[K-Wave] UNESCO likely to list Korean "jang-making" culture as cultural heritage

장 담그기, 유네스코 인류무형문화유산 등재 유력 For Koreans, defining a meal without including doenjang -soybean paste, ganjang -soy sauce, or gochujang -red pepper paste is almost impossible. That's how big of a role they play in Korean dishes. And it's not just the sauces themselves, the entire process of 'jang-making' may soon receive more recognization, as it's likely to be added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage. Lee Eun-jin has the details. The long-standing food tradition of "jang-making" encompasses not only the fermented sauces themselves but also the entire process. "Jang-making" begins by carefully brushing the surface of the blocks of "meju", which is fermented soybean, that is left to set over winter. The cleaned "meju" is placed in traditional Korean earthenware jars called "hangari" then salt water is poured in. The ideal salt concentration of the water, enough to float a boiled egg, makes the "jang" taste its best. Finally, peppers are added, and red hot charcoals to remove any germs. Lunar New Year, which comes two months and 15 days after the winter hanging of the "meju" is the best time to start the jang-making process. "Hung to set for a month, another month for its outsides to dry, then another 15 days to wash and dry it again The "meju" makes doenjang that doesn't need preservatives, and brings out its natural flavors." Following on from the popularity of kimchi, the Korean culinary tradition of "jang" is capturing the taste buds of people around the world. The evaluation committee for the safeguarding of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage explained that Korean "jang" forms the basis of Korean eating habits, alongside rice and kimchi. They also highlighted that "jang-making" not only brings a sense of belonging and family identity, but it also contributes greatly to food security and sustainable agricultural development. "Jang-making" was designated a national intangible heritage in 2018. "The evaluation panel made public its recommendation for South Korea's 'jang-making culture' for inscription to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity today. After getting the recommendation, unless something happens, it is expected to be registered." The recommendation was made public at 8 AM on November 5th, which was midnight on November 5th local time in Paris. South Korea currently has 22 elements on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, starting from the first inscription of the royal ancestral ritual in the Jongmyo shrine and its music in 2001, to the talchum, mask dance drama, inscribed in 2022. The final decision for the listing of "jang-making" will be made between December 2nd and 7th, when the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage meets in Paraguay.
