The whole thing is absurd. It's just the transfer and adaptation of culture in general. There was American pop that went to Japan and became a thing then Koreans took that and mixed it up again and targeted America and global fans and it worked. It's the globalization of art. You see something similar in food. One of the craziest examples was Africans coming to southern plantations in Louisiana where there was heavy French influence. Those mixed with American culture and you got Cajun food then a hurricane hit N.O. and a bunch of Cajuns moved to Houston and brought their food and Houston has a very big Vietnamese population so they took Cajun and added Vietnamese flare to it and then they took that back to Vietnam. So in Vietnam you can now get Viet-Cajun which part African/French/American/Texan/Vietnamese/ and Cajun and it's delicious. This is exactly how this is supposed to work and it's the WHOLE FUCKING point.
Cajun food is a style of cooking that originated from the Cajun-Acadians. They were deported by the British from Acadia, a colony of New France that is now Canada. African + French in Louisiana does not equal Cajun food ,but rather Creole food. But yes, I understand your point!!!
@@bs4427 It's nothing new that white and black men hating on non-asian females who are into asian males. It's not the rural white dudes, it's actually mostly left and liberals.. I lived in the South 1/3 of the year.. and I know
@@chimakalu41 AFs with WM dont like the fact that the asian males (whom they consider are inferior to white males) are gaining popularity among white females (whom they consider are superior to asian females) It's all due to in their inferiority complex.
And you know damn well ain't anyone ever say this. It's apparently fine to go for white or black men. But if she likes a Asian man? Label her that it's a fetish and not a normal liking to a person. People can have preferences. But apparently not allowed when it's to Asian men.
yeah. how come it doesn't work the other way around? if somebody in asia loves american movies, eating american food, listens to american pop music, dresses in american fashion, learns english, dreams of living in america, would you slap a term like Americaboo on him?
Speaking from experience, if you barely mention that you are into korean culture (in a respectful way) and some people give you flack over it (from men and women) or make stank faces around you, those people aren’t your friends. It’s best to ignore them and hangout with real friends who have the same hobbies. Edit: I’m also mexican-american, and never outted another person for liking Latin culture or speaking Spanish as well, so this kind of flack definitely doesn’t sit well with me either.
As an Indian K-pop fan, i feel very offended of the word kpreaboo. What i love is no different from man all around the world liking hiphop or watching Hollywood movies. Those Incel man should stop using the koreaboo slang.
Many fans are just cringed worthy and need to realize the difference between drama world and reality. And no you do not want me to make list of the actions with such behaviour.
You Indian? Shame on you to be a kpop fan where all Indians get treated nasty in South Korea. Every person in South Korea looks down upon all Indians just only because they have darker skin. And yet you are a fan of Kpop? Shame on you. 🤮
So I was out with my friends last night at the club. It’s me and 2 of my Asian bros with 6 non Asian women and the funny thing was these girls were talking about how much they like Asian men. Man times have changed.
Same here bro, Im a part of a friend group of 6 WFs and half are with AMs including my girl who is white passing Latina. They all love AMs and guess what? They listen to K-pop. Last time we hung out, it was a pool party with a bunch of XFs (mostly WFs) and the only men were AMs. Coincidently enough, there were 2 young wasian I assume AMWF who went to the pool that day with his WF aunties. I was enjoying every moment of the party knowing how rare this is to see irl. There was a Latino group that went to the pool later and the amusement on their face was a satisfying sight. I felt such a confidence boost knowing they’re witnessing all these AMs with XFs. The halo effect is real cus the young Latina in their group kept smiling and looking at me.
sounds to me it's just a START. the fact that they talk about it like it's something to talk about, shows that it's still not the norm. like that text exchange at 12:05 on the video. liking korean guys is something weird or even derogatory? i don't see anyone saying that about liking korean or asian women. don't take it the wrong way. a lot of change still needs to be made.
This is like the deal with weeaboos. Some become obsessed. Nothing wrong being enamored with one culture but then sometimes they start devaluing other cultures with implicit bias and that's when it becomes problematic.
I couldn’t help but relate and share my own experiences. I’m a 26 y/o Taiwanese American living in the SGV and started temporarily Ubering recently. One of my most vivid recent passenger encounters was this one late night around 12AM where I picked up a guy who had been drinking with his 40~45 year old white latino brother-in-law that evening. My passenger was seated and ready to go but once his brother-in-law saw it was me who was driving he went out of his way to have a full blown conversation/rant with me about the prevalence of Asian culture, especially Korean culture, surrounding us and how his daughter has totally been absorbed by it. There wasn’t really any malice to his tone, it all was jokingly said to me, but it ultimately came off as him being petty and not being comfortable with these changes. Hell, he assumed I was Korean from the get go and proceeded to make comments about how it was practically impossible to see a “normal” looking asian back when he was growing up. The comment that really took me back was how he was joking that girls in the past would go for the “bad guys” of other ethnicities but now are going for Asian guys now for that good credit score and clean life 💀 💀 💀
Weirdly enough, Asian males are popular now. But in both Latin America and the Caribbean, there has always been Alpha Asian males with Non Asian woman. - And the woman was always totally in love with these guys., I use to see it in Flatbush Brooklyn as a kid. Either an Asian male with a Jamaican girl or an Asian male with a Cuban woman or Puerto Rican woman.
Hmmm I’ve observed that it’s a surprise to some people and I believe some people , non- Asian men, don’t understand it. As a BF who grew up in diverse settings and have diverse friends I just think men in general are beautiful. However, in terms of which ethnicity I found most attractive it was always Asian. Fast forward to today I’m learning Korean but I’ve only dated Latinos( because I speak spanish) and the moment I said I’m also into Asians the amount of disrespect and misconception towards them is crazy. I find it sad that it’s okay for men to have “ preference” or a type and give an intelligent reason, but let a woman do the same thing it’s a whole different story. I’ll give an example, I studied Spanish formally so I found myself liking Latino culture, food and their passion which made me find the men attractive and a great appreciation for the culture. That’s considered okay. Now, if I show the same respect to Korean culture, language, food and I find the men attractive, now that’s considered weird.
