Hallyu, The World¡¯s New Trend 2013-04-15 ¿ÀÀü 1:08:00

Have you heard all about the grand achievements of Hallyu, Korean Wave? Do you still have a hard time believing that K-pop is heard by fans in Paris, New York, and many other parts of the world? Well, it is true. Hallyu is now a world sensation. A lot of people find it just amazing this country of¡®Morning Calm¡¯is attracting such interest from the rest of the world. From now, let me share my experience related to what Hallyu has done so far.

I have an American friend, Mark. He is not only my father¡¯s co-worker, but also a good friend of mine. Mark has been in Korea for 3 years as an industrial designer. At first, his attraction to Korea came through Korean food. He fell in love with Bi-bim-bop. After he got to enjoy Korean food very much, he found Korean antiques and pottery so fascinating. That made him desire to learn more about Korean culture. At last, he decided to move to Korea and live here. Mark recently won an award by using Korean pattern for his design.Getting to know what brought Mark to Korea made me think. Though Bi-bim-bap in New York was a small seed for Mark to pay attention to Korea, it brought much more favorable interest in Korea. I believe the same can be applied with Hallyu.

Even if K-pop is one piece of passionate experience for one person, it can lead to enormous interest and support for Korea. Therefore we must not be satisfied at this stage. It is rather a time for us to try harder to excel in every place we are in this context, I would like to present a little concern of mine.


Nowadays we see a lot of talent shows trying to scout entertainers with talent. Much more teenagers and young people put in great effort to become stars. I am very proud of all our Hallyu stars and wish all those people with talent would boost Hallyu even more. At the same time, I strongly believe that each of us has a different talent. That is not only in singing or acting. Each distinct talent can do a lot of great things in every field of our country. That is why we need to find our own talents and do our best to contribute to make Korea prosper.


These days, the culture can influence more powerfully than other things such as economy or politics. So Hallyu can open a great opportunity for Korea. On the other hand, we ourselves need to know more about Korean culture so that we can introduce it when others show some interest. With that, we should also work on our own talent to help Korea become one of the leading countries in the world. Now I would like to invite all of you to be the one who makes Korea spread out to the world with the power of the culture rooted in our 5000 years of the history and the greatness of the country itself. I made up my mind to try to let the world know Korea as a country where its culture is growing, and the country also progresses with the culture. Would you join me in the effort to do that?
