Dr. Lee Min-jung (DLM): Thank you for having me! ‘TV Show Genuine Luxury’ is designed to uncover hidden cultural treasures within private collections across Korea. It not only highlights the aesthetic and historical significance of these items but also raises awareness about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
TNE: It sounds like an important initiative! In the latest episode, a unique folding chair, Joochilgyoui, was showcased. Can you explain the significance of this item?
DLM: Absolutely! The Joochilgyoui is a portable folding chair traditionally used in the royal court. Its red lacquer and intricate designs symbolize status and elegance. Beyond its beauty, this chair carries historical weight, as it reflects the craftsmanship and artistry of a bygone era. Items like this serve as tangible connections to our past.
TNE: The chair certainly sounds captivating! The show features both comedians and professional appraisers. How do you think this blend affects the appreciation of cultural artifacts?

When individuals see items that remind them of their heritage or childhood, it can evoke a deep sense of identity and belonging. This emotional resonance often motivates people to engage more actively in preservation efforts.

If they see valuable cultural items celebrated on screen, it cultivates an appreciation that can lead to advocacy for preservation in their communities. It’s all about making cultural heritage relevant to their lives.
