Indian - specially youth are getting hugely attracted towards the cuisine & culture,  music & drama of Korea. Korean Culture Centre situated in Lajpat Nagar Delhi is not only playing a great role in popularizing Korean culture by organizing seminars & workshops at regular intervals  but the Centre has also become a hub of such activities by providing opportunities of learning & training to Indian youth.

The northeast of India has had a long history of being Seoul-stirred but K-craze is fanning out almost all over the country including South. Internet groups with a monstrous member list bind the K-fans together as do Korean Culture Centre meets across cities where K-fans meet.

If one throws the K-word at any K-fan, one can watch genie emerging from the bottle. They will start narrating about how they have learnt the language so that they can watch K-dramas, K-films without resorting to sub-titles, how they sing along to their favourite songs. 

The demography of the K-constituency is predominantly the teen and mid-twenties age group, and almost overwhelmingly female.

But please do not underestimate the power of word-of-mouth publicity in the spread of Korean wave even in the age of social media. This publicity has played a huge role in forwarding the popularization of K-pop and K-drama.
