I watched a youtube video called "The Political Culture of Korean Pop Music and it's impact to the Philippine Culture". It talked about how the pop music industry in Korea has changed the post developmental society of Korea as well as Korea's relationship with other countries. It used the Philippines as an example that many Philippine girls and boys were so obsessed with Korean idols and dreamed to be a super star themselves. The Philippines is not the only country that is affected by the "Korean wave", as a matter of fact, Korean pop culture has become trendy in most Asian countries and even many countries in Europe and North America. More and more teenagers love to listen to Korean songs and watch Korean dramas, which as a result benefits the Korean economy in some respects. They tend to buy clothes and cosmetics from Korean brands and travel to cities in Korea. However, it is important for the government of Korea to control take good advantages of the"Korean wave" instead of letting the economy relies to much on the pop music industry.
