520    In recent years, Korean popular culture has taken the form
       of a tidal wave sweeping over the West. 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. 
       Even before Squid Game and the award-winning film Parasite,
       K-pop had become a $5 billion industry and Korean food had
       become the exciting new regional cuisine in restaurants 
       and bars. K Culture will reveal all aspects of South 
       Korea's way of life, both historically and in its new 
       found fame. 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.
