At a Glance

Join Andrew Eungi Kim, Professor of International Studies at Korea University, for an engaging exploration of Korean culture using a framework of five essential keywords. With so many elements to consider, understanding any culture can be challenging, and Korean culture — with its rich history spanning thousands of years — is no exception. This lecture will use these five key concepts to illuminate both familiar and lesser-known aspects of Korea’s cultural identity, offering a structured approach to this complex and fascinating topic.

Margaret – Class of 2017 | Walnut Creek, CA
This talk covered a lot that I was unaware of regarding Korean culture. It was very eye-opening and inspired more curiosity. Next time, I would recommend splitting the talk into two talks. Some of the topics were not given enough time. It would have been better to cover them more slowly or leave them for a second session. It would be wonderful to have this excellent and knowledgeable speaker as a lead for a Road Scholar “Adventure Online” for those who cannot travel to Korea in person!

Nancy – Class of 2010 | Schaumburg, IL
I learned so much about South Korea, its traditions, language, and history. I was surprised by some of the information e.g. the mountainous geography. Years ago, my father returned from an Asian trip and said he loved Korea and the people. I can see why, after this presentation.
