Abstract

This study uses text mining to analyze the lexical corpus found in the introductory phrase of South Korean “Sebasi Talk” speeches, categorizing the speeches into different topics. Sebasi Talk speeches can be classed into three themes with the following implications. First, through the theme “Family and Social Connections,” Korean learners can develop an understanding of the importance of family, social relationships, and the pursuit of happiness as the theme conveys the significance of the family as a social unit in Korean culture. Second, the theme of “Personality and Happiness of Success,” enables learners to understand the social perspective of being recognized for their values and pursuing success and happiness simultaneously, as the theme indicates that personality growth, goal achievement, and self-awareness are related to pursuing happiness. Third, through the theme “Social Change and Technological Innovation,” learners can examine the perception of social relationships and understand the importance of technological progress and knowledge, considering that keywords such as world, future, and society appear frequently in this theme. Consequently, this study can help learners improve their language skills by expanding their vocabulary range through the various topics of Sebasi Talks.
