Why did you choose this topic?
After falling in love with the K-Pop band BTS and flying to see them perform, I decided to read and learn more about their home country, South Korea. I’m enrolled in a class to learn the language, and my friends and I enjoy trying new Korean recipes we find. Korean authors are experiencing a rise in popularity right now, so I chose a few books I love for this display, as well as a few that look interesting!
