When young Manipuri men and women secretly send romantic text messages to each
other on their cellphones, they write No-rul sarang hae Korean for I love
you.
A ban on Hindi films and TV shows by Manipurs militants has had an unexpected
effect. Korean films and soaps have become the new rage, with posters of Korean
stars like Gweon Sang-woo, Cha Tae-hyun, Jeon Ji Hyun and Jung Da Bin replacing
those of Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai in shops and in
homes.
Korean films are popular because they come the closest to Bollywoods action
and drama flicks. They do have English subtitles for the local audience.
Young Manipuris are now using snatches of Korean in their everyday lives.
Dont be surprised if you hear them say Cho ah hey yo (I like it) or Kwen
chah nah yo (Its okay). I love using such phrases because our elders wont
know what Ive written, says 16-year-old Gary Th.
Current Korean hits in Manipur include My Girl And I, You Are My Sunshine and
Wolfs Temptation, while Korean TV shows on cookery, culture and music are also
popular. DVDs of Korean films are smuggled in through the border town of Moreh.
