China’s CCTV is reporting that more and more couples in Asia are flocking to South Korea in order to have their engagement photos captured on the sets of Korean drama TV shows. These shoots can cost upwards of $4,000 — at least four times more than the shoots would cost in other countries.
The couple featured in the segment above traveled to South Korea to do their shoot on the set of the popular fantasy romance TV show My Love From the Star:

CCTV is also reporting that China’s wedding industry is booming: it has been seeing a 5.1% annual growth compared to 1.9% in the United States.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
