2nd Visit

[Nira Sun]

This is my second time visiting the Korean Culture Center with the seminar. I sent some pictures of the center to one of my students who were very interested in Korean culture. What was interesting was that she said "Wow, I used to be really into those pop stars in Korea!" The word "used to" caught my attention. It indicated how fast the generational change was in pop culture. A lot of famous stars in Asian countries became popular almost in one night. Suddenly everyone loves him/her to the point that he/she is on the front page of everything every single day. Sometimes it was just one song or one movie. If the star really has the skill of singing, dancing, or acting, his/her success may last longer. If not, it will just be the flash in the pan. He/she will no longer be the talk of public anymore. I'm curious to know how many boy or girl bands ever existed in Korea.

I also passed on the information of them offering Korean Language class to my students as well. I didn't know about it last time I visited this place.
