    I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of Kpop but it is catchy and I encounter it all the time. This video really got me thinking of the value of pop culture, thank you for making it!
    Could you include links to the various videos you referenced? I discovered this video as an optional resource in my class. And while I was able to find the videos discussed, it may benefit future viewers and students.

      Very stupid wishful thinking, it is not a myth anymore how bad it is after the 2030 World Expo bid result that has shown the non-popularity of Korean Kpop, Kdrama, "Gangnam Style"s' shake, shake, twist, twist, dance, and dance totally Westernized non -local boring cultures!
      Out of 165 votes Korea was 29 against its opponent Riyakh 119, despite the over 500 days to over 100 cities' desperate promotions with the all-out performance of all the popular Korean celebrities including one from the "Octopus Game".
      Who cares much about those now? Look as if only the Western countries are popping their allies up for wishful popularities. In recent years, there have been over 100 K Drama, and K Variety shows which have been completed and couldn't find any buyers.

    I’ve been addicted to KDramas since 2011 - they are the TV shows I mainly watch. I got into them looking for live-action anime from Japan. You know what? I couldn’t FIND JDramas!!!! Not even on Crunchy Roll! As any anime fan who suffered thru the 90s can tell you, Japan is not known to market internationally very well. Korea on the other hand actively promotes its entertainment worldwide.
    Would have been nice to actually see those videos BTW. I have BTW seen both before.

    K Content fans show consumption patterns that even Koreans cannot understand. Koreans usually comparing and choose a few contents and we enjoy it for a while and forget it quickly. But overseas K-Content fans love and remember every K Contents. They have long drama / movie lists. They have already memorized every song in the chart, and now they are activating old-fashioned content that has been forgotten.
    Just because I like the Beatles doesn't mean I like the British food they eat, but K fans do.
    In the vlog I saw recently, a Polish K fan visited an Austrian friend to tour and ate Korean food, not Austrian food. And in return, an Austrian friend visited Poland and held a party with K food, not Polish food
    And the two men said in Korean that they appreciate and love each other.
    In Korean culture, we can say we love each other among same-sex friends. But I guess in commonsense, it's impossible in their culture.
    Anyway, they understood Korean culture and using Korean words and K-food for communications. a strange but joyful and pleasant phenomenon

    Although Korean government fostered growth of Korean pop culture in the early 2000’s, the success of Korean entertainment including Kpop is primarily driven by private industry. But I think North Korean pop culture is light years ahead of South Korea. 😂
