If you are interested in studying Korean at a Korean University in Seoul then you may want to check out this web page. Yonsei University is one of the top three universities in South Korea and it has some great programs for English speaking international students.

Oh boy... I guess it's long story time.
One day after a long hard 15 hour day at DigiPen, me and my friend Josh went to my place to relax (as usual). We were both too tired to play video games, so we decided to turn on the TV and vedge out. I started flipping through channels and stopped when I saw some crazy kung-fu action shit goin down! I was like "YEEAHH! Kung-fu time!" When the scene finally ended the plot had a drastic change... the next scene was a woman deciding whether she should kidnap her baby that she had left on this families doorstep 2 years ago... then there was a whole plot about wedding rings. By the time it was over, we realized that this wasn't a Kung-fu movie... it was a Korean SOAP OPRA!
Now the term 'SOAP OPRA' is a little miss leading. There's tons of comedy, action, and moral consequences unlike most American soap opras. In fact, one of the major plots is about a chick who plays Starcraft and is entering into tournaments to win money and is becoming a pro gamer. And her mom was mad cause she skipped the SATs to go to a tourny... and her mom was like, "NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" and slammed her computer on the ground! "YOU WILL NEVER PLAY THAT GAME AGAIN!!!!!!" But now things are patched up and she's trying to go pro again.
Anyway, after we watched it again the next day we were hooked! We started inviting other people to see this show and they fell in love with it too. They invite other people and they watch too. Now EVERY NIGHT there's about 10 to 15 people watching the 30 minute 'daily drama' "So This Is Love" at my appartment! We laugh, we make fun of the characters, we jokingly 'DUB' their lines, we place bets on plot development... it's the highlight of a lot of people's day.
Anyway, I told you that story so I could tell you this one.
One of the guys in my programming group SUCKS HARDCORE! He doesn't do ANYTHING for our project EVER! He's going to fail out. Anyway, he actually did ONE good thing. His name is Kris, with a 'K'. So he's had this URL for a while 'www.kgamer.net'. He's NEVER put content on the site, yet he gets 300 hits a day. I was puzzled by this... so I checked it out and there's a website 'www.kgamer.com' which stands for Korean Gamer! Korea is a big time gaming country. So anyway, now kgamer.net hyper links to invasionsquad.com. And we wanted to properly greet out Korean visitors. I used Babble Fish and it seems alright. But it would be cool to translate the WHOLE site. I might do it with Babble Fish. But here's the point. This is actually only 2 of MANY things lately that point to Korea for me. And it's of some sort of karmac importance that I learn Korean. So anyway... that's the whole story.
Oh, and here's a link for more info about that soap opra: http://www.geocities.com/koreanwiz/drama-loveis.html
Call your local stations and demand KBS. Long live Joon-Bum, the last Korean action hero!!
