Any Kpop and Kdrama Fans with Recs?
Jun. 19th, 2024 09:36 amThis weekend I will be presenting at the national conference of the American Association of Teachers of Korean (AATK). I, of course, am not a Korean teacher so you may be wondering what the hell I am doing there. It turns out the conference organizer is a faculty member at my uni and saw a talk I gave about fan practices and language learning over a year ago in which there were some interesting developments coming out of Korean fans and their language learning.
My talk, which I am still organizing because that's how I roll (but seriously, if I prepare something too far in advance, it will not be fresh in my mind) is coming together nicely. I am still re-ordering things to tell a story that fits. This talk is a featured talk, which means I have a full hour as opposed to the usual 20 minutes and I believe in telling a story that keeps people interested. Part of this includes relevant images to accompany texts.
This is where I need some help. I myself am not a fan of Korean media thought I know quite a few who are and I wanted to ask for recs. I have a few images of Blackpink and BTS as well as groups of fans. I am avoiding anything with signs in Korean since I don't want to ignorantly post something offensive. I am much less familiar with Kdramas thought. I have grabbed a few images from Netflix series that have come up on multiple fan lists of the best Kdramas. So far this includes an image from Mr. Sunshine and Twenty Five Twenty One. However, there are SO MANY and again I don't know what some of these might signify. Does anyone have names of K-pop groups or K-drama series that I should consider looking into?
