Koo Enjoying High Popularity in Taiwan

Koo Hye-sun, one of South Korea's top actresses, is enjoying a surge in popularity in Taiwan as a hallyu (Korean wave) star thanks to her starring role in the KBS-TV drama ``Boys Over Flowers,'' which closed in March.

YG Entertainment, Koo's agency, said Friday that Koo is being wooed in Taiwan to appear in dramas and music videos.

Even before ``Boys Over Flowers,'' Koo won fame in Taiwan as she starred in hit dramas such as ``The King and I'' and ``Pure in Heart.''

Koo received a warm welcome from Taiwanese fans during her visit last month.
