What are the most visible (successful) Korean wave elements in the world? /Kim Yoon(김윤)

I think it is K-pop. K-pop, which began to become known to the world in earnest around the 2000s, has formed a global fandom beyond mere attention. 

This trend has drawn attention from people all over the world for its diverse culture beyond singers and songs. In Korean liquor, Korean traditional clothes (hanbok), Korean martial arts (Taekwondo), Korean food, and Korean TV programs starring K-pop singers. This trend in Korea continues even in the Corona era. Although numerous human activities have been restricted around the world, people can continue the flow of K-pop based on the advantage of easy access to their favorite singers online. In fact, K-pop has proven its huge and visible influence in the U.S., a foreign country. Recently, K-pop singer BTS topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks. It is the first time that a Korean singer has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the number of songs that have remained at the top for two consecutive weeks since their debut is so rare in Billboard's entire history that only 20 songs have been on the top.

Therefore, I think K-pop is one of the successful elements in Korean wave, in that it has expanded its interest beyond just their favorite singers and songs to other cultures in Korea, and that they are actually showing visible influence elsewhere.

is such fight visible in your country?

Summary) Currently, Korea is confused. The sudden increase in taxes and various regulations greatly affected housing and salaries. It's a real mess right now. With the inauguration of the new administration, our country has become very difficult. They're taking all the money away from the people who are misleading the people. This is very wrong. Rich people are stealing money even though they didn't save it by doing bad things. Poor people hiding stirred up the government's fault. As a result, the fight between the poor and the rich continues. It is very wrong to do this. Interesting) Many countries are fighting with taxes. Is this really right? The country should be united, but each of them is fighting for each other's right. This is very wrong, and we'll have to get it right soon. Question) What are we going to do? What can we do for those who are instigated? They are no longer tempted by the government to think properly. What can we help you with?

  1、Power distance Power distance is the degree of power and dictatorship of leadership in an organization, and the extent to which a society can accept the inequality of power distribution in an organization. China's index is 80, and people generally agree that power inequality in organizations, the relationship between superiors and subordinates tends to be polarized, and subordinates can not resist the authority of their superiors, and subordinates are willing to be instructed and led. Actions beyond power are not advocated. This may be because of China's socialist system, the Communist Party of China in China is a one-party ruling, everyone has become accustomed to this system.

Reading 2. What is the relation between culture and globalization? / Kim Yoon(김윤)

Summary John Tomlinson wrote a paper on the correlation between globalization and culture. Today, globalization is well known as a multidimensional process in which areas of economy, politics, technology, media, environment and culture taking place simultaneously. In addition, the boundaries between them are vague and often appear to be joined together. This connectivity increases and affects human life. Therefore, understanding these trends makes us keep in mind the complex and multidimensional processes between them. John saw this understanding as inseparable from the capitalist system, citing two reasons. The first is because we are not making simple imperialist judgments with this. Second, because this distorts understanding at the cultural level.   One of the common speculations about globalization is that it will lead to a single world culture. There is a reason why this seems possible. Because we can see a unified effect, especially in connecting other spiritual memories, s...
