INSTRUCTIONS (Proposal)

Week 1

For our proposal we had to first brainstorm what we want to study in Korea under the theme of 'Living with Nature'. Our initial idea was to compare the markets (street, and food markets) between Malaysia and Korea. We wanted to observe the interaction between the people such as customers interacting with stall owners etc. This didn't seem strong enough so we had another idea of certain taboos in Korea. We wanted to conduct a social experiment in Korea and see how the locals react to the idea of their taboos. 

Week 2

This week we came up with several ideas related to K-beauty. The taboo seemed like a risky idea so we had to scratch it. Korea is known for their organic products so we decided to portray 'Living with Nature' as part of the humanity and popularity in Korea. It is an important part of their culture and perusing the ideal beauty using makeup and organic products is their way of living with nature.
