Not just Gangnam Style we would like to introduce other music of K-Pop to the Indian audience. Korean Pop has a huge variety of music and dance. K-POP is a world phenomenon which seems to be missing in India, although we have already grown from 30 entries to 80 entries we are hoping to make it bigger each year. Korean Cultural Center at Lajpat Nagar in Delhi also offers huge library of K pop songs, DVDs, films and drama” says Mr. Kim Kum Pyoung, Director of Korean Cultural Centre India.
