On October 12th at 5:30pm, I met with Keunhwa at books-a-million. We talked about a variety of things! We started off the conversation talking about different South Korean reality shows and how celebrities are viewed in their culture. She explained to me that there are several reality shows solely for celebrities. One of the shows is called "We got married!" It's a show where they get celebrities that just got married, give them tasks to complete and then film them completing these tasks. We then discussed, more in depth, the subject of the old South Korean corporal punishment in schools. Since Keunhwa was a teacher when this punishment was still being used, she had very interesting stories that she kindly shared with me. I'm very glad Keunhwa has been so kind to open me to up to a completely different culture and share all of her stories. She has broadened my horizon.
