@egonzalez, "[font=Times, "Times New Roman", serif]now I'm wondering, does this wave actually portray the culture of S. Korea in accurate manner? Are their true values shown through these dramas and pop-singers/band?" So are you asking, what is the real Korea? The answer to this question might be difficult for even a resident of Korea to answer. I see it all part and parcel of the Korea brand. Many countries are moving or aspiring to move in the direction of post-industrialization and a part of that is creating a globally recognized brand. Korean history, art and literature is another story that at times may or may not intersect with the Korean wave.[/font]
