on a similar note, the #Hallyuwave in the West (primarily North America but of course it is a worldwide phenomenon), it is not even remotely shocking that Kpop has integrated English more and more into the production of their music (aesthetics, genres, titles, singer/group names, lyrics)

Five years ago we struggled to find Korean food anywhere. Now Booker Cash & Carry do a sauce. #HallyuWave

This global food trend was just what the SK gov hoped for, about 20 years ago.

When I think about politics impacting the consumption of culture and media and how they do so, my mind immediately goes to #China and #Japan (and their responses to Korea's #hallyuwave). In this I will be discussing primarily China as I have just a little more knowledge on that compared to Japan.

I love(d) #BIGBANG.

I maintain that KPop NEEDED THEM in order to evolve into being able to make the #HallyuWave happen.

Since 2008 I have been a fan.

So, this is a stab in the heart for me.

I’m out well past my time limit, so I’m off for the night. Wish it’d been on a better note.
