K-things
Hello! This post is just a ramble about various Korean things; much different from my normal photography posts.
Has anybody else noticed the booming popularity of Korean dramas and K-pop? If you spend a reasonable amount of time on the web, chances are you've probably seen something about at least one of these in passing.
I had a burst of interest in Korea that started last year, about when I begam researching the Korean War. In general, I like learning about different countries and their cultures, and Korea is no exception. I've even read a few blogs by people from the US who went to teach English there, and I found them really fascinating!
Now, I don't listen to a lot of K-pop but I have found a Korean band that I enjoy listening to called.Akdong Musician. It's a brother-sister duo. I don't know Korean, but they songs just sound so happy and cute! ^__^
As far as Korean dramas, I haven't seen much. I watched a few episodes of Dream High after reading Bub'z blog ( http://www.bubzbeauty.com/diary/40-dream-high.html ) and I liked it! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to watch much of it.
Sometime this year, I want to see what all the hype is about the movie "Boys Over Flowers". Again, this is another thing I've heard mentioned by Lindy from bubzbeauty. I've never seen anything with Lee Min-Ho in it before. Have any of you guy seen it?
Another Korean thing I've come across is seaweed chips. I came across them at Target here in the US, and I allllmoost bought them. I don't know that I've ever eaten seaweed, and I'm curious to see how it tastes. I definitely want to try some this year.
What are some of your favorite Korean things?
