The Chinese language learning trend and current situation → Increase of applications to establish tutorial schools    

From 2 or 3 years ago, besides English schools, Japanese schools were the most popular. But recently the value of the Chinese market has risen, and interest in learning Chinese language has also risen. Therefore, Chinese has replaced Japanese as the number two most popular foreign language. In the areas near China and Jiangnan in Seoul, around 10 cram schools offer Chinese language courses. In the recent 2-3 years, a Chinese trend has been created in the cram school industry and there are around 20 registered cram schools in the whole nation that teach only Chinese.
