The Korean Wave and Language Learning

The popularity of Korean culture in Japan has been skyrocketing since the explosion of the Winter Sonata craze back in the early 2000s. With hit dramas like Crash Landing on You and Itaewon Class, it is evident that Korean entertainment has shifted from a 'trend' to a 'norm.' As more individuals express interest in understanding dialogues without subtitles—be it from K-dramas or K-pop—this seminar provides a convenient and enjoyable opportunity to delve into the language.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is perfect for:

• - Fans wanting to appreciate Korean films and dramas at a deeper level
• - Anyone curious about the meaning of popular phrases and their cultural backgrounds
• - Beginners looking to get started with the Korean language—but unsure where to begin
• - Individuals who aspire to casually engage with Korean
