During the last two decades, various educational reform agenda have been presented and discussed by the Korean government, its affiliated institutes such as KEDI, or NGO. Some of the agenda have been institutionalized and implemented in effect. However, many parents, teachers, and journalists argued that the Korean educational realities have never improved and even got worse. From this point of view, they think that the anomie observed in lots of schools is the presages of the “collapsing” class. This paper argues that their criticism is not valid. On the contrary, it insists that “collapsing” class stems from the school's inability to adjust to adolescents' new selves due to rapid social changes. It also argues that both the reform agenda and the critics miss the positive seeds for a new paradigm which the adolescents' disordered and uncontrolled behaviors, called “collapsing,” implied. In this context, the paper analysed the influence of the market and the internet on adolescent's self, and its educational implications. Today the adolescents love to create their own unique styles with selecting clothes, shoes, accessories and ornaments on the market. The Korean youth culture, like that in the Great Britain and the U.S.A., has generated a sort of renegade styles in terms of verbal expression, way of dress, hair style, and music style. The Korean adolescents enjoy to wear hip-pop pants and K-Martin combat boots. The meaning originated in the blacks and punks was already lost. The style market found profit in this renegade culture. It speaks to not the mind's eye but the eye's mind through various strategies and tactics such as advertising, packaging, design and managed corporate image. There are only passive consumers and then matters of quality or substance are totally overshadowed. The schools, however, have failed to adapt themselves to the adolescents' commodity selves. The paper found that almost all the adolescents enjoy to play games, chat with their friends, or serf information on the internet or in a pc-room for more than two hours a day. They send messages through an e-mail or a PCS phone. The PCS phone made it possible for them to connect their friends whenever and wherever they want to. They send character messages in class, on the street, on the subway, or in bedroom even at mid-night. Some of them are being connected for twenty four hours a day. They feel free and joy, satisfy desire for connection on the PCS phones or the internet where Foucault's panopticism does not work. The internet or virtual self may keep haptic senses from being developed within ourselves and make self-esteem be weakened. The paper concluded that the schools should try to adapt themselves to commodity self and networked self. It also suggested that more liberal school climates and balanced sensual haptic experiences were needed.
