Welcome to Hallyu Camp 2013!

Calling all Korean pop culture fans! Take a deep dive into the exciting culture of Korea with Hallyu Camp! K-Pop music, K-Dramas, and KMovies, have become a global phenomenon in recent years, with passionate fans all around the world. All of these genres are part of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave. Hallyu Camp 2013, offered through the King Sejong Institute Washington DC, is designed to give fans of Korean pop culture a deeper understanding of the country, people, and society from which Korean pop culture originates. Participants will make new friends, both Korean and American, and experience what it means to be Korean through a variety of fun interactive workshops, lessons, discussions, Korean meals, and creative projects related to Korean traditional and pop culture.

What will we accomplish?

Throughout Hallyu Camp, students can share their interests in pop culture while learning about the traditional arts and values that shape Korean culture and society today. While having fun collaborating with Korean interns, students will increase their knowledge about Korea and its culture as well as their cultural competence and ability to successfully interact in an international setting, including skills in etiquette, language ability, and cultural sensitivity. Students will also compare American and Korean culture to help identify unique characteristics of both. Most importantly, participants will have fun while learning! Those who complete the program will receive a certificate of completion from the director of the Korean Cultural Center, acknowledging their studies.

Lessons, Workshops, and Cultural Themes

Each day of Hallyu Camp is built around a cultural concept essential to understanding Korea. This daily theme, such as jeong (a sense of affection that defines communities) or hyo (respect for elders) will be illustrated through examples from Korean movies, dramas, television shows, real life situations. Students will also experience each theme with friends and Korean interns through fun activities and workshops.

Daily Cultural Concepts

Monday

Jeong

()

is

about

affection,

warmth,

compassion, and attachment among people in Korea. It is a fundamental characteristic of the Korean people. Because of it, you will feel the warmth and affection that flow from person to person in Korea. Through Mondays lesson, students will understand why Koreans emphasize the concept of , or we, over me, and can compare the differences between American individualism and Korean collectivism.

Tuesday
Traditionally, Koreans place others above self. This love and respect for others is practiced through chung,

hyo, ye (

). Chung is loyalty and allegiance for ones nation, hyo is filial piety and duty to ones parents, and ye is manners and etiquette toward elders and strangers.

Wednesday
Koreans are known for their love of gamu (), or singing and dancing.

Heung

()

is

the

sense

of

excitement, joy, and fun, which puts the zing and zest into everyday life for Koreans. It runs throughout Korean culture, from the oldest village folk dance to the latest K-pop music. Wednesdays lesson will include a look at some Korean literary genres like hyangga (), sijo (), and pansori (), as well as the role of music, dance, and performance in everyday life.

Thursday
According to a government survey in 2009, Koreans chose the word

sarang

(), or

love, as the most beautiful word in Korean language. In fact, you cannot talk about Kdrama without the theme of romance. Many Koreans have a strong sense of nostalgia and a yearning for their first true love. In Thursdays lesson, video clips from K-dramas and K-pop music videos will be used to discuss how love and relationships among Korean youth differ from those in the United States.

Friday
Koreans like to use the terms

mat

and

meot

( and ) to describe a variety of

things for their distinctive flavors. In fact, the two words have the same origin in the Korean language. Mat is about taste and mood, while meot is about beauty and style. In Fridays lesson, students will learn varied uses of the two concepts, and taste Korean culture firsthand.