Why is it only white people that get that label? Koreaboo or Weeb. Half the Koreaboos and Weebs I know are Chinese or some other Asian. Yet they never get that label. And Koreans seem much more friendly to Koreaboos that are Asian than other foreigners. Even if they both speak Korean…
As an Indian🇮🇳 i don't know about it😂😂thanks for making me aware 🙏🙏🙏. Now days kdrama, Chinese drama& thai drama is also famous in India . Indian genz is so obsessed with kpop and k drama but it's ok because it's not over obsession. You can say indian girl are obsessed with kdrama and kpop and indian boy's are obsessed with Japanese🇯🇵 muse (Animae)or Japanese culture.
You're exactly correct; it's because Korean guys are getting a lot of attention globally and some people feel threatened by this. But I'm going to add...this is nothing new, and understand the Korean guys getting the attention aren't the ones being disparaged. It's the WOMEN who follow them and like them. God forbid we have Korean k-pop idols on our lock screens or that we like k-dramas (which, btw, have a LOT in common with romance novels, another often disparaged thing that women like). People....largely men....just LOVE to put down things women like that make them somehow feel threatened. I guess it's hard to compete with a k-pop idol who sings and dances and has washboard abs. Right now, k-pop and k-dramas and SK in general is experiencing a huge surge in global popularity, and girl groups like Black Pink might have started that awhile back, but it's dominated by boy groups like BTS these days, and other groups are on the rise: Stray Kids, Enhyphen, Ateez....the list goes on. People who react negatively seem to fall into two camps: 1. They "just don't understand it" or say they don't, or 2. Man, are they threatened by it and have nothing but negative things to say. You never hear anyone calling a girl out for loving New Jeans and Aespa or any of the girl groups. But like a guy group or love k-dramas, and wow.
keep making these types of videos..not alot of channels are talking about this stuff at this level of production..compelling stuff but with a chill vibe
Otaku has always been a disparaging term among Japanese but it was appropriated by foreign fans of anime and used without a negative connotation at least as far back as the 1980s.
Hello guys, I congratulate you for talking about this topic. I am a ceremonyist with a degree in Korean studies who has dealt with this topic while I was studying and the term "Koreanboo" was still not so ingrained. At least not in a negative or derogatory way. First I ask your permission to share this video on my small blog (to contribute to Western and Latin American dissemination where the derogatory term is even more serious), since I was about to publish exactly on the subject, as a student of social and cultural approaches to South Korea, there are many issues that are difficult to face, not making the people of the named country feel offended in any way is important, so it is a challenge that I am about to face to bring my notes to the public. Thank you for treating the topic with respect, I have the same position as you and it is good to find people from all over who think the same. greetings from Argentina! ❤️🇦🇷
It’s a term to discourage people’s interest in Korean culture, history, language, etc. Notice how there’s NO term for interest in any western culture, etc.
In Asian countries there probably is, they also had people who would adapt American trends, fashion and foods and emulate American language and slang, and it was also seen as weird when I lived in Asia 20 years ago. As a European, I found it funny. Europe also had Ameriboos in the 70s and 80s.
@@jasonsmart1 There is the general word of Yankophile, Anglophile or similar. In Japanese they call an obsession with France "Paris Syndrome". In India, I have heard the word Coconut, for people who take on western values.
'Koreaboo' doesn't seem that derogatory. It's actually kinda cute - draws more attention and people to Korean culture. It's open for more to join! It's far more mainstream than alternative cultures.
@@TLiu-1bI promise you most white men don’t think about you all. The term “boo” is used predominantly and exhaustively by females online. It’s a word made up by a bunch of (mentally) adolescent females.
Anglophiles absolutely still exist -- they're the Potterheads or Whovians who like to say "bloody" or "cheers" and either affect a "semester abroad in the UK" British accent or slide off their seats at anyone else with a hint of a British accent.
Honestly this just another tactic to hate on asian men. Why fall for it. If people start showing u love,why not run with it. But when its reversed when women dislike us or asian women dislike their own men its normalized and ok, naw f that, if people wanna show you love and appreciate your culture why stop them? This only proves that when your own hate their own culture but others love it that they are sellouts or brainwashed. They love and appreciate your own culture more than u do proves these people are beyond help.
@@jjsamuelgunn1136no , and if you even say anything to Koran women , they have lots of excuses to fight back your narrative. I just came here from IG and OMG the amount of triggers korean women who are gaslight about Korean men and Asian men OMG and when I check her profile , she is either with WTY men or black men , I just don’t understand why this kind of Asian women exist lol 😂. they can have what ever race of men they want but how openly they gaslighting about Asian men 😂. So that Asian men will have no option lol . they are afraid that Asian men are being opened minded now 😂that was the biggest threat that Asian women always worry about lol.
I'm a Latina Gen-xer, married to an amazing Thai man for 18yrs, we have 2 wonderful biracial children. I love k-pop and all kinds of Asian entertainment (movies/dramas). I'm considered a koreaboo by my family lmao.
I appreciate the person who called out what about ONLY having white friends? Some person had commented on my Instagram saying I have an Asian fetish because my whole friend group is Asian people, but those are just the people who accepted me while I was in college and I tried to hang around Black people, but they literally bullied me.
There's nothing wrong with that because Asian culture is very diverse and very interesting and a different Asian groups have different cultures that's what's so interesting about Asian culture Japanese Chinese Korean Filipino Polynesian Vietnamese people of love Asian culture myself included. Keep the Korean and all the Asian culture going here in the US.
I think your points are correct. I grew up in Thailand and witnessed this whole cycle before. Around 10-15 years ago when K-pop and Kdramas first made its way there, there was also a similar derogatory term. Now people barely use the word anymore and it's no longer has the negative meaning. The hype around K culture also died down and it just became one of the genre for the general public. I don't think it will become as mainstream in America though but the hype and the resistance will fade eventually.

This is me bad but idc. I’m on my lil Koreaboo island tbh. I stumbled on to karmas a year ago, that got me to K-pop, then kbeauty, then Korean food, even tried to learn the language. I have no friends into Korean anything but like I said idc because I enjoy it. But being in atl I just keep it to myself. Lol but I notice having Korean guys on my phone pisses a lot of people off! Asian or American, I always get asked “but what do you like about it?”.
F#ck all these nonsense jealousy when Asian guys getting some love from the people and haters starting to make fun and verbally attacking them. Tired of this BS from decaying society.
Yeap I agree. I just came here from IG and the amount of triggered Korean W who were gaslighting and peddling how Korean men or Asian men are bad bla bla don’t come to Asia. lol 😂 they are just triggered, because these group of people think that Asian men have no option and and western W doesn’t look feminine so they will be alone and only wyt men , black men , and Asian women have rights to enjoy life but not western women or Asian men or balck women or els they are Koreanboo lol .
