South Korea is set to launch a novel visa, known as the Hallyu visa or "K-culture training visa," tailored for fans of South Korean culture. Hallyu, or the "Korean Wave," represents the international acclaim of South Korea's cultural exports, including K-pop music, dramas, films, and other arts. While the specific requirements for the K-culture visa remain under wraps, further details are expected to be announced by the latter half of 2024. K-pop, particularly, has been a significant draw for visitors to South Korea, outshining other attractions like Korean cuisine and cultural content. With the global rise of digital nomadism, South Korea is positioning itself as a competitive destination for remote workers across various sectors.
