In the fall of 1976, PBS aired Korean Variety Hour, a series produced by the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS). This cultural export showcased Korea's cutting-edge production capabilities, featuring full-color visuals, refined camerawork, and vibrant graphics. The film The Korean Variety Hour utilizes archival footage from KBS to bridge the 1976 series Korean Variety Hour with the 21st-century Modern Korea project, subtly hinting at the latter's motivations. While Korean Variety Hour explored national identity by asking, "What is Korea, and who are Koreans?," the existential question "Who am I?" resurfaces 40 years later in the Modern Korea archival project. The focus of The Korean Variety Hour shifts to identifying "Who are Koreans?" through a negative approach by defining "Who are not Koreans?" This method brings to light entities marginalized in modern Korean history, such as "anti-communists," "anti-Japanese," "women," and "Jeolla Province." These themes, explored across four seasons of Modern Korea since 2019, interweave the two constellations of Korean Variety Hour and Modern Korea. This work was specially produced for the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival's special program, Modern Korea Cinema.
