Outlook

Available for over a year

Heba is a young Iraqi woman living in Baghdad, but her heart belongs in South Korea. By her own admission, she is obsessed. And she's not alone. In fact, there's a whole group of people in Baghdad who adore Korean culture, and who get together in person and online to share their love of Korean music and videos. They call themselves the Iraq Korea Sarangbang. She told Jo Fidgen her story. The clip from the Korea TV drama is from the Left-handed wife, which was directed by Kim Myeong-Mook and produced by Pan Entertainment. (Photo credit:Getty Images/tawatchaiprakobkit.)
