Summary of Euny Hong's The Birth of Korean Cool
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 When my family moved to Korea in 1985, it was still a developing country. We lived in the most elite district, the Hyundai Apartments, and the most elite residence, rent-free. The only mitigating factor was that we would be living in Gangnam, not in the United States.
#2 In 1985, I lived in Seoul, South Korea, and I loved it. I felt like I was living in a medieval city, or at least what I imagined a medieval city would look like based on Monty Python sketches.
#3 In third-world countries, the toilet is a big preoccupation. In America, the toilet is a place to enter and exit without being traumatized, and there are extractor fans to erase odors.
#4 The rapid changes in Korea were evident in my middle school. We were among the first schools to ban school uniforms, which were seen as an imprisoning holdover from the period of Japanese colonial rule.
