In today’smulticultural world, language learners’ intercultural competence (Byram, 1997)in addition to their linguistic competence has been increasingly emphasized byresearchers. For Korean as a foreign language (KFL) learners, Korean popularculture seems to have potential to be a useful resource to develop their interculturalcompetence, in that the intense popularity of Korean popular culture in manyparts of the world (Toru, 2007) have an effect on Korean language learning. This study investigates to what extent Korean popular culture influences Koreanas a foreign language (KFL) learners’ intercultural competence and suggests afew pedagogical implications. Drawing from Pavlenko’s (2007) narrative analysis,I analyze content, context, and form of two KFL learners’ narratives. The analysesdemonstrate how learners can use diverse resources including Korean movies,dramas, and people in developing their intercultural competence by acquiringintercultural knowledge and undergoing the process of ‘decentering’ from theirown cultural perspectives. The participants narratives also shed light on possiblepedagogical application of Korean popular culture in Korean language teaching,in that teachers can incorporate popular culture and other steps to develop learners’intercultural development in classroom settings.
