Korea from the Perspective of Foreigners
The space we live in is a familiar place for us. There are things we see and learn naturally as we live in Korea. However, it can be a little different for foreigners. Their different view of the things that we are accustomed to provide us a new kind of surprise. Let's take a look at two webtoons that clearly reveal their stories from a foreign perspective.
1. Annabelle and Korea / Annabelle / Lezhin Comics
The Republic of Korea in her eyes is the lawless area itself. The reason why she became to love Korea as a person who didn't even know where Seoul was before, was simply because of the idols. After the random encounter with the idols that happened by coincidence, she also falls in love with Hongdae and chooses to live in Korea.
But there is no easy route. Even though she can speak a bit of Korean, she stutters like a child who is three years old and the convoluted landscape of Korea that is completely different to that of France is enough to make her dizzy. But what about them? She is brave, vigorous and daring. Let's look forward to her challenge as she is just lovely to look at.
2. Penguin loves Mev / Penguin / LINE Webtoons
When you take a peek at the couple's life, it's just pure sweetness between them. The scenes that are seen in the relationship which seem to simply melt each other away clearly show what is needed to harmonize between Korea and a foreign country. Although the couple is living in a foreign country other than Korea after their marriage, Mev perceives Korea not only as his lover's country but as a distinct nation that has it's own sentiments.
That's why their passionate love and marriage stories, which demonstrate what it means to be together with someone else to mix their different cultures, sometimes feel realistic and lovely the other times.
