How Korean Tradition Becomes Pop
From Hangul and Hunminjeongeum to the Korean language, from pansori to Leenalchi, from Arirang to hanbok and kimchi: the traditions beneath K-content, read as script, sound, dress and taste.
This course starts from the axis of script — Hangul, Hunminjeongeum, Hangul Day — descends to the Korean language, then moves through the axis of sound (pansori, Leenalchi, Arirang) and finally dress and taste (hanbok, kimchi).
