Enjoyed the Hallyu - The Korean Wave exhibition at the National Museum this morning. A history lesson and a 90s explosion of pop culture with music, film and fashion artefacts on display.

Then, it was off to the Australian Scrabble championships to see how serious Scrabblers get their Scrabble on.

The reach and influence of K-pop and K-drama / K-movie on reviving something forgotten.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) were popular in the late 20th Century. It was once expected to include it in your resumé or CV (Curriculum Vitae). It went on up to around 2007 but fogotten after that.
Around that time when the rest of the English-speaking world has forgotten about it, Koreans picked up MBTI (in 2008?) and it became part of their "modern" culture. It replaced knowing one's Blood Type and the Nimrod Zodiac Sign.
As "Hallyu" became a thing globally, MBTI became popular again. Many people today even assume that you're a K-pop or K-drama fan if you share your MBTI. 🤷🏽♂️ Which of course, as is usually the case with assumptions, is not necessarily true (often false).
The only "funny" thing about the resurgence of MBTI is that, majority—no doubt—got their MBTI from those silly free online quizzes. 😅 In other words, their MBTI is more likely inaccurate (as far as the approved exams by the MBTI Foundation is concerned of course). 😆
That's the power of the Korean [culture] wave.
