Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

[Magi Brahmin]

nope, not in Indonesia. they've been replaced with T-Pop (Turkish Dramas) while I-Pop (Indian Shows) and J-Pop still remained above them all. Korean Pop culture has become less and less popular nowadays. i expect G-Pop (German Pop Culture) to reach Indonesia as well.

wait, Indian shows in Indonesia??

 

[esolve]

K pop is sweep the whole east and Southeast Asia, but it's garbage in NA or EU.

this is garbage?

No, but SK is not doing bad.

I think UK have music that are more popular world wide (Spice Girls, Beatles) , and it's actor and actresses (Kiera Knightley) are much more famous throughout the world. Also harry potter. Also TV shows like Dr Who has a strong nerd following.

Japan has a strong subculture influence everywhere, but I won't say Japanese pop culture is main stream in non east asian countries. There are some japanese things that young people everywhere will know like pokemon games, godzillia and giant robots, but Japanese music, movies, animation are less watched and listen to then western stuff by a good portion.

France and Italy usually make joint work that are popular throughout Europe, but unfortunately has less appeal to rest of non french colony world because it is not in the de facto world language (English)

Canada and to a lesser extent Australia and New Zealand have famous actors and pop music, but most of the world just assume they are American (Justin Bieber)

jpop isn't popular even in Asia except its **** and animie

no, Britain pop is not so popular as Kpop.

Ahahahahah.....after the U.S no country has a better pop industry than us. Do you even know what you are talking about bro? You seriously don't know anything about Britain at all.

I said it before though, S.korea music/pop does dominates in East and to some extent South East Asia though, but worldwide they don't really come close to U.S Or even U.K .

This article should provide some ideas about that.
China bans TV shows about time travel, fantasy, immorality | EW.com

many young people watch dramas made by Internet companies now
and TV dramas about time travel, immorality, ghosts are not banned on Internet

still fantasy and immorality dramas are very popular in TV channels, for example, the best show of this year is

which is aired by the most welcome TV channel in China
time travel dramas are still on TV channels, but not so many

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

I believe "One Direction" is British.
They made $290M in their 2014 tour.

Never seen a Chinese defend junk Korean pop like this, are you a girl?

 

[cloud_9]

I don't get this K-Pop thing,most of the time it's borderline sexual exploitation of auto tuned young girls/boy with choreographed personalities.Nothing beats the British Pop music scene.

I have said that US is number one
UK music and dramas are not so popular in non-western countries.
Korean dramas and bands are very popular in Asian countries

Never seen a Chinese defend junk Korean pop like this, are you a girl?

coz we Chinese are so proud to ignore the strength of South Korea
this is not good at all

The K-pop is trash with full of girly men.

They are british indeed. But i dont really like thier music, not my type. More for teenagers(girls especially).lol
Our bands seem to always do well internationally, from the beatles(the most successful/popular band in the world ever), to spice girls(maybe only the destinates child came close to them in popularity) to backstreet boys , to the rolling stones to now one direction(the biggest/most popular band in the world today).

Funny enough one direction were just runners up in the X-factor, its a british music show organized by simon cowell, the british entertainment guru. I was even surprised they became so popular worldwide, since i watchef them when they started as amateurs/college boys.
By the way, the X-factor also has an american version as well,@Peter C . Guess you know it?

Your chinese brother is right though. Lool

Anyway, how come Chinese pop music/entertainment industry lags so much behind its east asian peers(forget about the west)? Only korea and Japan dominate in this region......surprising.

Britain

Biggest selling British acts of all time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In fact, guess who are the first and only artist/musicians to have crossed the 1 billion mark of records sold/moved worldwide?

Answer: Its none other than our Beatles. Then comes Michael Jackson(king of pop) and Elvis Presley. (king of rock n roll). Those are the only 3 artists to have crossed that mark in history if mankind, even today.
These three are all kings/legends of their profession, all the others are on another different low league.

Not to mention the culture impact of Sci-fi TV drama Doctor Who on the genre of Sci fi alone and after 50 years after its broadcast, it is still running today with its 12th Doctor. Does anyone know how many US TV series can trace its root to its UK origins, just out of my head without further into research, there are House of Cards, Skin, Shameless and Eleventh Hour. After little research, holy moly.

Its OK bro. Don't mind some members here , they are very ignorant about Britain. Maybe because we don't boast much on here.lol

Anyway, U.S is still our child, so some foreigners who are not familiar with our anglo saxon link/culture can easilly confused/mix up british and american music/Artist/musicians, so i can understand them
For example the first time i heard Tinie Tempah's rap music 'Pass out', i thought it was American. Lol Our styles can be similar at times and language doesn't help either(though its a little bit different).

In this regard, K-pop's influence can be no where near the accomplishment of J-pop in Asia. Just an example, Nakijima Miyuki, althrough herself might not be very known in China, but her songs gave literately lives to many famous singers in greater China areas.
