Hallyu.

According to WikiPedia.org

The Korean wave refers to the popularity of South Korean popular culture in other countries and is otherwise known as “????„? (Hallyu)“, from the Korean pronunciation. The term was coined in China in 2001 by Beijing journalists startled by the growing popularity of South Koreans and South Korean goods in China. The Korean wave began with the export of Korean TV dramas such as Jewel in the Palace and Winter Sonata across East and Southeast Asia; the growing success of Korean drama was shortly matched in the fields of movies and popular music. The phenomenon does not extend to North Korean shows or movies, which have never found more than a tiny audience abroad.

Just like Princess Hours. I saw many blogs ranting about it or Princess Hours as its layout or theme (like me). Princess Hours is worth-addicting. Right? :)

That’s all for now.. jal ga~

Annyong~ I set up pages for you to learn Korean words, phrases and conversations with English translations.

I learn Korean through dictionaries, internet, forums, Korean lessons (at school) and I ask some Korean friends. Also through movies/series like Goong at My Sassy Girl. Enjoy!
