K-ulture


'K-ulture' is a virtual space created to spread articles, news and think pieces about South korean culture and about the country in general.
These days international popularity of South Korea has been growing and broadening to many parts of the world not just Asia, either politically and culturally.
It is a country that has experienced a huge economic development in 60 years and now is one of the most important technological exported countries. Brand such as Samsung, LG, Kia, Hyundai...are korean and they are selling all over the world.
The presence of Korean films in international festivals, the success of the korean pop group all over the asia, the sales of technology and cars, the G-20 meeting celebrated in Seoul (the capital)...demostrate the relevant position that the country is taken internationally.
And, although South Korea is one of the emergent nations and despite of its importance , no many people know about its history, politics, culture or customs. This is the beginning point where this blog idea comes from, to bring Korea closer to those who want to read or know more about it.
As my principal interests are related with the media and the culture, the blog will be focus on these topics but always keeping a broad view, showing and releasing articles about history, economy or international relations.
I invite everyone to do any coments about any topic you are interested in.
