Hallyu museum to open near Incheon Airport

A Hallyu museum is being established to help visitors experience everything about their favorite K-Pop stars and Hallyu actors/actresses.

The 85,400 sq ft museum will open in the second half of 2012 in the International Business Complexof the Incheon Airport. As the museum is near the airport, it will not only serve to spread Hallyu culture to travelers, but it will also make it easier for tourists to visit.

The Hallyu museum will track every moment of global Korean stars like Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, B2ST, and SHINee, in addition to actors/actresses like Jang Geun Suk, Hyun Bin, andKim Tae Hee. On top of dramas and music, the museum will also showcase Korean food and fashion, allowing visitors to see, hear, and feel the contents of Hallyu.

One representative for the museum stated, “The Hallyu wave that is blowing throughout the world is raising the Korean brand, more so than the Olympics and World Cup. The museum will help contribute to economic development as it will continue to attract tourists and locals to see Hallyu in one look.”
