  • Until the Azalea Blooms (Korean: 진달래꽃 필 때까지; RR: Jindallaekkot Pil Ttaekkaji) is a South Korean miniseries starring Yum Jung-ah and Yoo Tae-woong. It aired on KBS2 from January 5 to January 27, 1998. Based on the 1996 essay by Mansudae ballerina Shin Young-hee Until the Rhododendron Blooms, which portrays North Korean society during Kim Il-sung's regime, the show dramatizes her life in the north of the peninsula, the public execution of Woo In-hee, a mistress of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, which she personally witnessed, and her defection to South Korea. One of its three writers, Jung Sung-san, was also a defector from North Korea, and the series was his first work in South Korea. The first two episodes achieved a viewership rating of 16–21%, but the series was criticized for being overly sensational, ridiculing North Korea and distorting the original work. The author herself, in early October 1997, tried to stop the show from airing, filing an injunction against KBS for copyright infringement and asking for a halt of the production of the drama. On January 5, 1998, the same day the series began airing, the Seoul Central District Court rejected the injunction, saying "There is no reason". Until the Azalea Blooms, remembered nowadays as one of the first entertainment programs that portrays North Korea without propaganda purposes, was negatively received by North Korea, which threatened to kill the staff and bomb KBS headquarters if the channel aired it, as the drama deals with corruption in the North; on the other hand, KBS listeners in North Korea sent letters to encourage the producers to expose "the atrocities of dictators". North Korea banned it too, but it has nevertheless circulated and people have been punished and executed for watching it. The series was extremely sensitive in North Korea, as it revealed the very existence of Kippumjo (pleasure group). (en)
  • 《진달래꽃 필 때까지》는 1998년 1월 5일부터 1998년 1월 27일까지 방영된 KBS 2TV 월화 드라마이다. 당초 전작 《완벽한 남자를 만나는 방법》의 조기 종영으로 인해 긴급 편성되어 1997년 12월 23일에 첫 회가 나갈 예정이었으나 급하게 편성하면 작품에 해가 될 수 있다는 판단으로 그 시간대에 특집 프로그램을 편성하였다. 이 때문에 1998년 1월 5일로 첫 방영일이 바뀌었으며, 마지막 날인 1월 26일에는 7~8회가 연속으로 방영되었다. 한편, 1995년 조선민주주의인민공화국(북한)에서 대한민국으로 귀순한 만수대 무용단원 신영희가 1996년에 출간한 수필 《진달래꽃 필 때까지》를 원작으로, 소위 '기쁨조'의 삶을 비롯한 북한의 사회 실상을 그렸으나, 원작과 달리 드라마의 내용이 자극적이고 희화화되었다는 이유로 원작자로부터 강한 항의를 받기도 하였다. 또한 극본을 담당한 정성산 역시 북한이탈주민 출신이다.
