   "Hallyu" is a term made to describe the gale of korean popular culture in foreign countries such as China or Japan. It first began to appear in the late 1990's when korean soap operas succeeded in China and Vietnam. While, the term "Hallyu" was actually made in 2000, when a famous korean singer group "H.O.T" made succeeded their concert in China. However, these days Hallyu is getting stagnated. The reason for recent stagnation can be found basically on two reasons. If we don't find a way to get it solved, Hallyu will soon disappear.
     The recent stagnation of Hallyu is because it being degenerated. Hallyu started when we didn't even though about it. Foreigners just began to enjoy our cultures, since our traditions were original and also because of good artistic quality of contents, not expecting for profits. However, it began to become dull when we started to care about gains and when we began to stress our nationalism in movies for example.
     Restoring Hallyu can be difficult, but it's worth a try. We must go back to the mental attitude we had when Hallyu first started. We should try to make a good artistic qualified contents, which contains generality that not even koreans can accept. The more we emphasis korean nationalism, the more severe impact will stroke Hallyu.
      Hallyu has been a significant ways to introduce our culture to the world out of Korea. However, it is now stated in a crisis being stagnated. Therefore we must do our best to recover th risk.
