Korean 'Hallyu' hits MIPTV 2005 – India India is certainly a large market that Korea can
cash in on with the “Hallyu” wave. It’s already on its way to having more
people than China; I just question the obvious cultural differences. After all,
Korean actors aren’t known to sing their lines and dance around like as if they
were walking “like an Egyptian.” (J/K)
'Korean Wave' break on Cannes “Korean films are fairing well at this year's
Cannes film market, with European countries showing a special interest in Korean

Asian Film Industry Network to Launch in Sept. “South Korea will cement its position as leader
of the Asian film industry by launching a cooperative body of the regional film

Pusan Comedy to Feature Hollywood Stars “Actress Kelly Hu, best known for her portrayal
of the sexy yet deadly Yuriko from `X2,’ will join `American Pie ' star Chris

Hip-hop band Massive Tone has fans dancing, rocking “Even though the majority couldn't understand the
German lyrics, Massive Tone had everybody in Baekam Art Hall reciting in German.
The refrain ‘ja ja’ (yes, yes) was quite easy to follow, but when singer Schowi
asked the audience in German, ‘Wo geht die Party ab?’ (Where is the party?), the
audience needed a short training session before singing in accompaniment, ‘Hier
geht die Party ab!’ (Here is the party!).”
Korean Love
hotels not just for secret liaisons anymore Love hotels aren’t just for “adulterers” in Korea
anymore, they are a bargain! It’s like going to a hotel on the Vegas strip and
yet paying for a price of a hotel that is away from it. So, if you are planning
on going to Korea and want to be economical, don’t be shy about booking yourself
into a Love Hotel. They aren’t that seedy and you don’t have to actually “love”
someone in it. Just watch out for stains.
