Part 04. Yearning for Freedom and American Culture
The United States was Korea's greatest benefactor following the Korean War. American goods as well as American ideas and culture flooded into Korea to influence every aspect of the country, including its own tradition and popular culture. It was not surprising that the meeting of two cultures gave rise to new social and cultural trends, but also caused numerous clashes between tradition and modernity. This episode of Korea Panorama 70 Years explores how the influx of American culture changed Korean society, people, and its way of life.
