I am fascinated by Korea since I adore Kpop and Kdramas. As I read this article about English ideologies in Korea, I cannot help but look into how these Korean idols, actors, and actresses used English in their respective professions. I have observed that a lot of idols are working on their English language skills because they have a large following of fans from throughout the world. This finding supports Dr. Cho’s assertion that English is a form of social and economic capital. Since English allows one to relate to and interact more effectively with people around the world, speaking the language can undoubtedly lead to a wide range of employment options. Additionally, this can offer a way to spread awareness of one’s culture and customs to a wider audience. I recall BTS’s Kim Namjoon’s address at the 2018 UN General Assembly. He was able to tell his tale of growing up in Korea and effectively convey their end-violence campaign since he spoke English fluently.

Dr. Cho also mentioned the concepts of haewepa and guknaepa. These distinctions of Korean people based on where they learned English fascinate me. These ideas are nonexistent in my country. This merely demonstrates how Koreans perceive a divide or distinction between those who studied overseas and those who did it domestically. It is more of a class indicator of those who are privileged and those who are not, rather than merely how they speak. In my country, studying abroad in general may be a plus factor, but in terms of where you learned English does not necessarily matter.

Overall, the article is very informative and comprehensive. I enjoyed reading as it provided me additional knowledge about a country I am interested in.
