Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemics, most of the youth's extracurricular events and activities in South Korean universities had been halted. These included the student-led interest group that was purposed to promote better understanding and people-to-people connections from South Korea and other regions, including the Southeast Asia region and the ASEAN organization. This paper aims to provide initial insights into how these student-led ASEAN Interest Groups show their eagerness to survive the pandemic semesters and keep their existence as a common and sustainable space for youth in South Korean universities better to understand the Southeast Asia region and its people. As a preliminary case study, this research conducted mini field research observation on-site and virtually in two ASEAN roundtable groups in two South Korean universities for two months (mid-September 2021 to early November 2021). These activities include participating in both groups' regular meetings, monitoring social network service (SNS/social media) accounts, disseminating voluntary primary demographic and aspirations surveys for the groups' members, and in-depth interviews with the groups' in-office and former coordinators. The result from this mini-ethnographic study later deliberated into how these student-led ASEAN interest groups in South Korean universities can play a role in lime lighting a young, dynamic, and prospective region of Southeast Asia amongst young Koreans that still have a limited understanding of the Southeast Asia region and culture, that in the future can play in building a sustainable and future-oriented ASEAN-South Korea partnership.

Abstract

Israel's military aggression in the Gaza Strip following Hamas's surprise attack on October 7th, 2023, continued to escalate until the end of the year, which became one of the deadliest military operations in the last three decades, with a total death toll of more than 10 thousand people. The coverage of the escalated tensions in Israel-Palestine has also become a hot issue to cover by various international media outlets. This article delved into the news narrative of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Al Jazeera, examining their agenda-setting, language selection, and framing of events. The choice of BBC and Al Jazeera as the subjects of this research is to compare the representation of Western and non-Western media. Through the utilization of comparative methods and text analysis facilitated by Voyant tools, this study revealed that background differences between the observed media impact the news content disparities for international audiences in accordance with each interest.
