Love in recess: Korean schoolkids form ‘one-period couples' to avoid stigma of being ‘single since birth'
SEOUL, Aug 5 — A growing trend among South Korean elementary schoolchildren involves dating for just a single 40-minute class period to avoid being labelled 'mosol,' or 'single since birth.' Singer Jang Yoon-jeong recently shared her surprise after learning from her children about 'one-period couples,' who start and end relationships during school recess, according to a report in The Korea Herald. 'You just give a note to a friend you like, saying, 'Do you want to go out with me?' and if he says yes, then we are girlfriends and boyfriends. Then we break up after the class ends,' said an 11-year-old student surnamed Kim. 'When my son explained this culture to me, I was stunned,' said 45-year-old Kim Joong-whan. ''Is this some kind of stand-in for real emotions?' I asked.' These fleeting relationships serve as a social buffer, helping children avoid stigma in a society where dating is seen as a sign of normalcy and social competence. Children have also adopted strategies such as 'janggo,' or 'confession joke,' to protect themselves from rejection by claiming the confession was not serious. Social media is playing a major role in encouraging these behaviours, exposing children to idealised portrayals of relationships, experts say. Hallym University sociology professor Shin Kyung-ah said, 'Platforms are flooded with content that glamorises relationships, from romantic confessions to curated couple aesthetics.' A 31-year-old elementary school teacher noted that relationship-related terms like 'kiss,' 'ppoppo' (a peck on the lips or cheek) and 'skinship' (a Korean expression derived from English, used to describe physical intimacy or affectionate touch) have become normal in student conversations. 'My students openly discuss these terms with their peers. Words like 'kiss,' which were once whispered, are now casually thrown around,' the teacher told the Korea Herald. Experts are urging parents and educators to provide age-appropriate guidance on emotional boundaries, rejection and responsible relationship behaviour. Sex education specialists stress the importance of avoiding harsh criticism and instead offering calm, constructive discussions about emotional growth. Educating children on how to both express and accept rejection is essential, as difficulties in managing it have been associated with bullying and retaliatory behaviour.

Brown music for all: Vibe curator Avinash Retnam defying stereotypes to redefine Indian club music through ‘Global South'
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — With more young Malaysian Indians wanting a better representation in the country's clubbing culture, experience designer Avinash Retnam more popularly known as Yung Mantra is rewriting the rules of the city's nightlife. Through his Global South music movement, he ropes like-minded indie musicians to showcase cross-cultural club sounds from Asia to Africa to Latin America. Ultimately, Avinash wants to create brown-led music spaces across the world that welcomes everyone. The first edition of Global South kicked off on July 26 in KL, in collaboration with Jambu-Jambu Asia, Southeast Asia's fastest-growing underground music culture collective. The event aimed to spotlight Indian club culture in Malaysia, which Avinash says is the heartbeat of the Indian underground music scene. Headlined by British-Tamil music producer Prito Itiacandy or DJ Prito, Global South's debut event was hosted by Roshan Jamrock of K-Town Clan and featured several indie musicians. The event drew over 700 attendees, and a second show took place on August 1 in Singapore. Expectations and ticket sales are now soaring for the Global South's next stopover in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on August 9. 'There's a lot of power in our rhythms. There is a sonic connection in our music (in the Global South). 'The traditional baila music from Sri Lanka, for instance, is influenced by African and Caribbean sounds. Likewise, Malaysian music is influenced by Indian music. 'So, Global South is more than a place — it's a pulse. It's where heritage meets future frequencies. 'It's about reclaiming our space on dance floors, and showing the world what happens when the South speaks up,' Avinash told Malay Mail when met recently. Boxing out stereotypes Though Avinash is an Indian national, the 35-year-old is a Malaysian at heart – having spent more than half of his life here — with short stints in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India. By day, he is a lecturer who teaches architecture, fashion, and advertising at the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology — where he completed his degree in interior architecture and a master's in communications. At night, he turns into an experience designer, curating unforgettable musical experiences for fans as Yung Mantra. 'Yung Mantra is my creative alter ego — championing South Asian identity and culture in South East Asia. 'It is a space where I explore music, identity, and cultural storytelling.' he said. Yung Mantra's Global South stemmed from his personal experience of witnessing the fragmentation and marginalisation of Indian club culture here. Stereotypes, he said, hinder the Indian underground music scene in Malaysia from evolving despite the country boasting a strong Tamil club culture compared to other parts of the world, including Tamil Nadu. 'The number of Tamil clubs that exist in Malaysia and Singapore does not exist anywhere else in the world. 'But the Indian music culture in Malaysia felt very stagnant because there is no space for experimentation. 'Tamil clubs are often boxed into stereotypes: people think Indians go to a club to dance, drink, and fight. 'Such stereotypes have led to Tamil clubs being sidelined, making it harder for the music culture to evolve,' said Avinash, who has been in the live music industry for 15 years. His first major break was as a brand strategist for singer and songwriter Yuna's concert in 2015. Although Indian live concerts are thriving in Malaysia, Avinash said the concert-goers typically prefer the tested-and-tried musical repertoire over watching singers experiment on stage. He said night clubs, by contrast, provide a safe space for indie musicians to attempt bold music experiments — and that eventually allows the music to evolve and surface into the mainstream. That drive for something different and unconventional — challenging Western musical traditions and patterns — strikes a chord with the sounds of the Global South, Avinash said. Avinash Retnam (Yung Mantra), DJ Prito (Prito Itiacandy), Jambu-Jambu Asia founder Tristan Rodrigo, co-founder Nik Kaiza, and Roshan Jamrock are all part of the Global South music movement. — Picture by Sayuti Zanudin 'The Global South music is always about resistance — because of their colonial history — and it's about reclaiming their heritage and being proud of it. 'Many of the young Indians who attended the KL event said they finally feel represented in the club culture. 'And many non-brown attendees said they have never seen so many cool Indians in one place before!' he said. The overwhelming excitement also left DJ Prito in awe, especially witnessing how the Tamil culture in Malaysia has developed over generations. Like Avinash, Prito too seamlessly switches hats: from being a primary school teacher in East London on weekdays to a music producer and DJ over the weekend. A passionate advocate for underground Tamil music, Prito launched his Prito Sounds world tour this year and Global South's KL event marked his debut performance in Asia. 'For me, it's like a playground — it's me bringing in my Tamil and UK sounds, trying to find a perfect marriage with the other (Global South) sounds,' he said. As for Avinash, the Global South is just warming up to make waves internationally in the coming years. 'Yung Mantra's Global South is our way of saying: we're here, we're loud, and we're building something timeless,' he said.
