Discovering Korea, Sharing Culture ❤️

1.My First Encounter with Korea
When and how did you first discover Korea (through music, drama, food, history, etc.)? Reflect on that first impression and how your understanding of Korea has changed since then.

2.A Journey Through Imagination: Visiting Korea
Imagine you are traveling to Korea for the first time. Which city, historical site, or natural landscape would you visit first, and why? Write as if you are keeping a travel diary.

3.Korean Cuisine on My Table
If you could try any Korean dish right now, which one would it be? Explain what fascinates you about it, what you expect it to taste like, and how you think it reflects Korean culture.

4.The Power of Korean Storytelling
Recall a scene from a Korean drama, film, or webtoon that left a deep impression on you. Why did it resonate with you, and what did it teach you about Korean society or values?

5.Holidays Across Cultures
Compare a Korean holiday (such as Seollal or Chuseok) with a traditional holiday in your own culture. What similarities or differences do you see in the way people celebrate, and what do these reveal about cultural values?

6.Friendship Without Borders
Imagine you had a Korean friend your age. What kind of conversations would you like to have, and what aspects of each other’s cultures would you want to share and experience together?

7.K-Pop and Me
Write about your relationship with Korean music. How has K-pop (or another Korean music genre) influenced your daily life, emotions, or even the way you see the world?

8.Learning from Korea
If you could study or practice one Korean tradition, art, or skill (for example, Hangul, Taekwondo, calligraphy, or traditional dance), what would it be? Explain how learning it might enrich your life or worldview.

9.The Beauty of a Single Korean Word
Choose one Korean word or expression you know. Explore its meaning, cultural background, and why it feels special or powerful to you.

10.Introducing Korea to the World
Imagine someone who knows nothing about Korea asks you to describe it. What would you say first? Would you focus on history, modern culture, food, language, or something else? Write as if you are Korea’s storyteller to the world.
