Hallyu Wave: South Korea

South Korea. Having created what is known as a Hallyu Wave, the spread of Korean culture through out the world is becoming increasingly popular around the world with people of all ages, namely teens and young adults. "Cultural exports – including films, comics and computer games – hit a record $4.2bn last year, up from $2.6bn in 2009", obviously showing the rapid rise in interest with Korean culture.
Many know it for their technology and popular music, but what else is there that makes Korea such a fascinating country? 

Being a country that has rapidly grown from poverty to being one of the most flourishing countries in the world, I will show you various tourist destinations to visit if you're planning to go there, and if you're not, I'll try my best to persuade you to want to pay a visit to the bustling country of South Korea.
There are two cities in Korea that I visited, Jeju and Seoul. Jeju, being an island created from volcanic ash, a great and relaxing honeymoon destination; and Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, ideal for shoppaholics and people with an interest with history.  



Question for the readers: Have you been caught by the Hallyu Wave? If so, what made you so interested with this country? 


Watch out for my next blog post on Jeju, the amazing island created completely by a volcano.
