I could get behind some more gastro-diplomacy
great vid!! the area i live in has had a lot of korean food options, glad the rest of the US is catchin up 😎
I love Korean food! I'm going to Korea again this year! Love K-Town in NYC and the growing Korean hot spots in Orlando
Maangchi is the godmother of popularizing Korean food online. She's been chugging on KZread for like over 15 years. She's one of the OG gastro-diplomats, lol.
where are you getting this information? I would love to know your sources
Channels like Eat Your Kimchi and the wave of internet Mukbangs I'm sure also made a huge impact as well. It's not all stinky or super spicy food...it's fatty, heart warming food (aka soul food) which speaks to all people. And the idea of food meant to be shared in a group means that people go in a gathering doesn't hurt!

My local HMart always has awesome produce. :)
Thailand has been doing this for quite some time as well
Korean food 👍
Let’s not forget that maany Chinese restaurants in America are owned by Koreans. Like, a ton.
Very interesting! One more thing: Psy. Not kidding. He opened the door to America's embrace of K-Pop, spawning a generation of Americans who want to learn more about Korean culture than just music (including me!).
The thing I don’t understand is though…how did a country with super advanced industries such as Semiconductor, Samsung, Hyundai decide it’s focus should be K-pop 😅

Because they realized that by growing the Korean "brand" it will lead to increased revenue across all sectors.

Because K-pop and other culture products are much cheaper to produce and reproduce and doesn't require billions of won in R&D or resource logistics. It's also much easier to sell 1 million cinema tickets in a year for a single movie than it is to sell 1 million units of a single car in a year.
Imagine India getting into gastro-diplomacy
Hmmm... I wonder how many American restaurants are in South/North Korea...
