    KBS World is the offical station of South Korea. This site was recommended by a colleauge whose wife is Korean.  The website offers news articles, information on music and other popular culture topics, a tutorial in Korean and a section on infographics.  The infographic section has a great deal of information on covid spread, treatment, and cases, but there is also information about rocket programs, household debt, mental health issues, and sports.  I find infographics very useful to use with my students and several of these will be good for class discussions, especially the sports and entertainment sections.  The website is available in over 10 languages.  This spring my students will be looking at a single topic and how the topic is covered in at least 5 different countries. This site will be very useful to students looking at economic or health topics.  One article I found especially interesting was about the upcoming Olympics and the US diplomatic boycott. I encourage my students to look at international coverage of US events to gain perspective.

    The website is well organized and I didn't find any broken links while searching for information.
