The Internet as a facilitator of cultural hybridization and interpersonal relationship management for Asian international students in South Korea

This study suggests that Internet-mediated communication played an important role for Asian international students in South Korea in maintaining and strengthening tightly-knit, emotionally close relationships such as family and close friends. Alternatively, Internet-mediated communication allowed these students to make connections with members of the same ethnic groups in South Korea as well as South Korean students; however, the main goal of these new connections was to gain informational resources.
