Q1:What is the concept of sexuality in korean pop music videos? Answer: Because of the drastic competition in the korean, I think sexuality and nudity are both mainstream tendency in korean pop culture. Every star in korean entertainment circle want to be more attractive and try to be well-known and popular. So they show off their nice body figure in order to attract more fans. I found problematic with this phenomenon, not only the female star show off their body figure and dance in a sexy way to attract more fans, but also the male star try to build up their body to have a stronger body figure to attract attention and gain more like. So the premise of being popular star in korean is to have a good appearance and good body figure, other than that you still need to be skillful at singing and dancing. For example, the world famous korean band “bigbang”, they all have handsome face and looks stylish, they also have good body figure and talent to create good song. That is the reason why their fans are all over the world. Many entertainment company in Korea use sexuality and nudity as a selling point to impress the fans and the audience. So when people talks about a pop star or a group, they can immediately connect to their symbolic, such as their body figure or their signature move. The situation is they dress less in the music video. Other than that, the dance move become more sexuality and nudity. Which I don’t think is a good sign, In my view, we still need to put more attention on their music and talent but not the sexuality and nudity. In another perspective, the media influence the concept in a certain extent. Because the media usually publicity the sexuality and nudity to attract the readers as well. So that is one of the reason why the korean pop music videos are changing now. Q2: why there is sexuality and nudity in Korean advertisements? Answer: I found a funny facts in Korean advertisement. In mainstream media, they are conservative about actual act of sex but not being “sexy”. It is shown visually, but not discussed. You might see a girl wearing a short skirt, but you won’t hear they talk about sex in the movies or on television. I think koreans culture are very conservative regarding the topic of sex. I think it just some korean advertising companies try to make their advertisement become well-known. Usually they will invite some famous pop star or groups to shoot the advertisement. They usually will design a story theme. For example, I watched a korean beer advertisement. It was taken by a famous female star in korean. The scene is she drink the beer and dance in a sexy in a party. She dress very sexy and doing the moves like swinging hair and open leg. The advertising companies try to impress the audience by the sexuality and nudity, and the personal reputation of the female star. Try to let the audience remember the product and let it be the symbol of the product, in order to publicity the product better. And I think this become a phenomenon. Korea’s music videos and advertisement become sexuality. 1. What is the difference between now and past Korean’s concept of marriage? Before, I think the Korean’s concept of marriage is in a certain extent affected by Confucianism. In the korean costume piece and movie, we can see when the women goes out they will use cloth to cover their face and body figure. When they stay at home, they usually don’t live with their husband, they live in the different room or different places, and they just meet each other once in a while. But now, it became totally different. I think it’s affected by American and modern society. They become more exoteric. The young couple or kiss or hug in public places seems pretty normal now. And more people after marry, divorce has become increasingly common. Because people are more open now, and social media become more and more developed. People can easily get to know each other,so many extramarital relationship will exist. I think it wouldn’t happen in the past. They are more single-minded than now. So I think that’s a big difference between now and past korean’s concept of marriage. 2. What is the important values in family life? Every single individual in our society comes from a family. No matter where they came from, they all need to find a way to get along with their family and parents. In this important process, some found their own understand of the important values that matters much in their family life, while other who can’t carry out as well as the formers will suffer in serious family problems, such as depression, even conflicts and crimes or psychological illness. I think it has a great significance to understand these values. I agree that families should be supportive to each other. When a family member depress or upset, others should give them some comforting touches and encourage them to cheer them up. Family is our strongest backing forever, your family will never betray you. They can give you the encouragement, confidence and energy to make you go ahead.A supportive family means a lot to everyone. Sometime we disagree with the family or elders decision, but we need to learn how to communicate and it’s our own responsibility to encourage them to do the right thing. In addition, I think every family member has their own responsibility. Such as husband need to work hard, be strong mentally and physically, and support the family economically. And wife need to keep keep other member neat and clean, keep the house clean and tidy and teach the children. Kids should learn knowledge as well as they can and be obedient to the elders. This responsibility bound can keep extend. When people know their responsibilities and the pressure, the will work hard on their own duties. Which is a big factor to keep a family or even the whole society harmonious. I think responsibility is a good thing to make the society runs smoothly. All in all, a family will not be tight and harmonious without values of loyalty, support and responsibility. They are still lots of other factor means a lot to the family value. Family should think about things in each other’s perspective, they need to care about other’s feeling as well. They need to rethink the way they treat their families and elders and improve themselves. If everyone does, I think our society will be much more melodious and better. I think this is the important values in family life

KOREAN CULTURAL REFLECTION

The world today reveals a change of time and patterns on some past ‘privately' held
matters in contemporary society. There now exists a paradigm understanding of previously
incomprehensible issues in the society. These previously ‘private’ issues revolve around topics
such as marriage, sexual education, and sexual behavior. All the three issues influenced by
cultural advancements and westernization or modernity, as many would call it (Choi, 2014). In
an attempt to drift from past conservative traditions to present liberal integrated societies, this
work details contended topics on sexuality and nudity and additionally discusses love and
married life in the Korean culture in an attempt to create an understanding on these controversial
topics and bring an informed conclusion on the issues.
There exists disturbing statistics on sexually attracted populations in Korea. In a survey
conducted in the year 2001, over 55% students revealed that they had heter...
