Series, KPOP and computer games from South Korea conquering the world

Series, KPOP and computer games from South Korea conquering the world. That's the title of Gazeta Wyborcza's article. I came across this text quite recently. You can read the whole thing on the newspaper's website. It is available free of charge. I recommend. What sort of Korea it says? Cetainly not about Korea as a manufacturer of cars or phones. We're talking about a completely different sphere of life, namely we're talking about Korean pop culture. You don't know? Oh no ... I think that everybody knows Gangam Style ...which broke all records on youtube. The creators of the portal had to increase views limits, the program started freaking out and instead of adding, it started to subtract from the number of views. Gangam style achieved an impressive result of 2.32 milliard views.
But Korea has much more to offer. Gangam style is not the only Korean hit known throughout the world, or at least beyond the borders of this country within the Asian continent.
Koreans quickly understood that pop culture is an area that can be great advertisement of the country and can be a great marketing product supporting the development of large corporations and Korean brands. Development of pop culture has become a springboard for the country, which is appreciated not only in the world but attracts also people from afar.

I must admit that I am fascinated by the way of action of the entertainment industry in Korea, where great discipline reign. The prospects are far-reaching, and the birth of stars or singers or actors are not random.
