I truly enjoyed learning about Korean drama and KPop. This reminded me so much of my childhood. Growing up in a Latino family in the 90’s, I can completely relate to the boyband and drama shows. I think it would be really interesting to have students compare the Korean and American boybands or the Korean and Latino Dramas during my critical media literacy lessons. I think this would spark a lot of conversation about similarities and differences between both, and we could also have critical discussions about plastic surgery, gender roles, gender stereotypes, entertainment themes, expectations of beauty, social status, and much more. I also think that my students would find these very entertaining and interesting to discuss, especially as an entry point for discussing Korean culture.
