Hallyu Wave

Since the late 1990's, the rise of popularity of the South Korean culture is known as the Korean wave, or the Hallyu wave. At first, the popularity was raised through Korean dramas known as K-dramas. Currently, the Korean wave as flowed all over the world. Even in Canada, the Korean wave has overwhelmed the population.
Currently, the K-dramas have been replaced with K-pop. This genre of music is characterized by many different music genres, but all fall under the category of K-pop. The main source of popularity for K-pop are its many bands. There are boy bands, as well as girl bands. However, most of these bands do not play different instruments as you might imagine. Majority of these groups sing, and dance to their songs. Members of these groups are known for being handsome or pretty as well as multi-talented in music, or acting. 

These bands are only a few of the many girl and boy bands in Korea. These singers promote themselves through their social media as well as magazines and newspapers. Not only are these band members singers, but they are also called idols.
The Hallyu wave has hit most of the world through its K-pop and even earning a few spots on the Billboard music charts. In the future, the Hallyu wave will only continue to spread to the rest of the world.
