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 when they're going to go to Korea now, despite the constant threats of war. Korea just seems so much cooler than Japan.
Because the Korean government invests a lot of money into shilling it onto the world and their version of empty, sterile, precision-manufactured consumerism packed into easily digestible form resonates with the consumerist drone who are all the same wherever they appear. It's Weaaboism without the edges (like autism), worship of something allegedly "foreign" or "exotic" but really meaningless. If Weeboism is Sup Forums then Koreabooism is reddit.

Michael Johnson
I'm still a japanophile, Korea sucks.
Andrew Watson
They cynically took everything successful from jap idol culture and western boy bands and recreated it on a plastic surgeon's table
It never lasts though, I've never met someone (who isn't a gook) over the age of eighteen who likes korean shit
Parker Davis
The more I learn about Japan, the more I grow to hate it. It's the opposite for Korea.
Christian Hall
excellent post
Jace Price
I think is that they are doing the things correctly but is all timming. For example MTV in the 90s has all that amazing bands and videos for that time and happens because people in media, musicians , camaras technology actors writers etc an entire generation did fantastic things and appear in the same moment. I think is the same with Korea now, if you really know kpop is like another dimension is exactly what America dont do anymore. A lot of good singers experimental music, videos, choreography advanced medicine, cosmetics and cand add good economic moment. Is trendy now. Is the place America leave in 2000. And did all this Kpop massive cultural appearance without tv. I dont see any kpop video i like in any mainstream and this began 10 years ago and never stop. That make me remeber too when I used to talk to my parents and they had no idea about MTV at those times
David Roberts
Could you please provide an example?
Have you been to Japan?

>The more I learn about ○○○○○, the more I grow to hate it.
It is a common phrase that Japanese always use at 2 channel against that country .

