{"product_id":"9781837830879","title":"K Culture : K-pop, Cuisine, On Screen, And More - Celebrating The Korean Wave by Simon Clair","description":"Celebrate Korean culture whilst learning about its past and present in this stunning and fascinating guide.    In recent years, Korean popular culture has taken the form of a tidal wave sweeping over the West. Whether it's music, film, drama series, fashion or cuisine, South Korea is establishing itself as a key player on the world stage. And the Korean Wave (Hallyu) shows no sign of stopping. Even before Squid Game and the award-winnning film Parasite, K-pop had become a $5 billion industry and Korean food had become the exciting new regional cuisine in restaurants and bars. K Culture will reveal all aspects of South Korea's way of life, both historically and in its new found fame. Including sections on K-pop bands, cinema, drama, art, comics, food, fashion and night-life, with features within each section on the best films, shows, stars, artists etc. - this book offers different gateways into contemporary South Korea and what drives it.  Also highlighted is the global influence, with a focus on eight cities from around the world (including London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, New York and L.A.) that have embraced this dynamic culture. This book is a stunning, informative and fun handbook to the Korean Wave.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43409003020466,"sku":"9781837830879","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781837830879.jpg?v=1699095676","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781837830879","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
