The Korean Wave (Hangul: 한류; hanja: 韓流; RR: Hallyu; MR: Hallyu) is a neologism referring to the increase in the popularity of South Korean culture since the late 1990s. The term was originally coined in mid-1999 by Beijing journalists who were surprised by China's growing appetite for South Korean cultural exports. They subsequently referred to this new phenomenon as "Hánliú" (韓流), which literally means "flow of Korea".
The Korean Wave is based on many different aspects of South Korean culture, such as:
- Popular music, also known as "K-pop"
- Dramas, or "K-dramas"
- Language
- Technology, including smartphones and automobiles
- Animated comics and films
- Cuisine
Pada intinya, Korean Wave atau Hallyu adalah tersebarnya kebudayaan Korea Selatan ke seluruh dunia. Yang pada periode belakangan ini terutama disebarluaskan oleh K-Pop dan K-Drama. Dan karena K-Pop dan K-Drama ini begitu populer di seluruh dunia, maka seolah terjadi penyempitan makna Hallyu, dimana Hallyu sering diartikan sebagai K-Pop dan K-Drama saja.
Berikutnya, kami akan membahas secara lebih detail mengenai berbagai macam budaya serta berita tentang kebudayaan Korea Selatan, terutama yang berhubungan dengan K-Pop dan K-Drama. Nantikan!
