Sipping on soju in between piping-hot slurps of ramyeon; being piggy-backed by your ‘oppa’ as he walks along the trail of cherry blossoms on a snowy evening; racing to the nearest Life 4 Cuts photo booth to capture the evening of your life in four to six, emoticons-filled frames — these are three essential elements from some of the most successful K-Dramas. Lucky for those of us living the South Korean dream in Mumbai, the city is now dotted with spaces catering to the proliferating K-drama and K-pop fandom. The newest additions take a departure from the rise in South Korean restaurants and stalls to introduce K-services like clothes, accessories, and a photo booth.

On a Saturday at noon, this writer reaches Mahavir Nagar in Kandivali, known for its unique street food stalls and kiosks. This popular market now has a connection with this fast-emerging Korean fandom universe — Korean Point that serves Korean noodles; K-Town, which is known for its all types of cheesy corn dogs, and K-Pose, a self-photo studio (like Life 4 Cuts across South Korea). All three spaces are a few months old; the latest is the photobooth that opened in January.
