Korean Culture

Thanks to the popularity of K-pop, many people are also exploring the Korean folk music and tradition music scene.
K-movies have become more mainstream at this point and everybody and their grandmother is watching K-drama.

Author: SUJI SOHN
About the author: Suji was studying in London in the year 2019 and, although being separated from her family, her passion for Korea was growing. She noticed that a lot of her close friends loved Korean culture, food, music, and dramas and gradually started to fall in love with Korea, but there weren't many opportunities to actually "experience" this wonderful nation!
Suji was aware of what she needed to do to introduce Korea to her friends' lives and, conceivably, to those of everyone else who was curious about a piece of Daehan Min-guk.
