| Summary/Abstract |
Korea’s rapid economic transformation from being one of the poorest countries during the 1950s to becoming a member of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1996 surprised the world, and is often considered the ‘Miracle on the Han River’. Within a period of a few decades, Korea became an economic powerhouse and one of the largest producers and exporters of steel, ships, automobiles, cell phones, etc. In recent years Hallyu or the ‘Korean Wave’ has taken the world by surprise. The term basically refers to the popularity of Korean cultural products such as Korean music, dance, dramas, movies, food, fashion, cosmetics, etc. across Asia and other parts of the world. The cultural industries have become one of the new engines of economic growth in Korea, and have been generating billions of dollars for this export-dependent country. The Korean Government has been playing an important role in the promotion of these cultural industries through cultural diplomacy. However, one country which has remained the least affected by the Korean Wave is India. Barring some areas in the north-eastern part of India where it has made some impact, the rest of the country largely remains unaware of this phenomenon. In recent years, the Korean Government has been making efforts for the promotion of the Korean Wave in India. This article analyses Korea’s cultural diplomacy efforts to spread the Korean Wave in India.

| Summary/Abstract |
The two biggest stories of 2021 in South Korea were a cutthroat presidential nomination and the nationwide outcry over soaring housing prices. Both the ruling and opposition parties had gone through a noisy and murky nomination process. In 2021, housing prices continued to rise, causing citizens’ anxiety and anger to reach their peak, and the president apologized for the failure of the real estate policy. Despite the maladministration, president Moon Jae-in, unlike previous presidents, did not become a lame duck. Meanwhile, the popularity of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, continued with the success of the movie Minari, K-pop band BTS, and the Netflix drama series Squid Game.
