Academically, South Korea is one of the countries that has the highest test scores. From having standardized tests that determined one’s future to having hagwons, students work really hard for their education. With students spending so much of their time in school, the library was one of the places that I found to be very cozy while visiting. The library felt very comfortable and cozy because there were booths with t.v.’s so students can rent movies and watch at their own leisure. From having read the books assigned to students before coming to South Korea, I had a thought of what the Korean education system would be like. As I asked students for confirmation, they said that every Korean student has gone to at least one or two hagwons, no matter if it is online or offline. This made me realize that education is a serious matter for students who go to hagwons even if their parents didn’t force them to. It is also a confirmation for reasons why hagwons existed and why there are so many in the metropolitan area.
