GMK Hallyu

_ Hallyu (한류 in Korean) means “The Korean Wave”._

It refers to the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s.
With this set, designer Bidulomachin wanted to pay a tribute to Korea’s pop culture through:

• Hangul sublegends

• Bright colors on a darker background to symbolize night life and party spirit, and to represent the wave with the gradient

• Different icons : each one representing one aspect of Korea and its pop culture :

  • Korean cinema and k-drama (clapperboard icon) /
  • food (bimbap bowl icon) /
  • k-pop music (finger heart icon) /
  • Korean alcoholic drink (bottle of soju icon) /
  • Korean beauty, skincare and makeup (eyelash icon).
