Whether it's music,film,drama series,fashion or cuisine,South Korea is establishing itself as a key player on the world stage. And the Korean Wave (Hallyu) shows no sign of stopping.

Including sections on K-pop bands,cinema,drama,art,comics,food,fashion and night-life,with features within each section on the best films,shows,stars,artists etc. - this book offers different gateways into contemporary South Korea and what drives it.
Also highlighted is the global influence,with a focus on eight cities from around the world (including London,Paris,Berlin,Toronto,New York and L.A.) that have embraced this dynamic culture. This book is a stunning,informative and fun handbook to the Korean Wave.
