I see 'Korean' is back

What's the word for 'obsession' in Korean?

 

[Korean]

@Korean, I got a question: how do Koreans see Vietnam and the Vietnamese?
I am just curious.

Vietnamese brides cost much more than Chinese brides.

 

[Viet]

Vietnamese brides cost much more than Chinese brides.

That´s all?

SNH48, splinter group of AKB48, launched in Shanghai - The Japan Daily Press

SNH48, splinter group of AKB48, launched in Shanghai

By Ida Torres / October 17, 2012 / No Comments


Popular Japanese girl group AKB48 now has a counterpart in Shanghai as SNH48 was officially formed with 26 trainees chosen as the first generation of the new group. AKB48 is one of the highest-earning and most prolific musical acts in the world and this crop of young girls are aiming to replicate their success, this time in China.

Lest you think that it’s a piece of cake to be part of this group, all 26 girls have to undergo a rigorous training process before they can call themselves full-fledged members of SNH48. They’re only the 3rd sister group of AKB48 outside of China, with the first two based in Jakarta and Taipei. They all follow the same philosophy of a performance group that’s more accessible to fans with the “idols you can meet” concept. They will have their own theater in Shanghai called SNH48 Star Dream Theatre where they will have regular performances and numerous activities to allow the fans to get to know and interact with them.

The group’s management believes that SNH48 can become a part or even spearhead the Chinese idol culture. Not only that, they also expect the group can have a global impact in 3-5 years and become ambassadors of “China’s positive energy”.

China is not an open country.

Then what is there for you to worry about?

What China have done to both Korea and Japan many years ago cannot be replicated.
We will not see a cocktail explosion of Korean or Japanese characters mixed in with our language.

Our "漢字" will always have its rightful place in Japan and Korea - Forever reminding them the origins of their colourful history and beautiful culture.

Japan and Korea are probably the most open and prone to cultural invasions. Their 'rich' history have proven this.

Sure you will see loan words. After all, only loan words pass along.

Japan and Taiwan do not use simplified "漢字".
Korea does not use ""漢字"" at all.

- Forever reminding them the origins of their colourful history and beautiful culture.

There is nothing to be reminded of.

Any how, Korea is working hard at the cultural invasion of China, ditto for Japan as exemplified this. China's job is to be culturally invaded as it has always been while its attempts to culturally invade others fail miserably thanks to the CCP censorship.

Does this mean we loan your lands too?

Korea does not use ""漢字"" at all.

Nowadays they incorporate both "漢字" and "American English" into their culture. Being so culturally open, this is understandable.

There is nothing to be reminded of.

Then let the beautiful structure above remind them so. The Koreans are welcoming us now just as much.

Sayeth the one who is still is on the receiving end of Chinese cultural invasion?

First it was the likes of Super Junior (at least that is what I think they are called), then it was groups such as Wonder Girls, Miss A, FX and EXO etc More will follow and they will continue to flood your country bringing with them their Chinese culture. Korea will always be intrigued by their colourful past and be reminded of the importance of their culture brought about by us Chinese.

I must say all East Asians: Koreans, Chinese, Japanese etc have lost their culture decades ago. You never see all the people wearing their traditional clothes, speaking their native language, or following a certain religion...
All are now heavily Western influenced.

Yeah they speak English in Japan,China and follow an Abrahamic religion. Please...
