Back to School: True Education & Nostalgic School-Gate Snacks

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we are heading back to school to mark the end of the spring semester and the start of summer vacation! We will look back at school memories—from report cards and hagwons (cram schools) to emailing professors about grades, and the nostalgic snack shops right outside the school gates. Next, we will dive into the hit Netflix series Vigilante (True Education) to examine the breakdown of teacher authority, school violence, and the ongoing debate surrounding juvenile offender laws. Finally, we will wrap up by treating ourselves to some classic comfort foods: tteokbokki, sundae (blood sausage), fried snacks, and the ultimate convenience store recipe combinations.
