A compilation of Korean newspaper coverage on Shin Jang-sik's 〈Arirang-Happy Day V〉, the Grand Prize winner of the printmaking division at the 8th Korea National Art Exhibition (1989). The Chosun Ilbo featured all four grand-prize-winning works (Western painting, Korean painting, sculpture, printmaking) on a single page under the heading 'Grand Prize Works on Paper'; three other newspapers center on the artist's interview, addressing his role as Assistant Art Director for the 1988 Seoul Olympics opening/closing ceremonies, the iconography of the cheongsachorong lantern, and his vision of Arirang as a 'symbol of resilience and hope, not lament.'