If foreign women are going to Korea and by proximity to other Asian nations to meet Asian men, you know y'all doing something right, it doesn't get anymore really and better than that. On top of it the power dynamics of foreign women dating Asian men in comparison to poor Asian women dating foreign men for better life opportunities kills any argument. They came from over seas for the Asian guys because they like them not because they feel they would be able to exploit the economic advantage when western counties have a better economy. Asian homies for the win, period. Can no one beat that argument. 😂
I'm an ugly, short, upper middle aged Korean American man in NYC. Last weekend, when I returned my rental car in Manhattan, the male employee processing my return asked me if I had acted in movies. I was speechless and weirded out. Why would he ask such a question? Was this his standard greeting for everyone? Or was he a Koreaboo who watches a lot of Netflix? Or is it common for movie stars to rent/return cars in Manhattan (admittedly, it was a really nice car)? Has this happened to anyone else? To be clear, I look nothing like a K-drama actor.
Maybe you are too hard on yourself and you don't look as bad as you think you do. Trust me, men tend to think they are worse looking than women do. Maybe you are a rugged looking guy .
I'm a Korean-American man. I recalled it was around little more than 15 years ago when Korean-American community first started to noticing non-Korean people's interests for Korean culture. During that time(before the internet started to develop big), lot of Korean-American TV broadcast decided to add English sub on their program. So from T.V. dramas and T.V. talk shows to even Korean news, people in the U.S. were able to watch what was coming from South Korea. It was before "Korean wave" hit, and their original motive was to target other Korean-American youths, who grew up in the States, and knows very little about their parents' home-country. But Korean-American broadcast came to conclusion that this was failure for most of Korean-American youth were very indifferent to Korean T.V. program. So one day, they stopped the English sub since majority of people who were watching were those who didn't needed English sub anyway. I remember watching Korean-American news couple of days after English sub was dropped. The reporter said that they were getting lots of complain calls for dropping English sub. These weren't Korean-Americans who wanted to watch Korean T.V. program. They were Americans who were complaining. The reporter went on by sharing how these people were watching Korean dramas and T.V. shows and were enjoying them thanks to English sub. One of the most popular show was classical drama. Anyway, the reporter then reported that they are going to put English sub back on, and they are going to restart newly started classical drama from the first episode with English sub, and apologized Korean viewers for restarting the dram from episode five. Couple of days after the news, Korean-American reporters decided to go out and report those who were enjoying them, asking them if they were previously interested in Korean culture, and what was it about Korean T.V. shows they liked. First, almost everyone said they didn't know anything about Korea before started watching Korean T.V. shows. Another thing I noticed that was striking was that people who enjoyed watching Korean T.V. shows were either elderly folks(mostly white) and white guys in around college/university years. Elders liked Korean dramas that depicted good family relation while elders were being respected, while they complained that American T.V. is too violent and sexual. Young white guys who watches Korean T.V. shows were culture and history buffs, who were fascinated with classical dramas. I noticed from these people, one group was absent. That is young non-Korean/non-Asian women. Back then few people who enjoyed Korean T.V. shows were either elderly men and women, or young guys who are into Asjan history. But not a trace of young women. More than 15 years after, such demography drastically transformed to younger female fans, while contents of Korean T.V. and pop music have significantly changed to attract younger female audience. While there are still non-Korean male fans(I don't know those elderly folks still likes latest Korean dramas), i think large amount of fans are women, who are being catered to with both contents and male stars that stimulates what today's Western women actually wants. And it is within such phenomenon, that usage of the term "Koreaboo" started to develop. And as this video stated, those who are using it to belittle other "Koreaboos" are typically (non-Asian) men, typically directed to (non-Asian) women.
I think the term refers to the putting of everything Korean (or from whatever culture/country) on a pedestal, disregarding the bad parts and creating a cultural hierarchy in their mind that denigrates others. There are also many people who do this towards America or European countries
It’s does describe cultural phenomena that exists. Whether people choose to view it as positive, negative, or neutral is up to each individual or each example. Generally anyone who idolizes one culture over another is bound to be disappointed because no one is perfect. There is no need to idolize anything in the first place. People just have different preferences and even these preferences change with time. Genuinely enjoying new and different things and continually learning new things is great for everyone from any culture and should be encouraged not put down. People in America tend to love labeling things it’s part of our culture, we have a lot free time and bandwidth to be concerned about things that no one else cares much about. We may just like drama and debating and trends. Just enjoy your life.
They like korean men 😅 like andrew once said someone who reminds them of their K-drama heartthrob ☺️ they like asian guys and asian guys like them back 😄
This is what pops up in my head with the word "Koreaboo" 😂 ... but no hate to them btw. It's also cool that in 2024 we have access to so much from other cultures. One of my friends from high school was alsways crushing on K-pop stars so I'm used to seeing that. Another likes K-dramas. I think it's mostly meant to be a compliment when someone admires 🇰🇷 culture. Koreaboo, for me, is someone who says they love Korean culture but only knows K-pop and K-dramas, doesn't know much else outside of popular Korean media, but claims to love the culture and also tends to only date Korean men (despite not being Korean themselves). Maybe they'll start "Asian-fishing" too.
Okay but... 'Koreaboo' sounds pretty cute actually, connotations aside, let's just own the term, because I'm really not ashamed of being interested in Korean culture.
I think the primary difference between the weeaboo vs Koreaboo label is that the former is typically associated with anime/manga, whereas the latter is an obsession with real people in the realm of K-pop/K-dramas. That's probably why there's more of a negative connotation. Most people might just think you're weird for being fixated on Japanese cartoons, but the Korean obsession is seen as more of a gateway to ethnic fetishization. Yeah, the narrative that foreigners who consume Korean entertainment will suddenly think every Korean person must look and behave like the idols they worship is no different than a non-American watching a Hollywood movie thinking that the average American man must look like Brad Pitt. We're all susceptible to the way media caricaturizes and shapes our impressions. Sessue Hayakawa actually became a male sex symbol in Hollywood in the early 20th century, even though the US already had an aura of anti-Asian sentiment stemming from the Chinese Exclusion Act. There might be a subset of white or non-Asian guys who might feel threatened by this trend, but it's yet to become mainstream. Most of these sentiments are still fairly niche compared to the boy band/Chad-esque heartthrobs that the average American woman is infatuated with.
