What can I say is all items from korea will get response from people all over the world. it is a symptom of Korean wave. But did you know why all of this happens and why from day to day it is more spread? Actually the leader of Korean wave is their idol group or better known as k-pop group. They have so many groups in Korea but the best group for me is Shine, Big Bang, and Girl Generation.
The first group is Big Bang. . It is a South Korean male band under the management of YG Entertainment. Formed in 2006, Big Bang has grown to become one of the most successful Asian acts in the world. The group consists of G.Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri. Big Bang is known for their unique urban-originated music and fashion style. The members' involvement in composing and producing their own music. In 2011 BigBang come back with Big Show concert and the album Tonight. The album also became the very first K-pop album to reach the Top 10 on US iTunes chart and is the only non-English language album in the Top 100. The most memorable for this group is when their won the 2011 MTV EMA's "Best Worldwide Act" award as representatives of the Asia-Pacific region with over 58 million votes. Since their release of Alive in 2012, Big Bang has received recognition from notable sites such as Rolling Stone, Ebony Magazine, Time Magazine, and a photo was featured on the Grammy Awards homepage.

For the horn section, there are two alto saxophones, two tenor saxophones, and one baritone saxophone; trumpets and flugelhorns; trombones and bass trombone.

    Korea lies in the eastern part of Asia. This peninsula is divided into two countries: North Korea and South Korea. Although there is a division of landscape, government, and culture, the bulk of people in Korea consider themselves a part of the Korean nation. Regardless of that, the countries do have their differences. The entire peninsula is cut off from Northeast China by rugged mountains and sizable rivers (Rowntree 365). The north suffers from heavy deforestation, however it has more natural resources. The south has made extensive reforestation efforts post WWII and so they have more greenery. In terms of culture, there are more intense differences. In the South, k-pop and Korean drams have gone global. The culture has appealed to people worldwide. Meanwhile, North Korea remains somewhat in isolation. What’s more, North Koreans attempt to flee into Northeast China, quite often. Yet no one flees South Korea. This shows that there are different cultures and levels of comfort in each…

    Freshness is also an important element of Korean dramas that attracts Japanese. I think that this can be also applied to Hong Kong audience. As the plots and themes of local Hong Kong mainstream drama are always alike, audiences can easily predict the flow and ending of the dramas. While Hong Kong audiences are bored by the similar stories, Korea dramas provide them with different themes, scenes and cinematographic techniques, which can increase their interest in these foreign dramas. Besides freshness, the original ‘watching dramas’ habit of Hong Kong people also help enhancing the import of Korean dramas to Hong Kong. Knowing that many Hong Kong audiences are addicted to dramas, paid television companies have set up many channels which are specially for playing different dramas day and night. Therefore, there are great demands for buying dramas from other countries, as there are not enough local drama productions to fulfill the request of different audiences.…

    It is now a well attested fact that the piracy industry is nearly as large and organized as any other formal corporate industrial field and its magnitude is not a matter of shock and surprise anymore. There is substantial statistical backup conforming to the above fact. (Kiesla, 2011) The position of the uninstitutionalised sector of movie piracy goes unnoticed amidst the clash of the titans. The pirate electronic culture in India has its own set of idiosyncrasies. Compared to the broader international piracy sector, it is largely unorganized and cannot really be termed as an ‘industry’ in the contemporary corporate sense of the term. “It is driven by innovation, ad-hoc discovery, and electronic survival strategies.” (Sundaram, 2001)…
