Thanks to the global streaming platforms Netflix, YouTube and Viu ― a Hong Kong-based over-the-top (OTT) provider serviced in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa ― the popularity of Korean entertainment, especially K-dramas, continues to soar in Thailand.
K-dramas have become trendy, everyday conversation starters for many people in the Southeast Asian country. And recently, they have also begun to move in on the local podcast scene, according to a recent report by Bang Ji-hyun, a correspondent in Thailand for the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE).
One such podcast is Korseries Podcast launched in December last year by Thailand s popular Korean entertainment news website Korseries.com.
