‘Approval of Permanent Return of Ownership of Oegyujanggak Uigwe by President Bolande’
[Uigwe, a book that summarizes the events of the Joseon royal family in writing and pictures, was plundered by France during the Byeongin Yangyo in 1866, and returned to its homeland in April 2011 after 145 years.
However, it was not a complete return, and the condition was that the lease should be renewed every five years.
In fact, the ownership was held by the National Library of France, so it was impossible to display it independently, and it was impossible to designate it as a national treasure or treasure. In such a situation, France returns the ownership of the Oegyujanggak Uigwe in its entirety to Korea, and attention is paid to the reason…]
The first start was the complete return of Oegyujanggak Uigwe.
The reaction of public opinion to the sudden French return of ownership was an exclamation mark and a question mark at the same time.
B Thank you! Why all of a sudden?
ㄴ France can’t suddenly do that for no reason. Is it some kind of political connection?
I’ve seen too many movies
b It sure seems like there is something.
ㄴ Isn’t it because of Song Gyu-ha? Hey, he said he got a medal there too.
I don’t think that’s because there are political interests involved.
The real bomb that shook Korea exploded the next day.
‘[Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal] Including Jikjisimcheyojeol, Jeongri Uigwe, and Naju Junction. Decided to return about 3,000 Korean cultural assets owned by France
[A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade announced that negotiations on the return of about 3,000 major Korean cultural assets owned by France, including Jikjisimcheyojeol, had been dramatically concluded. This is the greatest diplomatic achievement since the establishment of the Korean government in 1948 […]
you ??? crazy?
Is it April Fool’s Day today?
Can’t it be that it’s June…?
Isn’t that fake news???
ㄴ Nono, articles are pouring in right now.
b Huh. I don’t know anything else, but Jikji will be returned to Korea? It’s also permanently returned!? this is a real bitch
ㄴ Was it so easy to return cultural assets?
b It’s never easy. If you get sued almost once, it takes about 10 years. Oegyujanggak was also returned after 20 years of negotiations.
ㄴ But if it’s a big deal, we’ve given something, but what the hell is going on?
ㄴ Anyway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing well!!! Kiya~ There was an agency that was working properly in the current government.
Korea was excited by the sudden announcement of big news.
However, praise for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued at the happy news that important cultural assets, which were thought to be difficult to return to the bosom of their home country, fell into a festive atmosphere.
France at the same time.
[Finding 18 records of Archbishop Aubert and a bronze statue of Michael made by Mont Saint Michel. To be exhibited at Saint-Michel Cathedral]
The existence of the records of Aubert and the bronze statue of Michael given by Kyu-ha at Aubert’s request were revealed for the first time through the media.
It was a very valuable relic historically and academically, but for the public, it was something worth reading and forgetting on the subway.
The real one exploded the next day.
‘Saint Jeanne d’Arc’s remains and relics experts confirmed authenticity’
[A rib, believed to have been left behind by the saintess Joan of Arc, who saved France from danger in the Hundred Years War, a piece of the flag she carried, and a ring were found.
At a press conference, the research team led by forensic scientist Dr. Batender extracted genetic information through mitochondrial DNA testing as a result of the test, and as a result of biochemical investigations and molecular structure tracking, the final judgment was made that Joan of Arc’s remains were correct. The artifacts found together also turned out to be genuine, so Joan of Arc’s remains were undoubtedly ‘real’.]
***
Joan of Arc’s remains and belongings discovered after 430 years of twists and turns.
This made all of France, which was scarred by the Paris terror incident, filled with joy.
At the request of the Archdiocese of France, it was decided to enshrine the relics of Joan of Arc in Toulouse Cathedral.
Small conference room in the Stellar Entertainment office building.
Han Jeong-hee, who put down the morning newspaper she was reading, let out a faint exclamation.
“Yeah. Negotiations were concluded right away, so after that, it’s been very quick.”
