The out growing popularity of Korean pop culture is unbeatable. It invades many Asian countries and even reached USA. Its unstoppable. Most of the k-pop stars are mostly known from music industry then entered the showbiz business. Here in Philippines k-pop popularity was introduced first to Filipinos from airing some of the famous Korea-novellas in Philippine television. From Korean artists, Korean singers and boy-band gradually becomes popular. The quiet nation of Korea where now a big bang to the ears of Filipinos. Comes next the invasion of Koreans in Philippines to study the English language. They are very rampant in any corner of our nation. How did Filipinos hooked with this K-pop culture? In reminiscing some Korea-novellas such like Coffee Prince, Full House, My Girl, Green Rose( which started airing the Pinoy version last Monday and others; In my opinion, don't know if others will agree, the story lines are simple but have the touch of cuteness and uniqueness in every role. They don't have this vulgar way of showing love such kissing style of the Europians. Kissing scene is seldom to be seen in Kore-novellas and usually shows intense emotion of love or in unexpected twist of the story.
I have noted the following factors on why Filipinos is deeply indulge in this K-pop culture. It's my mere factors.
First.Physical appearance.
We, Filipinos are fond of their innocent little eyes plus the very charming smiles. We adores their pore-less white skin.We mostly focuses on their youthful face. They also have this unique fashion sense.
Second.Attitude.
Koreans are well-known for being well-discipline. Most of them are sly and liberated. Never put noses on others'business.
Third.Age.
Todays' generation of pop groups or bands are commonly made up of teenagers. Some of the famous groups at this age range are SuperJunior, 2ne1, SS501 and etc.
Even myself is influenced by peers to know more about them. I hope someday our culture too will reach the same level as the K-pop culture reached.
