What interests me about Korean culture is the films. A lot of Korean films, like 기생충 (Parasite), 소원 (Hope), and 도가니 (Silenced), expose the societal issues in Korea, which does not happen in every country's film industry. By watching these films, I can learn more about the social and cultural aspects of Korea, which will help me better understand the language and how it is used in different contexts and have cultural sensitivity to what might be considered controversial and challenging topics in Korean society.
Exploring Korean films can provide me insights into the values, beliefs, and traditions that shape the country's identity and influence its art and entertainment industries. Additionally, I have included watching Korean films with English subtitles as part of my learning plan to improve my vocabulary and comprehension skills in Korean. And I would want to then pratice without the subtitles to see how much I understood. This will also allow me to immerse myself in the language and pick up on colloquial expressions and idioms that are commonly used in everyday conversations since formal or textbook language is not something that people use all the time in real life.
