How come Korea is becoming so much more culturally dominant in the world than Japan? Every asiaboo I know loves Korean culture, food, fashion, music and movies while only fat weebs and other social rejects have the same open love for Japanese culture. Everybody talks about after the pandemic they're going to go to Korea. Korea just seems so much cooler than Japan.
Governmental funding. Japan is also considerably bigger in population, which allows them to just invest in the local market, while all the most successful Korean acts regularly invest in Japan. The Japanese give so little fucks about international success that you can't even find music videos on Youtube.

global trends i guess. also more than any other asian country, including japan, koreas entertainment industry goes out of it's way to make entertainment as palatable to western audiences as humanly possible
Owen Morris
Because weebs can't get japanese partners so they have to settle for Koreans
Chase Russell
Why are Korea and Japan always compared? Korea is more similar to Poland and Australia. Japan is more like UK. You only compare them because they're Asian. As for why Korea is perceived as cool,
James Green
Despite the memes Korea and Japan are still incredibly similar societies, it makes sense to compare them.
Xavier Jackson
not true tho
Angel Cook
That's true. When I flew from Korea to Japan the flight was so short and when I got there the atmosphere was basically the same.
Owen Butler
What are you talking aobut? Other than Yas Forums only dumb white women are obsessed with korean culture
Nathan Morris
>Why are Korea and Japan always compared? Thank you.
That's what I always wondered thing.
maybe for westerners think Japan and Korea is similar. but We Japanese think we have big difference. and We don't gibe a shit about whole Korea thing.
Zachary Wilson
Korean gov pays people to constantly compare Japan and Korea. It's part of their Christian cults
Korea would be on the level of East Timor and Burma had Japan not annexed and modernized their country. Even today you can still sense their jealousy for Japan.

>Other than Yas Forums only dumb white women are obsessed with korean culture so like half of consoomers that matter?
Jackson Gutierrez
of course you see a lot of similarities in korea, because it's a former japanese colony in which everything, including industry, social structure, city planning, and regulations, was made by, copied from, or modeled after japan in the first place. so comparing the two as if they were peer existences is sheer nonsense. korea is nothing but a work of japanese imperialism.
Zoomer normies are soulless and find their own inner vacuousness reflected in Korea. Japanese culture is a sophisticated taste that requires a developed palate to fully appreciate.
>korea is nothing but a work of japanese imperialism Didn't happen. Japan temporary occupied the country after being attacked by Korean militias, but it was a purely defensive measure. Stop proxyposting and trying to make Japan look bad
Ayden Myers
did japan invade korea? yes
would korea have been free and independent if japan did not exist? no
Problems of A lot of wellknown Korean culture is "Invented traditions" for businesss and origin propaganda.

National popular snack Pokkiy since 1966 Pepero since 1988 It’s simply copy from japan.
More and more without end

>but isn't Japanese culture is copy from China as likes a lot of korean culture copied Japanese culture? relationship of japanese culture and Chinese culture is as like the similar situation of the western culture and Semites middle eastern civilization.
Or Japanese culture is more derivative than an imitation like how the US was influenced by the UK
Saying japanese culture is just imitation of china or so Is typical Western hypocriteness and delusions due to lack of education.
In that logic of you Semites middle eastern brought civilization to primitive noth west who has primitive Celtic and primitive Germanic culture (as like Jomon of japan.)
and western culture is based on the Semites middle eastern civilization.
Nothern Europian are useing Indian number. Latein alphabet which is developed from Phoenician alphabet which Is Semites. Natural sience from Greece which is learn from Egypt and Mesopotamia. And Christianity from Jewish from Middle East. And Greek and Phoenician culture which is developed from Egypt ,Mesopotamia and Babylon. Western Architecture was based on bricks and stone building invented by eygipt and Mesopotamia. Iron and sword making of west is originated in middle eastern ancient civilization as well.
Western hypocrites
In that logic "except of ancient Mesopotamia Iraq Of now who was invented first oldest civilization " would be all not invented anything.
relationship of japanese culture and Chinese culture is as like the similar situation of the western culture from midddles east.
Korean is just doing invented traditions and fake origine propaganda for the budiness
If you can’t understand this difference then lack of intelligence so no hope for you
Juan Brooks
it is the result of statal measures for exporting their culture, starting with music in the 2000s and a gradual acceptation of it, as it isn't as "hard" for your average joe to digest as it is simple and, may God forgive me for typing this, catchy. The appearance of "Urban tribes" (at least in Chile) in the 2000s made this process easier, as there were a teeny tiny group of teenagers willing to dwelve into this subgenre called K-pop, which were the founding stone for the worldwide recognition that it has today, and the diffusion of this, in Scoial media only made the spread easier. personally I don't get the appeal of it, but you do you.
>Is there a reasonable explanation for this? simple. Koreans are better rappers. Kids these days love that jungle boogie woogie music. youtube.com/watch?v=nMMWSutyMGw
>thread about Japan >people talk about Japan >thread about Korea >Japanese invade thread due to their massive inferiority complex hahahahaha this always happens fuck j*Pan long live Korea
It's almost like Koreans and Japanese are cultural brethren. Like neighbors living in the the same subdivision. BUT MY HOUSE IS RED AND THEIR HOUSE IS BLUE!!!! WHO PAINTS THEIR HOUSE BLUE??!!!??

>that video imagine what her pussy smells like...

>korea before japan take over is as poor as africa nations >korea after japan takes over is developed
before japanese annexation korea was much more like china. in fact they used to style themselves as 'little china' or 'lesser china' and take pride in being the best disciple of china. so if you put it that way, the real-estate developer of the subdivision is "japan corporation", which made the korean family move to there from a subdivision developed by china corporation.
Justin Lewis
Anons how do you tell apart a Japanese and Korean from their face? I think it's not possible. Like how you cannot tell apart an Indian and Pakistani or a Spaniard and Portuguese person just from their faces
Jason Powell
korea was africa-tier until the 60s
Luke Long
This is some deep mental gymnastics lore
Elijah Wilson
what do Koreans think of foreign tourists? are there any "Korean only" restaurants like Japanese ones?
