KOR 3415 (K-pop, film, drama) is designed to help students develop and deepen their knowledge and understanding of Korean culture by focusing on K-pop, drama, and film through media analysis. This course prioritizes project-based learning over a standard lecture format. The curriculum is organized into thematic units centered on media curation. Students will synthesize their learning by designing and presenting an original media curation project, both at the conclusion of the K-pop and drama units and as a final project.

Students will not only broaden their knowledge of these areas but also strengthen their media literacy and rhetorical proficiency by engaging with diverse media formats and creating their own media curations as course projects. They will practice organizing and expressing their ideas in written reports and will gain exposure to a variety of perspectives related to K-pop, drama, and film.
