The Hallyu craze in India has been intensified by the 10-month lockdown last year. Netflix definitely came to the aid of many as it had many old and new titles to whet the appetite of Indians. Now K-dramas have become the norm rather than an exception if you consider the consumption history of people in India in the last couple of months.

Daler Mehendi had once revealed that his song ‘Tunak Tunak Tun’ is hugely popular in South Korea. That isn't false at all as BTS's RM too sang it once. It also finds a place in a lot of Korean Dramas. In You Are Beautiful, Park Shin-Hye even danced to the song.
