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.

Kpop academy week 1



So this was the first day of the KCCUK Kpop academy. I was SO happy that I got picked and was really excited to go. When I got there, I received a bag of free goodies (Which I was extremely pleased with) and had my photo taken. I then met up with the other students who I knew a few of already. We then had to give our presentations on ourselves, which I was really nervous about but it was interesting to see what the other students interests in Korea were. Then we had a short break and ate some Korean snacks (which were really interesting) then we got put into 4 different teams named after different kpop groups, I got big bang and we had a quiz related to all things Korean.My team lost but I was happy that I actually knew a lot of the answers. After I went to a Korean restaurant with the friends I had made there. I am really looking forwards to the next 11 weeks!
