Thanks for sharing that interesting article of a summer programme for international students which contrasts with the article someone shared about women travelling to Korea to find their very own Oppa. Where the similarities came in for me was the phrase that everyone felt their version of Korea was THE Korea. It reminded me of when Americans say they love the British accent when there is no such thing with so many dialects existing according to location, class, age etc.
Not sure if the Dramabeans site is playing up for everyone but it’s has been freezing and bouncing around. It’s showing the notification for me when this response is clearly nested under Tizzard’s comment so not sure if he will see it.

Korean studies and the K-Vibe.
I like what David Tizzard says about Orientalism and the switch from government funded soft diplomacy.

So true. I guess we all have our versions of Korea that are as much about ourselves as they are about the country. But that’s Orientalism, isn’t it.
