한-라오스 내년 수교 30주년, 라오스 내 한류의 열기는?

Every week we connect live to a correspondent overseas to fill us in on K-culture news in their respective countries. They have been selected based on their love and interest in Korean culture. Today, we will go over to Southeast Asia. South Korea and Laos celebrate 30 years of diplomatic relations next year. Over the past three decades the two countries have expanded cooperation and exchanges in many areas, including the economy, culture and education.
