While some events, such as the immigration of the first Korean community to Mexico in 1905, have been erased from Mexico’s official history (the historical debt is still being addressed), there is no arguing that the friendly relationship between the two countries is growing stronger every day as they find common ground.Korea has increasingly expanded its influence through its culture and entertainment industry to bring down the borders, and its music and TV series, especially the drama and action genres, have been favored by Latin American audiences, including Mexico. Latin American audiences have long been influenced by the United States in their approach to universal hu...

Writer Hahn Moo-Sook, who lived in the modern era of the 1900s, was the person closest to the definition of the word “celebrity” back then, when such a word was unfamiliar to the public.

Then, Haeundae pops up, as it is the best beach in Busan. There’s a hill named “Dalmaji-gil Road” in one corner of Haeundae beach.

On this hill, which gives off a unique vibe just by its name, there’s a hidden place that only a few know. It is “The Library of Mystery Literature,” which is said to be the one and only library specializing in mystery fiction in both Korea and the world. The combination of the moon, sea, hill, and mystery makes us feel as if we have come inside a novel already. Excited to find out what kind of ...
