When I was growing up, I loved movies from Hongkong in the early 90s and listened to Japanese songs. Korean movies were not really good, songs were mostly copycats of Japanese and/or American pop songs. That how I became familiar with their cultures and it made me like their cultures and languages. As I shared during the class, I still feel very weird about Korean Wave in many countries. I am currently working at Carnival as part time as a check-in agent, and some guests tried to talk to me in Korean because they love either K-pop and/or K-drama. I am glad my country's cultural products are getting popular, and I hope K-drama's violent scenes go away to meet global standards when it comes to gender equality.
