dc.description	Las observaciones de un grupo de jóvenes colombianos inmersos en el movimiento de la ola coreana Hallyu son objeto de estudio para determinar cuáles son aquellos aspectos que desarrollan la construcción de su identidad personal y la influencia que este movimiento Hallyu tiene en sus estilos de vida. Es importante abordar el tema de la identidad porque les proporciona un sentido de pertenencia que les permite comprender quiénes son, qué les define y cómo se relacionan con el mundo que les rodea. A través de la narrativa como diseño de investigación, se recopiló información sobre sus experiencias de vida antes y después de la inmersión en la ola coreana: Hallyu; a través de entrevistas los participantes pudieron hacer un análisis retrospectivo de lo que ha influido en sus vidas al estar en contacto con los estilos de vida y formas de vida coreanos. Por lo tanto, su constante interacción con este movimiento social pudo moldear y modificar la identidad personal de los participantes en cuanto a la forma de vestir, maquillarse, expresar un mensaje con sus visuales, así como aprender a vivir en comunidad relacionándose con personas que comparten los mismos gustos. El consumo de este movimiento modificó sus comportamientos y pensamientos que a través de experiencias memorables encontraron en la ola coreana, una ayuda para la construcción de su identidad personal.
dc.description.abstract	The observations of a group of young Colombians who are immersed in the Korean wave movement: Hallyu are the object of the study to determine which are those aspects that develop the construction of their personal identity and the influence that this Hallyu movement has on their lifestyles. It is important to address the issue of identity because it provides a sense of belonging to them, allowing people to understand who they are, what defines them and how they relate to the world around them. Through narrative inquiry as the research design, information was collected about their life experiences before and after immersion in the Korean wave: Hallyu; through interviews the participants were able to make a retrospective analysis of what has influenced their lives being in contact with Korean lifestyles and ways of living. Therefore, their constant interaction with this social movement was able to shape and modify the personal identity of the participants in terms of the way they dress, make up, express a message with their visuals as well as learn to live in community by relating with people who share the same tastes. The consumption of this movement modified their behaviors and thoughts that through memorable experiences found in the Korean wave, a help for the construction of their personal identity.
