How Korean Culture Went Global | Throughline

Описание: From BTS to Squid Game to high-end beauty standards, South Korea reigns as a global exporter of pop culture and entertainment. How does a country go from a war-decimated state just 70 years ago, to a major driver of global soft power? Through war, occupation, economic crisis, and national strategy, comes a global phenomenon - the Korean wave.

CORRECTION
In a previous version of this video, one photograph in the illustration above had a contradictory caption which suggested that the photo was taken in Korea but may show Japanese women, based on their dress. The image has been replaced.
