Korean culture and arts, such as K-pop and K-movie, are attracting attention as tools of 'global mental healing' beyond simple contents.

Jeong Seong-min, a psychiatrist at H Plus Yangji Hospital, said, "The recently released movie "K-pop Demon Hunters" and the theme song "Golden" are considered representative examples of how movies and music restore human emotions and trauma."He made an interesting and remarkable analysis from the academic perspective of "'The symbols contained in Kedeheon are not just artistic elements, but deep metaphors that contain healing journeys.'"

Kedeheon' is a movie that reinterprets tigers (courage and recovery) and magpies (hope and luck) in traditional Korean myths with modern sensibilities and depicts human resilience that does not lose its light in adversity.




In particular, musician Lee Jae (EJAE), the real model of the main character Rumi in the movie, created 'Golden' contains her personal wounds and her journey to overcome. Lee Jae dreamed of becoming an idol singer and failed, then moved to the U.S. and healed himself with music. The warm melody and honest lyrics of 'Golden' symbolize the language of recovery that music has.

Music acts as a powerful neurological stimulus that controls human emotions. The left temporal lobe of the brain is responsible for the linguistic meaning of the lyrics, the right parietal lobe is responsible for pitch and emotional empathy, and the cerebellum is responsible for rhythm and motor response. In this way, multiple neural circuits are activated at the same time, resulting in emotional stability and stress relief effects.

Jeong Seong-min, a specialist, said, `Music is not just an auditory stimulus, it acts as a language of emotion"Kedeheon's theme song Golden, which is based on personal wounds, causes the listener 'emotional resonance', which can provide practical help in trauma healing.", he explained.




Meanwhile, a new concept psychiatric language newly analyzed and created by specialist Jung Sung-min, 'Global Mental Jockey (GMJ)' expands the emotional empathy of people around the world through real-time digital connection. Technological communication platforms such as iPhone-to-iPhone real-time broadcasting are used as networks for mental health recovery.

In addition, he emphasized that "the art of the digital age goes beyond the realm of mere appreciation, creating a 'mental interconnection'" and that when the techniques of empathy and expression are combined, a new form of 'global healing culture' is formed in which the individual's pain extends to social recovery." This project, which combines music, film, and technology, re-examine the nature of art's healing, with the linguistic value of human recovery.

"Art is the oldest psychotherapy tool to restore the human mind," Jeong said, adding that "it is time to comfort each other and heal together in the language of art in this era."
