Park Hae-Jin to open his own channel on Weibo

Heartthrob actor Park Hae-Jin will become the first Korean star to have his own channel on China's Weibo V+.

The Chinese microblogging website Sino Weibo has asked Park to open his very own channel on its online broadcasting network Weibo V+. The channel "Park Hae-Jin V+" is scheduled to begin airing in early April.

The "Park Hae-Jin V+" channel is expected to air live broadcasts and various other video content related to the Korean idol star.

The Weibo V+ project involving Park is widely seen here as a meaningful step in relations between South Korea and China which put on unofficial bans on Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, content for more than a year until late last year over the so-called "THAAD dispute" between the two countries.
