Applications to study in Korea definitely on the rise! No hard data more than contextual, but in my network of international college-aged folks have seen + hears the pervasiveness of throwing everything away to make a study abroad semester at a SKY (Seoul, Korea, Yonsei -- “top 3 schools”) school happen. The correlation of what their recent played Spotify tracks + eventual next semesters looked like was a funky one to see the dominoes falling over in real time. Always a refreshing read, Professor! :)
Great to hear from you. I recently had opportunity to speak with folks at the Korean Consulate in San Francisco, who confirmed the uptick in interest (though, verbally, and not with data). Also seeing various status updates among former students/contacts etc that support your description. ;-)
