2nd week of kpop academy. (History Week)

So Saturday was our second week at the kpop academy. When I got there I was pretty early so I managed to read the whole of a book on Korean Cosmetics. Then we had to go into the main room and take a seat. We then had a lecture on the history of Korea. I had no idea that there were so many different aspects of Korean history and so many different stories and traditions, our teacher pretty much covered everything. The story I liked the most was the one about the Bear and the Tiger. We learnt about the nations, kings and invasions. I feel like I definitely have a better understanding of Korea and can definitely appreciate it a lot more. It only makes me want to visit even more. We then learnt about the March 1st movement so after a quick break we then had to make our own Korean flag, I loved this because I love making things. Here's a photo of the flag I made. I had no idea that it represent Yin and Yang and the different elements.
