This House believes that schools should employ edutainment as their primary education method.

Info

Edutainment is a way of learning that combines education with entertainment. It means teaching subjects through fun and engaging methods like games, videos, storytelling, or interactive activities. The goal is to make learning enjoyable rather than relying on activities that require high levels of concentration or effort.

This House, as the South Korean Ministry of Culture, supports the adaptation of South Korean entertainment to appeal to global audiences.

Info

The global popularity of South Korean culture refers to how entertainment from South Korea, such as K-pop, movies, and TV shows, has become widely enjoyed around the world. This trend is often called the Hallyu or “Korean Wave.” Popular works like Squid Game and Parasite have helped shape how people in other countries see South Korea, increasing interest in its culture and boosting tourism. At the same time, some argue that South Korean entertainment has adapted its style to appeal more to global (especially Western) audiences.