At that, Kyu-ha answered while taking a sip of the cold green tea Han Jeong-hee had prepared for her.
“Because it was a ‘transaction’ between the two countries that both countries were satisfied with. No matter how much Korean cultural assets I had were precious, I would have only done my own.”
“but. It’s not a common relic, but each one is a treasure-level cultural property, so it’s natural.”
Team leader Han Jeong-hee glanced at Kyu-ha once.
“But is Kyu-ha okay?”
“Well? What?”
“All of those cultural assets were discovered by Kyuha. I mean, it would have been worth it to have made tens of billions if I just handed it over to the auction house.”
At Han Jeong-hee’s words, Kyu-ha smiled lightly.
“Not at all. As my sister has said, money doesn’t mean much to me anymore. Rather, it was enough to bring back our cultural heritage. Why… do you look at it like that…?”
Han Jeong-hee looks at Kyu-ha with moved eyes.
In fact, Aubert’s relics found in Mont Saint Michel had been promised to him, so they had to go to Saint Michel Cathedral anyway, and Joan of Arc’s remains were done because Gyuha thought that he owed her personally.
“You think I met an actor really well? Hohoho Anyway, the filming went well, and I was patriotic, and I had a successful trip to France.”
“This trip to France… I personally had a lot going on. Did you have anything else to say to Secretary Son Mi-joo?”
“I got a call this morning. As the director of the ‘Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal’ project, he must be very busy. I was asking how far we had to reveal whether Kyu-ha donated or not?”
A project that would not have even been attempted without Kyu-ha for the negotiations on the Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal.
Son Mi-joo was asking how far to reveal such a donation of Gyu-ha.
“What do you think, chief?”
As for Kyu-ha, it did not matter whether it was revealed or hidden because it was done for personal self-interest.
“How to live on the popularity of the learning public! Of course, you have to live to the fullest. Moreover, Kyu-ha is about to release [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] soon. It will have a huge publicity effect.”
“Then the company, no, only the team leader will believe in that part. Please take care of yourself.”
Han Jeong-hee shook her head at the sight of Kyu-ha talking so calmly, as if asking for a cup of coffee.
“It’s a big deal because Gyuha has no greed. I’m just saying it now, but if I met the wrong company, it would have been a big deal.”
At Han Jeong-hee’s words, Kyu-ha just smiled.
Regarding his own things, he was more greedy than anyone else,
As much as that, he morbidly hated being harmed by ‘his own’.
If a vicious agency tried to make an unfair contract with Kyu-ha, that company would have suffered in one way or another.
Han Jung-hee, unaware of this fact, looked at Kyu-ha, who looked endlessly round, with worried eyes as if she were looking at an immature younger brother.
“I feel so comfortable because I have a strong team leader like my older sister. Could I have done this otherwise?”
The corners of Han Jeong-hee’s mouth twitched at the words of Kyu-ha who suddenly jumped in.
“Large. well that’s right It seems that Kyuha knows something well. Oh ho ho. Then, the problem only needs to be trusted by me, like my older sister, so don’t worry too much and have a good rest. Sooner or later, the teaser video of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] will be released on You Tube, so let’s meet again and talk.”
“all right. I drank green tea well.”
After Kyu-ha went back, Han Jeong-hee sat down humming a song.
Seeing that, Jung So-ra, the head of the PR team, asked.
“Do you think things went well? You look so excited, Manager Han.”
“Lulu~ Me? Is this tension normal? Hmm~ [The melody dancing with the waves] I need to revise the domestic marketing plan.”
Jeong So-ra tilted her head as she watched Han Jeong-hee return to her seat while taking such light steps.
“I was excited to see anyone…”

After the announcement of the Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal, it created a sensation.
There was also public opinion praising the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its unbelievable achievements.
In the daily world, it was said that a big deal gave something away, but a conspiracy theory arose that it might have resulted in huge national losses by giving away important interests.
As the conspiracy theory, which seemed like a small ember, started to burn thatch at some point, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was forced to make an official statement.
Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
A press conference related to the ‘Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal’ was scheduled here today.
As many reporters were expected to attend, more press seats were prepared than usual.
Behind the podium, a large Taegeukgi with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs mark was visible.
Eom Tae-shik, head of the European Bureau of the 2nd Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, smiled as he watched Son Mi-joo stare at the announcement while biting her nails, clearly nervous.
“Yeah. Son Mi-joo, an outcast, succeeded! To stand at such an important presentation that will go down in history. ha ha ha.”
“Oh~! Why are you doing that to the chief? I am very burdened. Whoa… I’m shaking to death.”
“Of course not burdened. Usually, with this amount of cases, it is normal for the vice-ministerial level to come out and make an announcement even if it is not at the ministerial level. I know this is an honor.”
“It’s an honor, but whoa… it’s a burden. I wonder if I’ve ever fallen like this in my life. ah! why are you doing this to me really!!”
“What can I do? The ‘Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal’ was in fact made possible by you, the only one out there. The French embassy also expressed their intention that they would like you to announce the conference. What the hell did you do to find only you that way?”
In fact, Kyu-ha’s request came from the French government, but there was no way to know the two people.
“I do not know? Gorgeous beauty eaten in France? A persuasive speech? A devilish charm that you can’t escape once you fall for it?”
“Tsk tsk, I’m worried that someone might not be a loner, so I got sick again. Anyway, make no mistake and do well. You know that if you make a mistake, even I will be chastised, right?”
“Oh, don’t burden me.”
Director Uhm Tae-sik raised his fist with a playful smile.
“Nope? Are you going to continue to burden me? If you make a mistake, you die.”
That’s what he said, but Director Um Tae-sik knew.
The fact that Son Mi-joo has a stronger heart than anyone else in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Even though I was so nervous, when I stood on the podium, I knew that I would do well as if I had never done that before.
The press conference has begun.
The seats were full, as if reporters from all over the country had arrived.
“hello. This is Mi-joo Son, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who will be in charge of announcing the official statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Korean-French Cultural Heritage Big Deal. Through this consultation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, major cultural assets including Jikjisimcheyojeol ………”
From the mouth of Son Mi-joo, a report on the achievements through the Korea-France Cultural Heritage Big Deal was announced.
However, since it was already announced through the media, it did not attract much interest from reporters.
All they were waiting for was a Q&A.
“I will take questions and answers.”
After that, fierce questions followed like a beast aiming for prey.
However, even in difficult questions, Son Mi-joo continued to answer well with her unique confidence and cleverness.
Then a reporter asked a question.
“I am Reporter Park Dae-se of the Korea Ilbo. The return of cultural property from France is definitely something to celebrate. However, like the name of this negotiation, if it is a big deal, our side also gave something, but about it, there is only content that it was exchanged with cultural assets corresponding to it according to the ‘Law of Equivalent Exchange’. However, as far as I know, among the cultural properties of other countries held in Korea, there is no cultural property comparable to Jikji.
male voice
It was something that hit the point.
In fact, if there was a cultural property coveted by France in Korea, it would have already appeared at the time of Oegyujanggak.
Son Mi-joo, who was biting her lips at that time, smiled meaningfully after checking the smart watch on her wrist.
“I apologize for not being able to explain clearly because the French side requested that the announcement regarding the details be delayed. Now I can make an announcement. The reason why this big deal was able to come true is that we discovered a cultural asset comparable to Jikji or other cultural assets, or even more remarkable for them.”
Reporter Park Dae-se, who couldn’t understand Son Mi-joo’s words at once, asked again.
“What is that cultural property, so that such an unprecedented return was achieved in such a short period of time?”
“These are 18 records of Archbishop Aubert, who built Mont Saint Michel, a bronze statue of Michael, the holy relic, and Joan of Arc’s remains and two relics. All of them were discovered by actor Song Kyu-ha in France and reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
“……?”
A cold silence descended on the conference room, which had been exuding heat.
