Korean Stereotypes

I asked a group of nine students what they want to say to the rest of the world about South Korea, or more generally, about Asia. They address a variety of topics, such as being good at math, being asked if they are Japanese or Chinese, and also cosmetic surgery.

I’ve been helping these students prepare for their journey abroad to the USA this winter, and we thought making a video would be a great way to make a memory of the time that we’ve spent together comparing cultures, thoughts, and opinions. I’m really proud of what these students have achieved already, and I know they will all be wonderful broad-minded teachers in the future.

I was inspired to make this film after watching Lena Khan’s video “A Land Called Paradise”.

Please feel free to comment, ask questions, and leave your opinions.

The song is “Traveler” by Korean indie musician Soul Park. Download Soul Park’s latest album here: http://itunes.apple.com/jp/artist/soul-park/id465895058?l=en
