Studying Japanese
Last week, I started learning Japanese for the first time in my life through some videos on YouTube. Last Thursday, I memorized about half of Hiragana, and yesterday I memorized the rest of the character and some of Katakana. Originally, I wanted to begin my second foreign language after I reached high level in English. But I decided to learn Japanese because this year I will probably study it as a liberal art in university. I feel quite satisfied with learning it. While most Hangul letters are straight, a lot of Hiragana ones are curved. So, it's enjoyable to write in Hiragana. Since I hardly know Japanese, I feel as if I became a baby when I learn it. I will memorize the rest of Katakana this weekend.

Good luck! Remember not to be in too much of a hurry.

At some point you need to learn some Kanji to read Japanese. As I am discovering now words have multiple meaning when they are written in Hiragana, unless they use Kanji. On the plus side you will have some basic knowledge of Chinese characters.
Also Japanese and Korean sentence structure is similar so that's another plus for you.
