In the Hallyu 2.0 reading, on page 36, there is a flow map that I find very interesting. I find this flow map interesting because it makes me think of the several students I had in the past two years who have been surprisingly interested in Korean culture. This past school year I had two students who were extremely well-versed in K-pop knowledge; one student knew nearly every single K-pop boy band, including their individual names! The flow map , to me, shows the importance of introducing diverse cultures to our students. It may not seem that important, but as the reading and chart shows, listening to K-pop can lead to great things. Who knows? Maybe the students' interest in Korean culture will lead them to work for companies like Samsung or LG. If we can use music and videos to enhance our students' learning and knowledge, why not incorporate it more into our classrooms?
