升學主義的副作用，可能就在你「眼前」！根據調查，八至九成的東亞學生有近視，這可能與他們長期在室內讀書有關。

但升學主義、近視是東亞專屬的現象嗎？想了解更多就來看《開箱亞洲》試播集吧

The pressure of getting a good grade, maybe, is literally right in front of you! Studies show that 80-90% of East Asian students have myopia. This result might relate to the amount of time they spend studying indoors. But is this focus on academics just an Asian thing?

“That's So Asian” tries to deconstruct the surface appearance and subvert everyone's existing perception of Asia. Watch the full episode now!

臺灣吧從幾個月前就開始與大家探討亞洲文化，在 9 月 1 號 臺灣吧八歲生日那天，推出了全英文紀錄片節目《That's So Asian 開箱亞洲》！希望探索各種不同的文化主題，翻轉大家對於亞洲的既有印象！

#開箱亞洲 的試播集，想與大家聊聊我們這八年來都很在意的教育──
｜每個人都在同個起跑點嗎？
｜為什麼大家會在意學歷？
｜只有亞洲愛補習嗎？
｜科舉與 #升學主義 對我們的影響？
｜升學主義只在亞洲盛行嗎？

即便到了 2022，還是有人分不清楚泰國與臺灣，而放眼世界，既有的影視作品，仍充斥著關於亞洲的虛幻想像；而以亞洲文化為主題的紀錄片節目，也仍少之又少。

《That's So Asian 開箱亞洲》希望填補這樣的內容空缺，翻轉大家對於亞洲的既有認知。 住在亞洲的我們，就是最適合發聲的我們！

第一季節目預計將探討亞洲的教育、飲食、流行文化、宗教與養生，力圖走進海外市場，面向全球觀眾。

☑️翻轉對於亞洲文化的既有認知
☑️進軍海外市場，面向全球觀眾！
☑️挑戰國際影音串流平台等級紀錄片

▉ 關於試播集
本集為試播集——將探討亞洲補習文化，亞洲的補習教育為什麼如此盛行？ 亞洲學生所熟悉的補習班，對西方人而言卻是不可思議的所在——從下午 6 點放學待到晚上 10 點！（回家再繼續唸書⋯⋯

然而補習文化所反映的「升學主義」想法，或許只是以另一種形式出現在全球各地而已。以及以文憑為目標的社會競賽，它的意義到底是什麼？

為完整呈現觀點，製作團隊邀請了超過 20 位受訪者，分別來自印度、韓國、日本與臺灣，給予最直接的觀點與回饋。

▉ 與我們一起用《開箱亞洲》重新開箱定義亞洲！
目前試播集已於臺灣第一個全英語的國際影音串流平臺 TaiwanPlus 搶先上架

▉ About “That's So Asian”
Even in 2022, there are still people who can't distinguish the difference between Thailand and Taiwan. Globally, existing film and television works are still full of biased imagery and imagination about Asia; Documentary programs focusing on the theme of Asian culture are still few and far between.

“That's So Asian” sets up to fill this content gap. As a group of Asian creators living in Asia, we strongly believe that this makes us uniquely for this task at hand.

The first season of the show will explore themes of education, food culture, pop culture, religion and wellness in Asia, reaching overseas markets and a global audience.

▉ About the Pilot Episode
The pilot episode will explore Asian cram-school culture. Why are remedial education and cram schools so prevalent in Asia? Cram schools which are familiar to Asian students are often inconceivable to Westerners – How can one study from 18:00 to 22:00 after school! (Go home and study even more?)

Could the concepts behind cram-school culture and by extension credentialism be part of a greater global phenomenon? What kind of social mechanisms are at play in this race for diplomas from the top schools? What is its significance?

Hoping to present balanced perspectives, the production team invited more than 20 interviewees, from India, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, to give their direct perspectives on the topic.

▉ Let us redefine Asia with “That's So Asian” unboxing Asia!
The pilot episode of this project has been uploaded on TaiwanPlus, Taiwan's first all-English international video streaming platform, for viewing!
