South Korea is a country that has steadily been garnering the love and attention of many people for many years. With multiple diverse offerings in every aspect including culture, technology, travel, and more, Korea appeals to the tastes of many. Hallyu (the Korean wave - including K-Pop, K-Drama, K-Beauty, etc.) has also significantly contributed to the growing spotlight on the country.
As a result, many have grown an adoration for the country and moved here to pursue various dreams. At Kpopmap, we have been covering the lives of those who have traveled or moved to Korea in pursuit of a special experience.
Have you ever watched a Korean commercial, advertisement, music video, or any other piece of K-Content featuring foreign talent? Have you ever wondered about them and their stories?

Stay tuned to Kpopmap to read our "Influencers in Korea" series that will be published as of Thursday, Nov. 2 every week for 5 parts.
