× <p xss=removed>Education plays an important role in South Korean society. It is useful for social m<span xss=removed>obility and to raise social status. Therefore, parents encourage their children to be h</span><span xss=removed>ighly educated to raise their social status. This research analyzes the form of s</span><span xss=removed>ymbolic violence in the Korean drama Sky Castle using Bourdieu's theory, which </span><span xss=removed>combines forms of capital and habitus as a tool to dominate. A qualitative approach </span><span xss=removed>is used with Roland Barthes semiotic narrative structure analysis to identify </span><span xss=removed>concepts which include habitus, capital, and arena. This research has reveals that </span><span xss=removed>Sky Castle represents educational inequality through cultural, social and symbolic </span><span xss=removed>capital, and how the unequal distribution of capital reinforces social stratification </span><span xss=removed>and reproduces symbolic violence in the education system. Using Pierre Bourdieu's </span><span xss=removed>perspective, this research shows that education, which is supposed to be a tool for </span><span xss=removed>social mobility, instead functions as a mechanism for class reproduction, where </span><span xss=removed>only individuals with certain capital can access success. The play also reveals how </span><span xss=removed>the hierarchical education system creates the illusion of meritocracy, so that </span><span xss=removed>individuals from lower social classes accept inequality as natural, even though this i</span><span xss=removed>nequality is the result of an unjust social structure</span></p>
