According to a thorough data analysis carried out by the Culture Ministry and Korea Tourism Organization, K-pop, K-food, K-beauty, and K-content are the most often used terms by international visitors to Korea.

The analysis was based on information acquired from a group of foreigners from 20 nations who frequently visited Korea between June 2020 and May 2023.

K-content was most popular in the Philippines and Indonesia, and K-beauty was most popular in China, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

The US, China, and Turkey were interested in K-food, while for K-pop, France and Indonesia reigned.

Between 2020 and 2021, the average number of K-pop-related mentions in France tripled, to 44,016 per month in 2021.

From January to May 2023, the average monthly figure soared to 70,033.

A 2019 survey of international visitors also revealed that whereas K-pop fans prefer to concentrate mostly on K-pop-related activities, K-food fans are more likely to experience a variety of activities during their trips.

This includes shopping, culinary tourism, and taking in the local scenery.

The data also includes cities that foreign visitors to Korea commonly visit and explore, providing information on well-liked areas.

Seoul’s Jung-gu, Incheon’s Jung-gu, Seoul’s Gangnam-gu, Mapo-gu, and Jongno-gu were the top 5 most visited neighborhoods in Korea.
