Textbook Compilation Committee of the Korean Studies Interdisciplinary Program at the East Asian Institute, Sungkyunkwan University: Korean History: Modern and Contemporary Period

The Korean public culture has begun to be noted in other countries since the late 1990s, when students of the United States introduced a series of Koreans that should be known, and what is called "the Han current". This means that Korean culture is now becoming shared objects, not just in Korea, but around the world. Especially the change in media environments, which has developed on the Internet, has spread to the world, including Korean culture and art, and as a result, the enthusiasm for learning Korean and Korean culture, and further, has been intensified. The writers of the Korean Series, which students should know about, also feel this ‘vehement ’ in their university classroom. When more foreign entrance students and students are asked about ‘Utitudes or Reasons for Koreanity’ each year, many answer that they have learned about Korea through Han Li and have come to study Korea. But they rarely learn exactly what and how to learn from Korean students who want to study and learn about Korea, even though they are not ‘ Korean. ’. Although the majority of the more than 160,000 foreign students who came to Korea with passion and will to learn Korea, the scribes were accustomed to see that their understanding of Korea was never in proportion to their enthusiasm. The passion and the future dream of this people is more urgent than ever before to bring about a real success in life.
