Korean pop or K-pop culture has truly become a global phenomenon. With BTS being the first ever Korean pop act to receive a Grammy nomination (and speaking at both the UN and White House) and Parasite being the first Korean language movie to win an Academy award, this global K-pop wave looks unstoppable and continues to grow in popularity.

The world's fascination with K-pop is also helping to drive interest in Korean culinary culture and cuisine. It's no surprise that Korean-style fried chicken and barbecue restaurants are popping up across major cities around the world. Our exploration of this wonderful cuisine has just begun.
