My name is Sean Kim and I am from South Korea. I am junior and majoring in finance.
I first felt interest of Japan during my high school year. I went to a small boarding school in Boca Raton, Florida, and I had a japanese friend. He introduced and taught me many japanese cultures. Furthermore, delicious japanese foods and snacks were also big reasons that I have loved Japanese cultures. Every Friday dinner menu was Sushi and it became one of my favorite foods.
One day, he recommended me to watch a Japanese animation called One Piece.
This animation was originally from comic books which are about lives of pirates. Now One Piece became the most popular one even in Korea and I am a big fan of it, too. Readers consider Oda Eiichiro, the author of One Piece, as a genius since the scale of the story is gigantic and the story has not ended yet even it has more than 460 episodes.
As I face more Japanese cultures, I gain more confidence of going to Japan to see and feel of Japanese cultures directly with my skin. I want to know more about the country, JAPAN, thus, I decided to go studying abroad to Japan next year. I hope to learn a lot about Japan while taking this course.
