Exports of Korean wave contents, including dramas, games and music have expanded worldwide to include Europe, South America and to the Middle East, reaching profits of three trillion won.

According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Korean wave exports have increased 18.1 percent over last year. Total sales have reached nearly 73 trillion won and have employed 532,445 people.

Korean music and expansion of Korean cultural contents in Europe and South America have driven much of the increases, with the music industry alone having increased nearly 160 percent compared to last year.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised though that music industry growth is contributed more for us instead of Japan. (I wish YesAsia and DVDHeaven published their kpop sales numbers for different countries)

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

YesAsia counts for Gaon, but not for Hanteo, which music programs use.
