Yonhap News Agency is the foremost organization in Korea for all of the up-and-coming news. A lot of the translated material we read on our English outlets and portals comes from this agency and the two reporters I got to interview Lee Eun-jung (K-pop specialist) and Yoon Go-eun (drama and film specialist).
What I found interesting about the whole experience was how different the international view of Hallyu exports are compared to their point of view. International fans consume and fangirl/fanboy differently than Korean fans. It was an enlightening experience to say the least, and I have the utmost respect and appreciation for my Korean sunbaes. Thank you, ladies, for the opportunity to pick your brains!