Same here bro, Im a part of a friend group of 6 WFs and half are with AMs including my girl who is white passing Latina. They all love AMs and guess what? They listen to K-pop.

Feminine? In Kpop they look feminine because they are ...TEENAGERS with make-up on. Put stage make up on a Young Zack Efron or a young Jared Leto and see the girly side pop up. Could people tell a Ma Dong Seok type of guy he looks feminine? And if you look at dramas which are written by women for women and films, like Old Boy or something, the actors and storylines are way different, and so is the appearance of the male protagonists...
I only watch Asian dramas on Netflix. The stereotypes are almost nonexistent and the leads always alpha and get the female leads. Even the movies are enjoyable without being woke.
Google translation will help you understand my comment. 이것은 진화에 따른 본능적인 행동으로 봐야합니다. 여자는 인구생산을 담당하고 있기 때문에 전통적 개념 즉, 우리의 유전자 레벨에선 자산과 동일한 개념이 됩니다. 여성이 특정대상에 이끌리는 경우 같은 유전자 집단의 남성 입장에서는 자산을 빼앗긴다는 느낌이 강하게 들기때문에 공격적으로 행동하게 됩니다. 한국문화는 아시아의 이미지를 전반적으로 크게 바꿔놓았음에도 불구하고 사실 서양남자들 뿐만 아니라 다른 아시아 국가의 남자들에게서도 한국문화에 대한 폄하나 비난등은 쉽게 찾아 볼수있습니다. 남자를 메인타겟으로 하는 게임, anime와 같은 현실과는 괴리된 일본문화상품과는 다르게 한국문화상품의 메인타겟은 여성이고 이것이 실생활에도 영향을 끼치는 서양주류문화(western media) 가 아닌 첫번째 아시아 문화라는데서 열광과 비난이 함께 나타난다고 생각합니다.
I did start spending more on my haircuts because of the before/afters of the make overs the Fung Bros use to do. Does that make me a Fungboo? If Fung Bros had a party with their fans it would have to be called FungUs.
You can like media, make-up, fashion from a culture different from yours. You learn another language (I mean that's amazing) and you are attracted to who you're attracted to. Where the line crosses is trying to put on a persona of a stereotype you associate with the culture, putting down/denying your own culture or others beside the one particular one. Pedestalizing one specific culture and their people is just weird. All countries and cultures have pros and cons and even within those societies it is important to be able to see the people as the individuals they are.
No it wasn't to gatekeep kpop. It was created because some women were displaying obessive or pedo behavior toward korean men/boys. This goes both ways.
We as humans, we see, hear, and learn something about another culture, through different media platforms. Then we become interested in them which is very natural, speaking, dressing, eating or dating which is completely normal. Others take it to a completely different level, because they don’t know who they are and become the culture that is fascinating them at the moment. Blacks were looked down on for many years and still are in many ways, then other cultures started emulating them, the same is happening with the Asian culture. It has alway been the older White men with younger Asian women, now women are becoming increasingly aware of Asian men, and some of the men of those cultures are not liking it! We are all human why should we not like, love each other & become genuinely interested in each other, forget the naysayers! Peace I am out! 😊
Ive been wondering why people don't oick on people that into black cultrure and acting like blacks and white washed asians blackboo or whiteboo lol. And as a Korean guy who has white american wife, i've never seen a single guy complaining about koreaboo.
I think it's more weird to worry about what others are into. Of course on the other hand there are those creeps out there (male&female) that have that obsessive fetishism for whatever they are into and that is a whole other thing.
What do you call non indians who enjoy meditation, yoga? lets face it ALL of the law of attraction and positive thinking came from an Indian Guru Yogananda when he came to the US in early 1900s
I would say liking Korean stuff isn’t negative. However, I would definitely say there’s a ton of kpop fans who just fetishize Koreans and that culture. In that sense, yes, it’s disgusting.
This Instagram post I put out is a reflection of myself. Me always being envious of Korean men and the Asian soft masculinity. I'm still trying to be a better man, not necessarily a softer man, a better man. Here's the link: instagram.com/p/C9DKuPnODsf/
As a korean man I AM saying STOP. Once you dig deeper into a "koreaboos" perceptions on korea and korean men it's often problematic. The issue with some (not all) is they adopt korea as a personality trait.
It depends on your country. In France, Lisa from Blackpink and V from BTS are treated like living gods. They are the egeries of really popular luxury brands and they just make those brands reach new heights. Especially Lisa as she is currently dating the son of one of the wealthiest men in France.
don't know why you believe koreas softpower overpowers japans but tourist numbers and YT related content view numbers tells otherwise. the mainstream westerner isn't interested into asian cultures but knows atleast about china and japan whereas S.Korea is mostly overseen and worse gets confused with N.Korea thanks to western campaign. japan is the most hyped, most western asian country and appeals to males and females with products and content. the interest into japan varies from positiv image to weeaboo. S.Korea on the other hand is more exclusive. either you are interested in asia or K-wave or you are not.
lol you must suffer massive infer@@@iority comp1ex towards Koreans..,, Probably a we@@@b trying to earn some brownie points from imaginary Japanese readers... how sad.

The whole thing is absurd. It's just the transfer and adaptation of culture in general. There was American pop that went to Japan and became a thing then Koreans took that and mixed it up again and targeted America and global fans and it worked. It's the globalization of art. You see something similar in food. One of the craziest examples was Africans coming to southern plantations in Louisiana where there was heavy French influence. Those mixed with American culture and you got Cajun food then a hurricane hit N.O. and a bunch of Cajuns moved to Houston and brought their food and Houston has a very big Vietnamese population so they took Cajun and added Vietnamese flare to it and then they took that back to Vietnam. So in Vietnam you can now get Viet-Cajun which part African/French/American/Texan/Vietnamese/ and Cajun and it's delicious. This is exactly how this is supposed to work and it's the WHOLE FUCKING point.
Cajun food is a style of cooking that originated from the Cajun-Acadians. They were deported by the British from Acadia, a colony of New France that is now Canada. African + French in Louisiana does not equal Cajun food ,but rather Creole food. But yes, I understand your point!!!
Some people need to belittle others and what others like to make them feel better about themselves.

As a Korean in the USA, I remember being a kid and Korea was still completely unknown to the west
Now everyone knows, it was in the past unknown
If it wasn't #minjae1 Asian would date Asian.
