Overview: Globally acclaimed Korean culture. This book explores the "real Korea" behind its popularity through novels, movies, and dramas. Using works that have also been popular in Japan, such as "Kim Ji-young, Born 1982," "Itaewon Class," "Crash Landing on You," "Minari," and "Parasite," it examines Korean society's values, family views, gender, and class consciousness. It's packed with hints for deeply understanding our neighboring country as a "neighbor," such as the weight of the word "hyeong" (older brother) and the cultural meaning embedded in "Have you eaten?"
