With the Hallyu Wave sweeping up new fans around the world at full momentum, it has been reported that Google has plans to set up a Youtube channel exclusively featuring Korean pop music. In a report by the Wall Street Journal, it was announced that Google's exec chairman Eric Schmidt has flown to Seoul to meet with several executives of various major IT companies in Korea. Smidth is scheduled to hold a press conference on Tuesday, and is anticipated to announce further plans regarding the company's relations with Korea outside of music. "Judging by the response to a recent series of K-pop concerts around the world, that'll get plenty of interest online," the Wall Street Journal reports, noting SNSD's English fluency in an interview conducted after SMTOWN's Madison Square Garden concert in New York last month. With the growing presence of K-pop on Youtube, this move should come as no surprise. Though no further details or official announcements have been made, this move will prove significant to furthering the advances of the Hallyu wave worldwide. Source: Wall Street Journal
