Please tell me all your story about it;)
Which year!(Important;)

- I met Korean culture through kpop first. One day in October, 2017 I was watching some youtube videos and BTS song Not Today and I
liked it instantly. I heard of kpop before and heard some songs but I didn’t explore it more then. I firstly started to listen to BTS and
then I found more groups and solo artist that I like. Since I was little I liked other cultures, so it wasn’t weird for me to listen music in
ither language. I think I like Kpop mostly because of dancing. I’ve dancing since I was 7, so when I watched Kpop videos for the first
time I was captivated by their choreography. I started exploring about South Korea. I really liked food,, traditional clothes and
language, so one day I decides that I wanted to learn Korean language. I started learning it on my own during summer. When I got back
at school In September 2018 I heard there would be Korean language lessons in our school so I decided to go. After listening for Kpop
for few months, in December 2017. I watched my first Kdrama. I never heard of Kdramas before, but my friend from same class who
listens Kpop, told me about Kdramas and suggested that I should watch one. I fell in love with Kdramas too. Even now when we can’t
leave our homes because of virus I am watching Kdrama Crash Landing On You. I still really like Kpop. Now and then when I have free
time I learn choreographys from my favorite Kpop songs.

2. Why do you like K-pop and Korean culture? why do you think Serbian young people love them?
- I like Kpop because eventhough I don’t speak Korean language I can somehow connect to the song. There are a lot of Kpop artist who write their own
music and sing songs about topics that young people can relate.I also really like the performance concept of Kpop. You are not only listening to music,
but also watch beautiful dance. I think young people in Serbia like Kpop because every song has a different concept and there are a lot variety in
sounds. Also all people I know that like Kpop like to learn choreography from Kpop music videos, so I can say we also like Kpop because of dance.

3. Which channel do you usually meet Korean culture(K-pop, movie, drama etc) through? (for example, youtube, Serbian magazine, Serbian
TV.. )
- I mostly watch Kpop related videos on youtube. I also watch some Korean programs and kdramas and movies on internet sites

4. It’s first time to show Korean drama 화랑(Huarang) in Serbia TV channel(RTS). Did you watch it? How do you like it? and why do people
like Korean drama?
- Yes, I heard about that. I already watched 화랑 before that, but I also watched few episodes again on RTS. I was really surprised when I
heard about it, but also happy. I think it’s really good to show Kdramas on RTS because that more people can hear about them and see how
good they are.
5. Do you have dream(goal) about Korea? If you have, what is it? why do you have this dream? What will you prepare (effort) for it?
(For example, I want to go traveling Korea, I want to study in Korea, I want to make Korean friends, I want to open Korean restaurant in
Serbia.. etc)
- I want to try Korean food. Here in Serbia we don’t have many ingridients to make Korean food. I once made 호떡. Few days ago I made Dalgona
coffee. I would like to try Kimchi. I would also like to visit South Korea one day.

6. Korean embassy organise lots of Korean event, but I think there is still less about Korea culture in Serbia, like no Korean restaurant, no
Korean K-pop concert, no Korean department in university here.. etc. What about your wish about Korean things in Serbia?
- I think we had Korean restaurants her in Novi Sad. Also there are not language schools who teach Korean language. I want other people
to meet Korean culture. People don’t need to like Kpop to like and respect Korean culture, there are so many things about South Korea that
we should like.
