Keya Rana: How Korean Culture Became a Major Part바카라 웹사이트of바카라 웹사이트My바카라 웹사이트Life
I was in class 8 when I first heard about K-pop and K-dramas. Whether it was recess time or on my way to school, my friends kept talking about Korean 'things'. They were big fans of K-pop bands such as BTS, Black Pink and TXT. I was naïve and had never heard about these artistes, but I slowly started reading about them, listening to their songs. I slowly grew fond of them. 'Dynamite' and 'Butter' were blockbuster hits. After persuading my mother, she allowed me to watch the popular drama It's Okay to Not Be Okay, starring Kim Soo-Hyun and Seo Yea-ji in the lead. The actress' fashion sense in the drama was fabulous. This is how I got introduced to Korean culture. And it is said, the rest is history. From the glass skin of the Koreans, their straight hair to Korean cuisine, I used to eat, breathe and sleep Korean 'things'. Since I am from a small town, I could not find Korean food or dresses for over two years. But as Korean culture has now swept our country, I can find some Korean items in Patna too. The glass skin has become so popular that every other girl uses rice water for skin. Whenever I visit Mumbai, I make it a point to visit Lokhandwala as the market there offers a variety of dresses-from miniskirts and stel colour dresses to boots and Korean makeup items. I am fond of oversized shirts and T-shirts that have become a fashion trend among all my friends. The same goes for Korean food as Mumbai has plenty of restaurants that serve delicious Korean cuisine. I am especially fond of 'Arirang: The Taste of Korea', a café that not only caters the best cuisine but has seating arrangements that remind customers of the many K-dramas I have seen.
