The 2012 Korean Blogathon is now over!
From 5th – 11th of March 2012 the second Korean Blogathon was overseen by cineAWESOME! (the first was hosted here on New Korean Cinema!) while all of the Blogathon links were mirrored on this page as well as on the KOFFIA, VCinema, Hangul Celluloid, Modern Korean Cinema, HanCinema and Far East Films websites.
New Korean Cinema and cineAWESOME would like to thank all of the sites who mirrored the links for this years events as well as – most importantly – all of the people who joined us in writing blog posts about a huge number of Korean films, themes, ideas and opinions. The aim of the event is to highlight the fantastic community, to showcase blogs and websites that you may not have seen before, and to put people in contact with each other. So many thanks to you all for making it another great year and we hope to see you all again in 2013!
