'Squid Game,' Park Bo-gum and K-pop: Korea continues to attract tourists with K-content
Government collaborates with Netflix and K-pop creators in its push to reach 30 million visitors by 2027 Clad in the iconic green tracksuit from 'Squid Game,' Ria dashes through South Korean landmarks, pursued by guards in pink jumpsuits. But this isn't a teaser for a new season of the global Netflix sensation — it's a tourism promotion video that has racked up more than 11 million views since its release on July 3. In another campaign leveraging the popularity of 'All of Us Are Dead,' two high school students and Jason, a friend turning into a zombie, take viewers through major tourist attractions, blending the show's zombie survival theme with explorations of scenic spots. The videos are part of a broader strategy that taps into the global appeal of Korean pop culture to attract international visitors. Park Bo-gum, who recently starred in "When Life Gives You Tangerines," appears in three separate tourism videos, including a music video for 'On My Way.' Performed by Park, 'On My Way' is the result of a collaboration between the Korea Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the K-pop industry. The track was composed by Kenzie, Andrew Choi, No2zcat, JSONG (Oceancave) and Kim Yoohyun. Kenzie, who also wrote the lyrics, is a prolific K-pop producer behind dozens of hits, while Andrew Choi provided vocals as Jinwoo, a member of the fictional idol group Saja Boys in Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters." Park said that one of his favorite places is the area surrounding Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung. 'But I hope you'll also explore regions outside of Seoul. I'd especially recommend Busan, where I recently filmed 'Good Boy,' he added. He also recommended Seoul's public bike-sharing service, Seoul Bike, officially known as Ddareungi. 'I love riding a Ddareungi along the Han River,' the actor said. 'If you haven't tried it yet, I'd really like to introduce you to it.' This year's campaign also includes two videos promoting Korea's regional charm — one spotlighting the Gyeongsang region and another focused on the Jeolla provinces. The video on Gyeongsang captures the energy and cultural richness of the North and South Gyeongsang provinces through a modern reinterpretation of the traditional sword dance, "geommu." Meanwhile, the video on Jeolla provinces showcases the region's serene natural beauty through "seungmu," a meditative and graceful dance. Both videos are set to a fusion of traditional and modern music. Through these new videos, the campaign aims to showcase the regions' cultural and scenic appeal while highlighting areas still healing from hardship, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. These two regions were the sites of tragic incidents last year: wildfires that lasted for 10 days in South Gyeongsang Province in March and a plane crash in Muan-gun, South Jeolla Province, in December that killed all but two on board. First launched in 2015, South Korea's tourism promotional videos, featuring top celebrities such as BTS, Lee Jung-jae and NewJeans, have drawn increasing global attention, particularly following the breakout success of the "Feel the Rhythm of Korea" series in 2020. The series has since become a cultural phenomenon, with its videos collectively amassing over 240 million views across multiple platforms. BTS also appeared on several 'Feel the Rhythm of Korea' videos in 2022, which reached over 230 million views on YouTube less than three weeks after their release. Last year, South Korea welcomed approximately 16.37 million overseas visitors, a 48.4 percent increase from the previous year and reaching 94 percent of the pre‑COVID‑19 peak of around 17.5 million in 2019, according to the KTO. The country aims to attract 18.5 million overseas visitors this year, up 13 percent from 2024. By 2027, Korea hopes to welcome 30 million international visitors annually by expanding cultural exports and enhancing tourism infrastructure across the country.

Head Over Heels episode 12 release date and time: Will Gyeon Woo find Seong Ah or will Bong Su take control for good in finale?
Head Over Heels episode 12 release date and time: As Head Over Heels prepares to drop its twelfth and final episode, fans are bracing themselves for an emotional farewell to one of 2025's most enchanting K-dramas. Since its premiere on June 23, the series has slowly unravelled a heartwarming supernatural love story, blending high school drama with spiritual folklore and heartfelt performances. Anchored by Cho Yi Hyun (All of Us Are Dead) and Choo Young Woo (Mercy for None), the drama's unique love story has turned it into a hit. Whether it was Gyeon Woo's cursed fate, Seong Ah's double life as a shaman, or the spirit world's rules constantly shifting under their feet, Head Over Heels never let up on the drama. Now, with one episode left, the intrigue has reached its peak. Will love conquer fate, or will destiny take its due? What is Head Over Heels about? Head Over Heels follows Park Seong Ah, a high schooler who lives a double life as 'Fairy Cheon Ji,' a shaman with real spiritual power. Her job is to guide lost souls and protect the living, but everything changes for her when she meets Bae Gyeon Woo, a new transfer student who's cursed by something bigger than bad luck. Instead of stepping back, Seong Ah breaks every rule in the shaman world and decides to save him. The deeper she gets, the more she uncovers about Gyeon Woo's strange fate, the spirit that's clinging to him, and how their pasts might already be connected. The drama blends high school romance with heavy supernatural energy. Rituals, possessions, ancient curses, and ghost encounters aren't just part of the background; they're central to everything. And at the heart of it all is a story about fighting fate, risking everything for love, and trying to hold on when the universe wants to pull you apart. Head Over Heels episode 11 recap In episode 11 of Head Over Heels, General Dongcheon, Yeom Hwa's spirit mother, sacrifices herself to protect her daughter from the Grim Reaper. Seong Ah, devastated but determined, decides to press on with her mission to save both Yeom Hwa and Gyeon Woo. She arranges a park date with Gyeon Woo, not as a romantic gesture but as a setup to draw out Bong-su, the spirit currently possessing him. After successfully luring the spirit, Seong Ah disappears without explanation. The story then moves forward in time, revealing Gyeon Woo as a national archery champion who still can't let go of her. Ignoring Yeom Hwa's warnings, he continues to search for Seong Ah by tracking restless spirits. Near the end, a woman identical to Seong Ah appears, kisses him, and reveals she isn't who she seems. It becomes clear that Bong Su is now using Seong-ah's face to get close to Gyeon Woo, setting up the stage for a tense and complicated finale. What to expect from Head Over Heels finale Episode 12 is expected to tie together the emotional, spiritual, and romantic threads the series has been carefully weaving. Gyeo Woo and Yeom Hwa are expected to return to the shrine in a desperate attempt to save Seong Ah's spirit. At the same time, the false Seong Ah—likely Bong-su's spirit in disguise—is growing stronger, hinting at a full takeover. There's also speculation of a stronger role for Gyeon Woo in the spirit world—possibly as a guide or protector. The final scene may jump forward again to show how their choices ripple into the future, whether or not they get a romantic reunion. Head Over Heels episode 12 release date and time Here are the zone-wise release timings for Head Over Heels episode 12 (Finale) on Tuesday, July 29, 2025: South Korea (KST) – 8:50 PM India (IST) – 5:20 PM Philippines (PHT): 8:50 PM Indonesia (WIB): 7:50 PM Thailand (ICT): 6:50 PM Japan (JST): 8:50 PM China (CST): 7:50 PM United Kingdom (BST): 12:50 PM United States (EDT): 7:50 AM United States (PDT): 4:50 AM Australia (AEST): 9:50 PM New Zealand (NZST): 11:50 PM Germany/France (CEST): 1:50 PM UAE (GST): 3:50 PM Where to watch: South Korea: tvN, TVING International: Amazon Prime Video (in available regions, usually streaming within a few hours of Korean broadcast) For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
