South Korea – News, Culture and Giveaways

When talking about South Korea, a vibrant East Asian nation known for its tech innovation, pop culture and passionate sports fans. Also called 대한민국, it encompasses a mix of modern cities and historic traditions. K‑pop, the global music wave that started in South Korean entertainment agencies thrives on Seoul, the capital that hosts concerts, fashion weeks and tech expos. The country's passion for football shows up in Korean football, the domestic league and national team that compete in Asian tournaments. These three pillars – music, city life and sport – influence each other, creating a cultural ecosystem that attracts fans worldwide.
