Content or content of geographic material that presents many abstract theories and concepts such as containing consequences requires students to memorize them well. The boring learning model increasingly makes these subjects less attractive to students. Various innovative learning strategies have been implemented, but in operational practice, the learning models are less effective so that many teachers return to using conventional learning models [1]. Student learning interest is influenced by the way students learn. How to learn in learning geography will encourage students to use all five senses [2]. How to learn in geography subjects can be done both indoors and outdoors, so geography learning will be more effective when using appropriate learning models [3]. Learning outcomes are the ultimate goal of implementing learning activities in schools. Learning outcomes can be improved through conscious efforts carried out systematically, leading to positive changes which are then called the learning process [4]. The end of the learning process is the acquisition of student learning outcomes. Learning media is the right solution used to realize enjoyable learning for students because learning media can appreciate the various characteristics and abilities of students. Learning media as an important element in learning because of its function as a teacher's aid in conveying messages and developing students' thinking power, as one example of fun learning media is to use media that is following technological and information advancements that are expected to overcome student's maturation and understanding. The use of instructional media aims to improve learning outcomes in accordance with 21st century competency demands. In the 21st century education paradigm, students must be able to have High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) consisting of communication, creativity, critical thinking skills, and collaboration. Previously, students were only asked to memorize concepts in learning so that learning was only textual [5]. In the 21st century learning, students must be able to analyze, evaluate, and create innovations to CITE THIS PAPER [1] Edi Kurniawan , Danang Junior Trimasukmana , "Korean Drama as Geography's Audio-Visual Learning Media of Disaster Mitigation," Universal Journal of Educational Research, Vol. 8, No. 5, pp. 2184 - 2190, 2020.
