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
Today feels like a Disney Day. So let’s kill the two proverbial birds with one stone. Let’s listen to Disney tunes in Korean. Happy Hump Day.
I Won’t Say I’m In Love from the Disney’s Hercules

If you want a quick intro to Korean culture and name brands and everything… watch this video. I can’t stop watching it. If you’re coming to Korea, familiarize yourself with everything in this song, thought it doesn’t really matter ‘cause you’ll figure it all out when you get here anyway.
Reblogged on my personal tumblr, but it bears repeating here. If you ever get the chance to live in Korea, you should familiarize yourself with the topics of this video because it’s all kinda true.