Yes, also I remember people used to say Koreans eat dogs. Now Chinese eat bats. What's next?
KPop is whore culture, great for the kids to emulate.
But I'm seeing lot more hate spewed about Korea from people and a lot of negative lies told about Korea that people keep regurgitating
Why is there no whitemanaboo? Or blackmanaboo?
Why is it when there's interest towards Asian men they have to make it a taboo?
Its just called westaboo
And you know damn well ain't anyone ever say this. It's apparently fine to go for white or black men. But if she likes a Asian man? Label her that it's a fetish and not a normal liking to a person.
People can have preferences. But apparently not allowed when it's to Asian men.
because there is no asianmanaboo
yeah. how come it doesn't work the other way around? if somebody in asia loves american movies, eating american food, listens to american pop music, dresses in american fashion, learns english, dreams of living in america, would you slap a term like Americaboo on him?
@@SoundsOfTheWild3 Maybe Ameriboo too
Speaking from experience, if you barely mention that you are into korean culture (in a respectful way) and some people give you flack over it (from men and women) or make stank faces around you, those people aren’t your friends. It’s best to ignore them and hangout with real friends who have the same hobbies.
Edit: I’m also mexican-american, and never outted another person for liking Latin culture or speaking Spanish as well, so this kind of flack definitely doesn’t sit well with me either.
If they are related I can understand how they are alike but ignores you.
As an Indian K-pop fan, i feel very offended of the word kpreaboo. What i love is no different from man all around the world liking hiphop or watching Hollywood movies. Those Incel man should stop using the koreaboo slang.
Many fans are just cringed worthy and need to realize the difference between drama world and reality. And no you do not want me to make list of the actions with such behaviour.
You know when you got that suave smoothness going on, and it starts to be recognized, haters are going to hate just for you being you.
You Indian? Shame on you to be a kpop fan where all Indians get treated nasty in South Korea. Every person in South Korea looks down upon all Indians just only because they have darker skin. And yet you are a fan of Kpop? Shame on you. 🤮
Not my face in the thumbnail of this video, what a jump scare 😂
wow that must a been surprising!😂
So I was out with my friends last night at the club. It’s me and 2 of my Asian bros with 6 non Asian women and the funny thing was these girls were talking about how much they like Asian men. Man times have changed.
Finance huh? Maybe things haven’t actually changed at all
Same here bro, Im a part of a friend group of 6 WFs and half are with AMs including my girl who is white passing Latina. They all love AMs and guess what? They listen to K-pop.
Last time we hung out, it was a pool party with a bunch of XFs (mostly WFs) and the only men were AMs. Coincidently enough, there were 2 young wasian I assume AMWF who went to the pool that day with his WF aunties. I was enjoying every moment of the party knowing how rare this is to see irl.
There was a Latino group that went to the pool later and the amusement on their face was a satisfying sight. I felt such a confidence boost knowing they’re witnessing all these AMs with XFs. The halo effect is real cus the young Latina in their group kept smiling and looking at me.
sounds to me it's just a START. the fact that they talk about it like it's something to talk about, shows that it's still not the norm. like that text exchange at 12:05 on the video. liking korean guys is something weird or even derogatory? i don't see anyone saying that about liking korean or asian women. don't take it the wrong way. a lot of change still needs to be made.
Free
Can you introduce them to me? Cheers
This is like the deal with weeaboos. Some become obsessed. Nothing wrong being enamored with one culture but then sometimes they start devaluing other cultures with implicit bias and that's when it becomes problematic.
When xg wasn't a fame. Luck slave. #mariacordero #ohnonora
Can we just let people eat the food they like, listen to the music they like, date whomever they like, and mind our own business?
I couldn’t help but relate and share my own experiences. I’m a 26 y/o Taiwanese American living in the SGV and started temporarily Ubering recently. One of my most vivid recent passenger encounters was this one late night around 12AM where I picked up a guy who had been drinking with his 40~45 year old white latino brother-in-law that evening. My passenger was seated and ready to go but once his brother-in-law saw it was me who was driving he went out of his way to have a full blown conversation/rant with me about the prevalence of Asian culture, especially Korean culture, surrounding us and how his daughter has totally been absorbed by it. There wasn’t really any malice to his tone, it all was jokingly said to me, but it ultimately came off as him being petty and not being comfortable with these changes. Hell, he assumed I was Korean from the get go and proceeded to make comments about how it was practically impossible to see a “normal” looking asian back when he was growing up. The comment that really took me back was how he was joking that girls in the past would go for the “bad guys” of other ethnicities but now are going for Asian guys now for that good credit score and clean life 💀 💀 💀
What a horrible guy 😬
And you tell him to f*ck off. It has always been Asian men VS the world. THEY ALL H8TE US
No cheating. #nichelleng #bretmanrocktv
A lot of girls still prefer 'bad guys' over nice guys. Nothing's changed there. I kinda miss the pandemic lockdown.
Bad guys like who,,toilet cleaning latino s😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let they love Korea however they like.
Weirdly enough, Asian males are popular now. But in both Latin America and the Caribbean, there has always been Alpha Asian males with Non Asian woman. - And the woman was always totally in love with these guys., I use to see it in Flatbush Brooklyn as a kid. Either an Asian male with a Jamaican girl or an Asian male with a Cuban woman or Puerto Rican woman.
I'm sorry, is it wrong to appreciate a good looking guy no matter if he's Asian or not?? I think asian guys are really hot!
Bingo!
Asian guys like mongoloid looking namjoon? yeah right 😂
Hmmm I’ve observed that it’s a surprise to some people and I believe some people , non- Asian men, don’t understand it. As a BF who grew up in diverse settings and have diverse friends I just think men in general are beautiful. However, in terms of which ethnicity I found most attractive it was always Asian. Fast forward to today I’m learning Korean but I’ve only dated Latinos( because I speak spanish) and the moment I said I’m also into Asians the amount of disrespect and misconception towards them is crazy. I find it sad that it’s okay for men to have “ preference” or a type and give an intelligent reason, but let a woman do the same thing it’s a whole different story.
I’ll give an example, I studied Spanish formally so I found myself liking Latino culture, food and their passion which made me find the men attractive and a great appreciation for the culture. That’s considered okay. Now, if I show the same respect to Korean culture, language, food and I find the men attractive, now that’s considered weird.
