Abstract
In the first two decades of the twenty-first century, South Korea transformed itself from a major supplier of international students to Anglophone universities into a crucial hub of inter-Asian student mobility. In this introduction to the special issue, we situate South Korea in the global context of higher education with a focus on the non-elite and middle-class turn of study abroad and the concurrent marketization and active state involvement in regional globalization. By attending to these new dynamics of inter-Asian knowledge mobilities, we call for careful examination of student experiences-even when they do not fit alongside normative models of hierarchy, success, and cultural experience-and ask what constitutes successful study abroad and how scholars should discuss it.
