Korean culture is really exciting right now. The Korean Wave is sweeping Asian countries including
China. Young people are going crazy about Korean pop songs and the Korean language. The Korean Wave
started a few years ago with the TV programmes "Winter Sonata" (冬季恋歌). This love story is still popular.
People, especially girls, like the beautiful story and handsome actors like Bae Young Jun.(裴勇俊)
In the music world, Korean girls are making themselves heard in China. You can often find big Korean
names like Baby Vox, S.E.S. and Finkle at the top of the Chinese music charts (排行榜).The Korean Wave
has also made young people want to try the clothes and hairstyles of pop stars, too. Not only that now some
girls in China are having plastic surgery (整容) to change the way they look. People say some beautiful
Korean stars have had plastic surgery. These stars don't make plastic look shameful (丢了面子).