Why is it only white people that get that label? Koreaboo or Weeb. Half the Koreaboos and Weebs I know are Chinese or some other Asian. Yet they never get that label. And Koreans seem much more friendly to Koreaboos that are Asian than other foreigners. Even if they both speak Korean…
As an Indian🇮🇳 i don't know about it😂😂thanks for making me aware 🙏🙏🙏. Now days kdrama, Chinese drama& thai drama is also famous in India . Indian genz is so obsessed with kpop and k drama but it's ok because it's not over obsession.
You can say indian girl are obsessed with kdrama and kpop and indian boy's are obsessed with Japanese🇯🇵 muse (Animae)or Japanese culture.
You're exactly correct; it's because Korean guys are getting a lot of attention globally and some people feel threatened by this.
But I'm going to add...this is nothing new, and understand the Korean guys getting the attention aren't the ones being disparaged. It's the WOMEN who follow them and like them. God forbid we have Korean k-pop idols on our lock screens or that we like k-dramas (which, btw, have a LOT in common with romance novels, another often disparaged thing that women like). People....largely men....just LOVE to put down things women like that make them somehow feel threatened. I guess it's hard to compete with a k-pop idol who sings and dances and has washboard abs. Right now, k-pop and k-dramas and SK in general is experiencing a huge surge in global popularity, and girl groups like Black Pink might have started that awhile back, but it's dominated by boy groups like BTS these days, and other groups are on the rise: Stray Kids, Enhyphen, Ateez....the list goes on. People who react negatively seem to fall into two camps: 1. They "just don't understand it" or say they don't, or 2. Man, are they threatened by it and have nothing but negative things to say.
You never hear anyone calling a girl out for loving New Jeans and Aespa or any of the girl groups. But like a guy group or love k-dramas, and wow.
As long as you are not hurting anyone, don’t let anyone tell you what to like. Do whatever you do, like whatever you like.
keep making these types of videos..not alot of channels are talking about this stuff at this level of production..compelling stuff but with a chill vibe
I think Koreaboo was always aderogatory term, like being Otaku
Clueless how did you remember or forget word I don't even know. You let me impersonate army.
Of course, it's the Korean version of weaboo
Otaku has always been a disparaging term among Japanese but it was appropriated by foreign fans of anime and used without a negative connotation at least as far back as the 1980s.
Yeah, I'm not big on labels. But I love the interest S. Korea.
13:32
The whole point right here.
Hello guys, I congratulate you for talking about this topic. I am a ceremonyist with a degree in Korean studies who has dealt with this topic while I was studying and the term "Koreanboo" was still not so ingrained. At least not in a negative or derogatory way. First I ask your permission to share this video on my small blog (to contribute to Western and Latin American dissemination where the derogatory term is even more serious), since I was about to publish exactly on the subject, as a student of social and cultural approaches to South Korea, there are many issues that are difficult to face, not making the people of the named country feel offended in any way is important, so it is a challenge that I am about to face to bring my notes to the public. Thank you for treating the topic with respect, I have the same position as you and it is good to find people from all over who think the same. greetings from Argentina! ❤️🇦🇷
They have the video set with "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)" in their description, so it should be fine.
It’s a term to discourage people’s interest in Korean culture, history, language, etc. Notice how there’s NO term for interest in any western culture, etc.
In Asian countries there probably is, they also had people who would adapt American trends, fashion and foods and emulate American language and slang, and it was also seen as weird when I lived in Asia 20 years ago. As a European, I found it funny. Europe also had Ameriboos in the 70s and 80s.
@@thirstwithoutborders995 can't speak for other countries, but here in Korea, there isn't such a term
@@jasonsmart1 There is the general word of Yankophile, Anglophile or similar. In Japanese they call an obsession with France "Paris Syndrome". In India, I have heard the word Coconut, for people who take on western values.
'Koreaboo' doesn't seem that derogatory. It's actually kinda cute - draws more attention and people to Korean culture. It's open for more to join! It's far more mainstream than alternative cultures.
Nah you haven't encountered one yet then.
It’s always bitter women
Wyt men too
It’s more about the bitter men. They can be worse than women
@@TLiu-1bI promise you most white men don’t think about you all. The term “boo” is used predominantly and exhaustively by females online. It’s a word made up by a bunch of (mentally) adolescent females.
Why would women be bitter? I would think it would be non-Korean men concerned about losing “their” women to Korean men.
@@gallaxian yup, it’s this ⬆️ you’re right and it’s true.
Anglophiles absolutely still exist -- they're the Potterheads or Whovians who like to say "bloody" or "cheers" and either affect a "semester abroad in the UK" British accent or slide off their seats at anyone else with a hint of a British accent.
Honestly this just another tactic to hate on asian men. Why fall for it. If people start showing u love,why not run with it. But when its reversed when women dislike us or asian women dislike their own men its normalized and ok, naw f that, if people wanna show you love and appreciate your culture why stop them? This only proves that when your own hate their own culture but others love it that they are sellouts or brainwashed. They love and appreciate your own culture more than u do proves these people are beyond help.
that's what i don't get. you mean white guys who have a thing for female kpop idols are not slapped with labels like 'koreaboo' ?
@@jjsamuelgunn1136no , and if you even say anything to Koran women , they have lots of excuses to fight back your narrative. I just came here from IG and OMG the amount of triggers korean women who are gaslight about Korean men and Asian men OMG and when I check her profile , she is either with WTY men or black men , I just don’t understand why this kind of Asian women exist lol 😂. they can have what ever race of men they want but how openly they gaslighting about Asian men 😂. So that Asian men will have no option lol . they are afraid that Asian men are being opened minded now 😂that was the biggest threat that Asian women always worry about lol.
I'm a Latina Gen-xer, married to an amazing Thai man for 18yrs, we have 2 wonderful biracial children. I love k-pop and all kinds of Asian entertainment (movies/dramas). I'm considered a koreaboo by my family lmao.
I appreciate the person who called out what about ONLY having white friends? Some person had commented on my Instagram saying I have an Asian fetish because my whole friend group is Asian people, but those are just the people who accepted me while I was in college and I tried to hang around Black people, but they literally bullied me.
Are you black?
I guess it's the same thing that how Asians have always liked American culture. Influenced by outfits, films, food etc.
This 4b movement and "koreaboo" complaints are from afs. You can guess why.
