The Korean Wave, with Joowon Suh

Professor Joowon Suh discusses the rise of Korean cultural products on the global stage such as K-dramas, K-Pop, films, television shows, and food. We talk about how cross-linguistic rhyming works in K-pop, the popularity of the boy band BTS, archetypes in the movie Parasite, and her experience of visiting South Korea after living in the US for many years.

Don't be impressed by shiny skyscrapers that are slapped up with shoddy building practices. Profit before old maxim that still governs most decisions.
