Hallyu

한류 Hallyu ... I guess most of you know what that word means, it's Korean and stands for Korean popular culture. Accordingly it's international popularity started to decrease in 2004 and the series Eternal Love, Autumn Tale, Winter Sonata, Spring Waltz and Summer Scent is supposed to be one of the major events.
Not be excluded is the drama, Full House featuring Song Hye Kyu and Rain in the main roles.

Autumn In My Heart Episode 1 Episode 1

Winter Sonata Episode 1 Part 1

Spring Waltz Episode 1 Part 1

Summer Scent Episode 1 Part 1

Recently historical costume dramas like Queen Seon Duk, Empress Chun Chu, Iljimae and Yisan is still broadcasted in Korea. And fact is that Korean dramas are very popular since it lacks unmoral elemtns like, violence, crimes and sex....

Yi San Episode 1 Part 1

Unfortunately but not surprisingly not one of this dramas is broadcasted in Sweden, so if I want to watch them I either have to watch from my screen (computor) or order the drama from Korea, which I suppose is from where you order them.

Pop icons and singers like Rain, Clazziquai project and Shinhwa seems to have represented the spread of Korean pop music overseas. Nowadays more and more people have at least heard of pop groups like SS501, SNDS Wonder Girls and Super Junior.

Rain

SNDS Wondergirls

SS501

SNDS Girls Generation

Super Junior

I could easilly name more dramas and pop singers and pop groups but if I do I'm afraid that this post will be far to long... So I will refrain from doing so, at least this time.

Please note that this is my third post containing youtube clips...