There's nothing wrong with that because Asian culture is very diverse and very interesting and a different Asian groups have different cultures that's what's so interesting about Asian culture Japanese Chinese Korean Filipino Polynesian Vietnamese people of love Asian culture myself included. Keep the Korean and all the Asian culture going here in the US.
I think your points are correct. I grew up in Thailand and witnessed this whole cycle before. Around 10-15 years ago when K-pop and Kdramas first made its way there, there was also a similar derogatory term.
Now people barely use the word anymore and it's no longer has the negative meaning. The hype around K culture also died down and it just became one of the genre for the general public. I don't think it will become as mainstream in America though but the hype and the resistance will fade eventually.

I always wondered y theres no AFs but I think I know the reasons
This is me bad but idc. I’m on my lil Koreaboo island tbh. I stumbled on to karmas a year ago, that got me to K-pop, then kbeauty, then Korean food, even tried to learn the language. I have no friends into Korean anything but like I said idc because I enjoy it. But being in atl I just keep it to myself. Lol but I notice having Korean guys on my phone pisses a lot of people off! Asian or American, I always get asked “but what do you like about it?”.
Start with the KILLER Korean bar-b que which is just INCREDIBLE!!! Continue with the talent and music and go from there.
Stay away from historical Cdramas. Lots of 6’’Alpha male leads. Once you start you won’t be able to climb out of the rabbit hole. 😅
F#ck all these nonsense jealousy when Asian guys getting some love from the people and haters starting to make fun and verbally attacking them. Tired of this BS from decaying society.
Yeap I agree. I just came here from IG and the amount of triggered Korean W who were gaslighting and peddling how Korean men or Asian men are bad bla bla don’t come to Asia. lol 😂 they are just triggered, because these group of people think that Asian men have no option and and western W doesn’t look feminine so they will be alone and only wyt men , black men , and Asian women have rights to enjoy life but not western women or Asian men or balck women or els they are Koreanboo lol .
If foreign women are going to Korea and by proximity to other Asian nations to meet Asian men, you know y'all doing something right, it doesn't get anymore really and better than that. On top of it the power dynamics of foreign women dating Asian men in comparison to poor Asian women dating foreign men for better life opportunities kills any argument. They came from over seas for the Asian guys because they like them not because they feel they would be able to exploit the economic advantage when western counties have a better economy. Asian homies for the win, period. Can no one beat that argument. 😂
I'm an ugly, short, upper middle aged Korean American man in NYC. Last weekend, when I returned my rental car in Manhattan, the male employee processing my return asked me if I had acted in movies. I was speechless and weirded out. Why would he ask such a question? Was this his standard greeting for everyone? Or was he a Koreaboo who watches a lot of Netflix? Or is it common for movie stars to rent/return cars in Manhattan (admittedly, it was a really nice car)? Has this happened to anyone else? To be clear, I look nothing like a K-drama actor.
Maybe you looks like Korean Danny Devito
@@JOHNDOE-ry6rd I said I was ugly, not deformed. LOL

I'm a Korean-American man. I recalled it was around little more than 15 years ago when Korean-American community first started to noticing non-Korean people's interests for Korean culture. During that time(before the internet started to develop big), lot of Korean-American TV broadcast decided to add English sub on their program. So from T.V. dramas and T.V. talk shows to even Korean news, people in the U.S. were able to watch what was coming from South Korea. It was before "Korean wave" hit, and their original motive was to target other Korean-American youths, who grew up in the States, and knows very little about their parents' home-country. But Korean-American broadcast came to conclusion that this was failure for most of Korean-American youth were very indifferent to Korean T.V. program. So one day, they stopped the English sub since majority of people who were watching were those who didn't needed English sub anyway. I remember watching Korean-American news couple of days after English sub was dropped. The reporter said that they were getting lots of complain calls for dropping English sub. These weren't Korean-Americans who wanted to watch Korean T.V. program. They were Americans who were complaining. The reporter went on by sharing how these people were watching Korean dramas and T.V. shows and were enjoying them thanks to English sub. One of the most popular show was classical drama. Anyway, the reporter then reported that they are going to put English sub back on, and they are going to restart newly started classical drama from the first episode with English sub, and apologized Korean viewers for restarting the dram from episode five. Couple of days after the news, Korean-American reporters decided to go out and report those who were enjoying them, asking them if they were previously interested in Korean culture, and what was it about Korean T.V. shows they liked. First, almost everyone said they didn't know anything about Korea before started watching Korean T.V. shows. Another thing I noticed that was striking was that people who enjoyed watching Korean T.V. shows were either elderly folks(mostly white) and white guys in around college/university years. Elders liked Korean dramas that depicted good family relation while elders were being respected, while they complained that American T.V. is too violent and sexual. Young white guys who watches Korean T.V. shows were culture and history buffs, who were fascinated with classical dramas. I noticed from these people, one group was absent. That is young non-Korean/non-Asian women. Back then few people who enjoyed Korean T.V. shows were either elderly men and women, or young guys who are into Asjan history. But not a trace of young women. More than 15 years after, such demography drastically transformed to younger female fans, while contents of Korean T.V. and pop music have significantly changed to attract younger female audience. While there are still non-Korean male fans(I don't know those elderly folks still likes latest Korean dramas), i think large amount of fans are women, who are being catered to with both contents and male stars that stimulates what today's Western women actually wants. And it is within such phenomenon, that usage of the term "Koreaboo" started to develop. And as this video stated, those who are using it to belittle other "Koreaboos" are typically (non-Asian) men, typically directed to (non-Asian) women.
I think the term refers to the putting of everything Korean (or from whatever culture/country) on a pedestal, disregarding the bad parts and creating a cultural hierarchy in their mind that denigrates others. There are also many people who do this towards America or European countries
It’s does describe cultural phenomena that exists. Whether people choose to view it as positive, negative, or neutral is up to each individual or each example. Generally anyone who idolizes one culture over another is bound to be disappointed because no one is perfect. There is no need to idolize anything in the first place. People just have different preferences and even these preferences change with time. Genuinely enjoying new and different things and continually learning new things is great for everyone from any culture and should be encouraged not put down. People in America tend to love labeling things it’s part of our culture, we have a lot free time and bandwidth to be concerned about things that no one else cares much about. We may just like drama and debating and trends. Just enjoy your life.
being westernized is not a problem but somehow liking Asian culture is taboo
Ah, this is exactly like non-black people using "woke" as a pejorative!
