Thousands of people attended a Korean culture, businesses and products event in Toronto this weekend.

The exhibition at Meridian Hall marks the first time K-EXPO has been held in North America. In previous years, it was held in France, Indonesia and Vietnam.

"It looks so otherworldly," he said. "That translates to their culture, food and media as well."
