Pursuing PHD in South Korea

[jojojo89]

Hello dear forumers. 

I am from Malaysia and I have Master in Applied Linguistics. 

I was thinking of furthering Phd at South Korea (in Linguistics). I did some research and found out that only one or two korean universities offering Linguistics which are Seoul National University and Hankuk University. There was limited information that I could get through their respective website. 

however, I just need opinion, should I go to Korea to further my Phd as English is not their native language and obviously i have zero knowledge on Korean Language. Its always a dream for me to study there as I love Kpop (dont judge, lol)

Your advice on this is highly appreciated. 

 

Thank you.
