Experience Korea Together

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 K-

Movies, 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. Tuesdays

lesson will use brief films and role playing

exercises, while students will learn Korean customs appropriate for various social settings.

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 K-

drama 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.
