Hi Patreons,
For anyone interested in learning more about Hallyu, the curators of the Victoria & Albert Museum have created an online course, starting 18 April. Cost is £120.00 = US$149. This is based on the fantastic exhibit, which closes June https://www.vam.ac.uk/event/7KDDq0LyO5/o23008-hallyu-story-of-korean-pop-culture-sum-2
I loved the exhibit, and signed up; watching on demand from Minnesota, USA. Here are the course details if interested.
Cheers,
Sarah
Hallyu: The Story of Korean Pop Culture
Tuesdays, 18 April to 23 May 2023. 10.30-13.00. Online.
Watch lecture recordings on demand, available at the end of each day, until Tuesday 4 June 2023.
Overview
Inspired by the V&A exhibition Hallyu! The Korean Wave, this course will explore the meteoric rise of popular culture from South Korea in the past three decades, from its inception to its place on the global stage. This origin story will be illustrated through K-drama and cinema, K-pop and fandoms, and complemented by its cultural impact on the industries of beauty and fashion.
