Unlike China’s case, a Korea drama called ‘Winter Sonata’ burst the flame of the Korean Wave in Japan. This period is when a Chinese reporter called this syndrome of growing popularity of Korean culture as ‘the Korean Wave.’ There were a lot of critics about this syndrome that the Korean Wave will be just a temporary happening and it will disappear any time soon. Nonetheless, by constantly introducing many other good Korean dramas, movies, and Korean singers, the Korean wave is lasting over 10 years now and it’s even gotten bigger and bigger.
What the impact of Korean Wave surprised me the most is that it is not only happening in the Asia. Throughout ‘the world is flat’ paradigm, many people all around the world can see and hear whatever they want via the Internet. People, who happened to see the Korean culture through the YouTube, are immediately becoming huge fans of Korean culture. To introduce the happening in London recently, many fans that couldn’t get concert tickets of a certain Korean idol band, gathered together at the square and started to demand for another concert.
The impact of Korean Wave to the world is huge culturally, socially, and economically. I would like to introduce about this more in my MCOM 320 research paper. I am so glad that I could find a wonderful topic that I like to write about.
One of my favorite opera singers is Korea's Sumi Jo. She is amazing. Here is a link of her singing a really fun piece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALK-e_j91oM&feature=related
