ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Minute

Available for over a year

Kris White, a choreographer at the famous 1Million dance studio tells us why more than 70% of its students come from overseas. It's one of hundreds of academies in the capital Seoul, which Visit Korea says are attracting thousands of dance fans from around the world, every year. It's the latest South Korean craze to take the world by storm. The country's cultural wave - known as the 'Hallyu' - has rolled through Asia and the world for decades. One of the country's biggest cultural global exports is K-pop supported by a billion dollar investment fund set up by the government.
