Of course, without the help of Kpop stars, this would never be achieved. Hooray for Seoul! Seoul became the number 1 desired vacation spot for people living in China, Japan, and Bangkok. Already you can tell why. A lot of these countries are fans of Kpop, and many kpop stars go to these countries to perform.

I can already figure out some contributing factors. Mainly, the advertisement Infinitely Yours is definitely the biggest reason. In addition, people in Japan, would come because of DBSK and BoA. DBSK is so widely known in Japan, it’s crazy! They have held the biggest concerts in Japan, such as the Tokyo Dome, and a lot more. Only the biggest stars get to perform in big stages like that!

China’s favorite group must be Super Junior M. Super Junior M has 3 chinese members and that group was meant to be a Chinese group. Super Junior M keep saying that Hankyung is like the Goo Joon Pyo of China, and he was even offered the role for the Chinese version of Boys Over Flowers, but he turned it down because of his activities with Super Junior M.

Other groups like Big Bang, SNSD, SS501 are also known to be quite popular as well. As a result of all these groups and their roots in Korea, many fans want to go to their idol’s country to feel perhaps attached to them? I know our lovely, Jinra, went to Korea too! Seoul is such a great country. There are many things to do such as experiencing and visiting the old villages of Korea. Maybe you can just walk around and stop by a Ddukboggi stand, a stand where they sell hot spicy rice cakes or some shaved ice with fruits and icecream! I can’t forget to mention Korean Barbeque too! In Korea, they eat so many different, tasty meats it’s amazing! Seoul is a place I want to revisit. Hopefully that time comes soon!

Note: It seems like lots of these international artists are from SM Entertainment. Even the groups that were in the commercial, Infinitely Yours were from SM. Go SM!
