Bae Yong-joon became a superstar in Japan thanks to the drama Winter Sonata, to the point of sparking fan tourism to South Korea and a fever for learning the language. This DS software capitalized on that connection: Korean lessons structured around situations -this entry, "Date Hen," built around a romantic date- with the actor's image as the commercial hook.
It's a curious chapter in the crossover between celebrity culture and edutainment that DS enabled in Japan, designed exclusively for that market and that specific cultural moment.
