Allentown, PA, August 21, 2024 --(PR.com)-- KDrama Tours proudly announces its official launch as the premier tour company exclusively offering immersive experiences for fans of Korean dramas, capitalizing on the global phenomenon known as the "Hallyu Wave."

About the Hallyu Wave
The "Hallyu Wave," or "Korean Wave," refers to the global popularity of South Korean culture, including K-Pop, fashion, beauty, and wellness, and even cuisine. Over the past decade, the Hallyu Wave has grown exponentially. In recent years with the availability to watch K-Dramas on streaming services such as Netflix, Korean dramas are continuing the charge. Recent statistics show that international viewership of Korean dramas has increased by over 200% in the past five years, with streaming platforms reporting millions of hours watched worldwide. Popular series like Crash Landing on You, Squid Game, and recently Queen of Tears have become global sensations, attracting dedicated fan bases from Asia to the Americas and Europe.

"The global growth of K-Dramas has been nothing short of remarkable, and we are thrilled to launch KDrama Tours to bring fans even closer to the stories they love," said Steven Simao, Founder and CEO of KDrama Tours.
