Hallyu – the Korean Wave – is the astonishing phenomenon of pop music, TV, film and gaming that has swept across Asia, into the Middle East and into the West since the beginning of this millennium. It has made South Korea the coolest, hippest country in Asia, and Psy its most famous ambassador. But what lurks behind the country’s successes – the glittery visage of hallyu, the leading consumer brands and the renowned academic prowess of Korean students? What kind of society also results in world leadership in cosmetic surgery and young suicides? Does Korean contemporary literature hold the answers?...     Source: http://asiahouse.org/events/k-lit-age-korean-cool/
