and other titles are so successful that we can't stop talking about the origin of hallyu. This phenomenon was first named in the late 1990s when the Chinese newspaper People's Daily
he used the term to refer to the good reception of Korean culture in countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Hallyu is nothing more than the consolidation of TV series, cinema, K-pop, celebrities or idols, gastronomy, make-up
among other aspects that have increased its consumption globally. A wave that has skipped the oceans and touched the most remote corners of the planet, even in countries where barriers have been erected against what is foreign, such as North Korea. K-dramas are different from Hollywood productions, Arabic soap operas or even Mexican soap operas, because after the war with Japan and North Korea, they gave Korean society the opportunity to
reconfigure themselves in the eyes of the world. Last but not least, there is also the Korean pop (K-pop)which is intrinsically linked to the television industry like the original soundtracks (OST
) are also one of the bases for making productions known and gaining more viewers.
