Communication Contest in Korean

I’ve neglected this blog for almost a month. So many things to do, so little time. I will definitely be back in March — when I’m done with my hagwon obligations. In the meantime, please take notice of this contest sponsored by CiCi Korea. It is the same organization that awarded Rep. Jasmine Lee as one of the image models of Korea in 2011.
You can download the application from CICI.

1) What is the significance of the hallyu, the Korean Wave including K-pop and Korean drama? In your opinion, what other aspect of Korean culture can drive the next phase of the Korean wave? Why do you think that the aspect of Korean culture you chose will communicate well with the world? Use images, video or statistics to explain your position.
