 1953, India sent 5230 soldiers to form the Custodian Force India (CFI) which was tasked with looking after prisoners of war (POWs) and resolving the issue of their repatriation. As a Permanent Representative to the United Nations India played a critical role in brokering peace process with ‘Korean Armistice Agreement’ which was signed on July 27, 1953.
