#hallyu wave

[howisthepope]

I live in Belgium for more than 30 years now, I attend FACTS twice a year, Brussel comic con, Heroes comic con, and I've been to Atsusacon a few times. Never have I heard about Hallyu Wave. What is it?

It's a Korean culture convention with a heavy focus on K-pop music. I attended most editions up until now but not all. The organisers are people who have been shouldering the K-pop community in Belgium for years so I knew them pre-Hallyu Wave

Most years they have delicious food, a few traditional games, a few sports demonstrations like taekwondo, you can take pictures in Hanbok that were provided by the Korean embassy. There is karaoke, random play dancing and a party in the evening. Sellers sell everything from K-pop merch to Korean skincare

watched this video in which they were explaining about the whole hallyu wave and why kdramas are so popular and one of the reasons they said was the fact that according to Forbes article dating back to 2019 ,90% of the kramas are written by female writers which is a major reason reason for the kind of softness that is protrayed in the stories

I love kdrama romances because they romanticize (for the lack of a better word) the smallest gestures. Removing an eyelash, holding out an umbrella, having a meal together, sharing an extra dumpling, waiting at the bus or train station, shielding one’s head when they are about to enter a car, so much there’s so much. There’s a lot of cringey and cliche stuff but I have come to enjoy them so much over the years because they show that love doesn’t have to be so grand. It’s the little things that truly matter.

I love kdrama romances because they made me realize not everyone in their 20s or even 30s must have had prior experience with love/ a relationship and that that is completely normal. So many shows and movies constantly show teenagers in love and how it’s weird for adults to not be in a rs but kdramas do not care. You’ll have a 27 year old who’s kissed someone for the first time and it’s done so beautifully that it makes your heart flutter. I love it I love it so much man.

Maybe it is unrealistic and idealistic but I wish that’s how it really was; maybe it is for some I wouldn’t know. I just like that kdramas portray love to be so pure

“Alright gentlemen, what do you have gathered?”

“Well, sir, according to the song ‘Purple Line,’ Micky Yoochun really wants to touch himself.”

“Fascinating…”

They Killed Queen Min and Hacked Off Our Hair (Portrait as Joseon ancestor during 단발령 / Short Hair Ordinance of 1895)

All of our kin in Korea still have their heads shaved bare during their compulsory military service as young adults. Our grandfather's great-grandfathers' would have been the last generation to wear a 상투 sangtu, a standard-issue topknot that died by tantō blade alongside Queen Min and Korea's last unified, autonomous period (1392–1897). Perhaps uncoincidentally, the 丁髷 chonmage (Japanese topknot) went extinct a few years earlier with the Dampatsurei Edict of 1871 during the Meiji Restoration (there's always a J-wave ahead of a K-wave).

Like im not shading on them, genuinely WHO knows those boys besides Leo when he wants extra kids

yeah theyre honestly sweet but totally unremarkable. like truly a stock 4th gen boy group with the extra handicap of being the 'successors' of a group known for trailblazing w concepts 😭😭😭😭 and they couldnt even be vixx 2.0 bc only leo gave a fuck abt them like i will never forget going into the comments of that video where leo popped up as their coach and everyoneee was talking abt how handsome leo looked and someone was like 'guys i know you're excited to see leo thee stallion but can u please give some focus to our boys?' NO! we literally don't care!!! bring out their sexy adoptive mother!

Their calling bj Alex part of the foundational scripts on TikTok..... their making jokes about new gen not knowing bj Alex.....were losing touch, history is being rewritten and bj Alex has inserted itself into the new false narrative..

just a reminder that we as consumers get to recognize when marketing isn't working

"but it's descisions made by professionals" that resulted in 90% of the target audience blocking and reporting it.

you know you don't... have to like something, just cause it was professionally produced, right?

Indonesian Cinema Having been in the movie Industry and entertainment for 3 years, it is amazing to see the changes. From terribly made and terribly executed films, to something to be proud of.
