November’s exciting lineup of K-dramas

From chart-topping music to groundbreaking dramas, the Hallyu Wave, also known as the Korean Wave has been shaking the world. The Korean entertainment and culture trend is so contagious that supporters keep growing rapidly worldwide. From learning hangul for fun to wearing hanbok as a costume, it has become safe to say many Nigerians are Koreans by culture or practice. The Hallyu Wave has been sweeping across continents heavily.

The most affordable way to hop on the fast Hallyu train is to take the K-drama or K-pop route. After all, to hop on a plane to Seoul in 2024 costs millions of naira. However, listening to Rosé’s ATP, Lisa’s Moonlit Floor, or even Jennie’s Mantra only costs you a few megabytes.
