s expression of the Korean sensibility.</span></h1></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="m_6380974612004369082block_pggnawwy" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:1.5"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding:3px;background-color:transparent"><div class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-content-block"><h1 style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:26px;line-height:inherit;font-kerning:inherit;font-feature-settings:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial Black","Avant Garde",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(35,35,35)"><strong>Speaker</strong></span></h1></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="m_6380974612004369082block_cyhqovif" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding:10px 20px 0px;background-color:transparent"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="text-align:center;padding:18px 166px"><img alt="" border="0" height="404" src="https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20230606/98/c8/bc/dd/225c7638fb7b9d61175fa2de_536x808.jpg" width="268" style="display: block;"></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="m_6380974612004369082block_sjmfapim" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:1.5"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding:10px 20px 0px;background-color:transparent"><div class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-content-block"><div class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-p-div" style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(51,51,51);margin-bottom:10px;line-height:1.5;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Byungmo Chung</strong> is an art historian specializing in Korean folk and genre paintings. He previously served as a Professor at Gyeongju University, a Visiting Scholar at Rutgers University, and as the President of the Association of Korean Folk Painting. He is the Head Director of The School of Minhwa. Noteworthy among his accomplishments is his organization of the Joseon Dynasty Chaekgeori exhibitions in 2016, hosted at prestigious institutions such as the Charles B. Wang Center in New York, the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. From 2022 to 2023.  He also curated Chaekgeori exhibitions in Europe, showcasing works by contemporary folk artists at esteemed venues, including the Nantes Korean Spring Festival in France, the Korean Cultural Center in France, the Korean Cultural Center in Spain, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. Chung has authored numerous articles and books on Korean folk and genre paintings, notably including <em>"Chaesaekhwa: Polychrome Paintings of Korea."</em></span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="m_6380974612004369082block_kljisohn" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:1.5"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding:1px;background-color:transparent"><div class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-content-block"><h1 style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:inherit;font-size:26px;line-height:inherit;font-kerning:inherit;font-feature-settings:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial Black","Avant Garde",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(35,35,35)"><strong>Moderator</strong></span></h1></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="m_6380974612004369082block_oanbohht" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="m_6380974612004369082e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding:10px 20px 0px;background-color:transparent"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" ce
