Popular K-pop bands like BTS or Le Sserafim, gripping series like Squid Game and Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and the cool capital Seoul with its futuristic architecture – Korea has a lot to offer.

That’s all the more reason to engage with the language, the people, and the culture – to discover a different, forward-looking Russia. Or to explore other countries where Russian is spoken, such as Moldova or Ukraine.
