KOREAN CULTURE STUDIES STUDENTS PROMOTE THEIR ART



On September 2 MSU students from the Korean Studies Center gave a performance of Korean drama at the MSU amphitheatre to share and promote their interest in Korean Studies. MSU students and the general public braved the damp conditions to witness a colourful and dynamic stage show of traditional Korean dance and drama.




Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Dr. Somkiet Poopatwiboon, addressed the students and guests on the benefits of studying Korean language and culture. The thought of studying in Korea is very popular amongst many MSU students, as is Korean fashion, music and television shows.





The Korean Studies Center at MSU is under the direction of Dr. Kanokkun Maviang  and is a branch of the Department of Thai and Oriental Languages, in turn under the umbrella of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.  The course educates students with subject matter including everyday Korean language, Korean culture, food, music, drama and fine arts.



MSU Korean Studies Center students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Korean culture through the study and performance of Korean drama. They also have the opportunity to travel to Korea and partake in MSU’s Overseas Experience program which is in collaboration with Sangmyung University in Seoul.