I need this podcast, is like a drug
They like korean men 😅 like andrew once said someone who reminds them of their K-drama heartthrob ☺️ they like asian guys and asian guys like them back 😄

This is what pops up in my head with the word "Koreaboo" 😂 ... but no hate to them btw.
It's also cool that in 2024 we have access to so much from other cultures. One of my friends from high school was alsways crushing on K-pop stars so I'm used to seeing that. Another likes K-dramas. I think it's mostly meant to be a compliment when someone admires 🇰🇷 culture.
Koreaboo, for me, is someone who says they love Korean culture but only knows K-pop and K-dramas, doesn't know much else outside of popular Korean media, but claims to love the culture and also tends to only date Korean men (despite not being Korean themselves). Maybe they'll start "Asian-fishing" too.
Okay but... 'Koreaboo' sounds pretty cute actually, connotations aside, let's just own the term, because I'm really not ashamed of being interested in Korean culture.
I think the primary difference between the weeaboo vs Koreaboo label is that the former is typically associated with anime/manga, whereas the latter is an obsession with real people in the realm of K-pop/K-dramas. That's probably why there's more of a negative connotation. Most people might just think you're weird for being fixated on Japanese cartoons, but the Korean obsession is seen as more of a gateway to ethnic fetishization.
Yeah, the narrative that foreigners who consume Korean entertainment will suddenly think every Korean person must look and behave like the idols they worship is no different than a non-American watching a Hollywood movie thinking that the average American man must look like Brad Pitt. We're all susceptible to the way media caricaturizes and shapes our impressions.
Sessue Hayakawa actually became a male sex symbol in Hollywood in the early 20th century, even though the US already had an aura of anti-Asian sentiment stemming from the Chinese Exclusion Act. There might be a subset of white or non-Asian guys who might feel threatened by this trend, but it's yet to become mainstream. Most of these sentiments are still fairly niche compared to the boy band/Chad-esque heartthrobs that the average American woman is infatuated with.
is there an American boo? lol

What? I still have no idea what that term is after watching those tiktok clips.
Non asian racists talking about how 'feminine' korean men are...
Almost all korean guys go for military service for 1.5 year
Feminine? In Kpop they look feminine because they are ...TEENAGERS with make-up on. Put stage make up on a Young Zack Efron or a young Jared Leto and see the girly side pop up.
Could people tell a Ma Dong Seok type of guy he looks feminine? And if you look at dramas which are written by women for women and films, like Old Boy or something, the actors and storylines are way different, and so is the appearance of the male protagonists...
I only watch Asian dramas on Netflix. The stereotypes are almost nonexistent and the leads always alpha and get the female leads. Even the movies are enjoyable without being woke.

You can like media, make-up, fashion from a culture different from yours. You learn another language (I mean that's amazing) and you are attracted to who you're attracted to.
Where the line crosses is trying to put on a persona of a stereotype you associate with the culture, putting down/denying your own culture or others beside the one particular one. Pedestalizing one specific culture and their people is just weird. All countries and cultures have pros and cons and even within those societies it is important to be able to see the people as the individuals they are.
Not liking western media has nothing to do with being a weeaboo
This is hilarious!!! Koreaboo..🇰🇷boo 😂😂😂😂😂
what about Chinaboo or Taiwanboo?
there are so many more Chinese
Y’all really think men came up with the term “Koreaboo” 💀 this term was 100% created by women in order to gatekeep Kpop from each other
No it wasn't to gatekeep kpop. It was created because some women were displaying obessive or pedo behavior toward korean men/boys. This goes both ways.
Koreaboos are 90% of the people that take TKD from a Korean.
What word do we have for people who are into Mexican and Latino cultures as well as other cultures?
Passport bros😅
We as humans, we see, hear, and learn something about another culture, through different media platforms. Then we become interested in them which is very natural, speaking, dressing, eating or dating which is completely normal. Others take it to a completely different level, because they don’t know who they are and become the culture that is fascinating them at the moment. Blacks were looked down on for many years and still are in many ways, then other cultures started emulating them, the same is happening with the Asian culture. It has alway been the older White men with younger Asian women, now women are becoming increasingly aware of Asian men, and some of the men of those cultures are not liking it! We are all human why should we not like, love each other & become genuinely interested in each other, forget the naysayers! Peace I am out! 😊

So the entry requirements of being a Korean phile have dropped for non Asian mainstream society??
I think it's more weird to worry about what others are into.
Of course on the other hand there are those creeps out there (male&female) that have that obsessive fetishism for whatever they are into and that is a whole other thing.
What do you call non indians who enjoy meditation, yoga? lets face it ALL of the law of attraction and positive thinking came from an Indian Guru Yogananda when he came to the US in early 1900s

So otakus are koreaboo now ???

This Instagram post I put out is a reflection of myself. Me always being envious of Korean men and the Asian soft masculinity. I'm still trying to be a better man, not necessarily a softer man, a better man. Here's the link: instagram.com/p/C9DKuPnODsf/
As a korean man I AM saying STOP. Once you dig deeper into a "koreaboos" perceptions on korea and korean men it's often problematic. The issue with some (not all) is they adopt korea as a personality trait.
If you’re over 25 and a “koreaboo” you have to grow up 😂😂
Nobody likes k pop
Its a niche
It's like saying nobody likes you.
Kpop videos literally have millions of views and some have billions you are delusional lol. What you gonna say next nobody likes anime? 🤣
@@JOHNDOE-ry6rd not true. people not liking dkfc there is the norm, not a niche.
Really? How then Blackpink/BTS have the most following on youtube? More than Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift??😂😂
It depends on your country. In France, Lisa from Blackpink and V from BTS are treated like living gods. They are the egeries of really popular luxury brands and they just make those brands reach new heights. Especially Lisa as she is currently dating the son of one of the wealthiest men in France.
don't know why you believe koreas softpower overpowers japans but tourist numbers and YT related content view numbers tells otherwise.
the mainstream westerner isn't interested into asian cultures but knows atleast about china and japan whereas S.Korea is mostly overseen and worse gets confused with N.Korea thanks to western campaign. japan is the most hyped, most western asian country and appeals to males and females with products and content. the interest into japan varies from positiv image to weeaboo.
S.Korea on the other hand is more exclusive. either you are interested in asia or K-wave or you are not.
lol you must suffer massive infer@@@iority comp1ex towards Koreans..,, Probably a we@@@b trying to earn some brownie points from imaginary Japanese readers... how sad.