KOREAN ALWAYS COPY JAPAN ! WHY ? KOREA LOVE JAPAN ?
As far as I know only teenage girls and fags like korea
Jose Thomas
Things popular in Japan are done in Korea within 3 months. Korea is infamous because it asserts its origins by stealing the culture of China, Japan, Thailand and other countries. Such a thing is common sense in Southeast Asia. However, only China is accusing Korea about this. What popular in Korea is popular in China. Then, South Korea condemns China as a thief. Korea will soon be silenced if China screams "shut up!" Such a thing is common sense in Southeast Asia.
Still it is true that K - POP is sweeping across Asia. That is because it is the only original culture in Korea and there is not anywhere.
Evan Butler
The more shitposts you make here as japanese, the more people grow to hate japan. Just shut the fuck up you worthless sperglord.
Elijah Brown
I've always wondered: how are K-POP groups at Japanese? Some of them release songs in Japanese, do they have heavy accents? Is their grammar decent?
David Ortiz
>make a thing >export it to koreer and translate it into koreeran >WHY NIPPON PRODUCTS IN KOREER??
Dominic Stewart
I don't really care about either. I like listening to old Korean and Japanese music. Stuff from the time before internet. They both borrowed so much from other cultures but they were always making something unique out of their influences. That's what's important.
Nobody gives a fuck about who made the first computer except people writing history books. It's not very relevant to the topic of what is the best computer for you to use now. Same goes for music. You don't need to know about Ike Turner or Little Richard to start a rock band. You may be able to trace back from your influences to their influences to them. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that what you made is good not who did what before you. Originality is a meme.
Samuel Ward
They make good films/series tho
William Rodriguez
Because no one gathers in South Korea's postings, they have put the phrase "Japan" which is easy for people to gather in threads. Even if Japan is hated, it does not matter at all. We are an autism ethnic group because it is a culture for us to enjoy. Despite the absence of a unique culture of its own country, Korea will not be established unless it is adapted to foreign countries in order to sell it to foreign countries. That is the difference between Japan and Korea.
Grayson Lopez
Because they can sell throughout Asia if they advertise the achievement of selling in Japan. It is their clever strategy. They sing without difficulty in Japanese language without singing in Korean language.
Levi Diaz
You can say that with anything became a success (took things from there or that) to me japan is jrock anime and akb48 , videogames too and definitely non of that compares to kpop. kpop is more professional so to speak in media. If Japan were capable of do the things Korea did they will have the cultural domination they have know many years ago but no Jpan cant, Japan is anime nerd, idols basically kawaii based not professional as kpop, even jav nerd. In Korea the porn is illegal and every one is faping for the idols xD Ive seen French girls buying cosmetics in Korea imagine that. first worlders third worlders, say they are fans of some band without hiding anything. Follow the comebacks with all the programs voting for idols. Models gonig to fashion shows in Seoul. The clubs in Seoul are great. But not in a nerdy way so to speak thats the difference. Im not saying which country is better or not but what Korea did is impressive and the product too. Japan is yet the nerd hiding hole. Korea is the asian Chad in Sup Forums slang
Mason Bennett
>If Weeboism is Sup Forums then Koreabooism is reddit. VERY good post
Jordan Long
Not really, Japan has been globally popular since the 70's, and its cultural influence has always been and will always bee much larger than any other Asian country.
The Korean popularity boom is relatively new, and it's mostly because of pop culture, which we all know is trendy for a period of time and after that nobody remembers about it anymore. Korea will trendy for a few more years, a decade max, then fall back into the shadows.
Japan will still be huge 70 years into the future because its influence is just massive, monstrous.
Kayden Fisher
The Japanese are autistic people. Japan continues to put out strange things only for our enjoyment. Even if it is not sold out and isolated without popularity, it is a result, so it can not be helped. Japanese people can do it if we can enjoy it first.
Evan Morris
why weebs hate korea? because your admirers hate them? but you're brown Japanese hate you too
Carson Cox
THIS
Sebastian Ross
Can you read or speak Korean?
If not your opinion is pretty worthless desu senpai
Anthony Morales
Wow, very rare kind of post in Sup Forums hope others could be like you
Hunter Lopez
they're literally the same you weeb faggot
Eli Phillips
japanese is still culturally dominant, you just don't realize it because of how ubiquitous it is, like American culture. Sushi, anime, nintendo, japanese cars. everyone knows who mario and sonic are, can't say the same for some random kpop group.
James Peterson
>Sup Forums really believes either countries are relevant
Juan Gutierrez
I have no idea but I can relatively stand weeaboos while Koreaboos make me sick in the stomach, they are the most annoying group of people I've ever seen on the internet.
Daniel Cox
I really like Japanese and Korean's old culture and History, honestly, i enjoy learning about East and central Asia, Mongolia as well.
Nowadays i just feel really disgusted by both Japan and Korea.
Landon Gutierrez
>japan has a bigger cultural influence than china
Nah
Elijah Thompson
I mean why the fuck are japs so butthurt? you people have nothing to be butthurt about! you have a bigger economy! bigger land! bigger population! japs are fucking pussies extream low self esteem faggots i like jap culture(not anime though) but the people are fucking pussies even more than we are Japs made the "asian stereotype" and chinks made it worse gooks just fought next to US in vietnam korea dont even have much of power in global society why are you keep acting like that?
Kayden Lopez
If you count Japan dominate Korea till 1945 and leave the country as desert. Korea did an impressive job in just 50 years. Now that is amazing. Japan appears a lot but is not cultural domination. Cultural domination is when the young people consume massively in media Iv seen more people in to kpop korean food language and mainstream than Japan commercials. The fact is non japan fan wants to be like the japanese. But the kpop fans really copy and want to be part of that and that is influence outside the guetto nerd that Japan fans have
Blake Phillips
>Japan dominate Korea till 1945 and leave the country as desert.
Japan and South Korea fought against the West and the United States together, but the Korean Peninsula has not become a battlefield. I would like you to look for photos of Korea before and after the annexation of Japan on the Internet. Please check with your own eyes. It would be surprising if you look at the picture of Korea before consolidation. If I write in detail, it will be an insult to them, so I will not write it here. The fact that Japan has destroyed Korean culture is being spread, but that is not true.
Korea was devastated and became like a desert because Russia, China and the United States did the Korean war over there.
Ethan Hughes
I was talking about in material matter not cultural

like clockwork
Christopher Taylor
most of the factory and stuff were in the north anyway wonder why north were much superior until 1976? despite the war?
Brayden Adams
kpop wave will die out in a few years, it's pop after all. Then all interest in Korea besides Samsung home electronics will disappear.
Japan will still be Japan.
Isaac Morales
thank god for that kpop is fucking cancer korean culture is forced as fuck and i dont like it koreans are pussies they care too much about PC these days dont even mention the feminazis god theyre the worst
Jack Butler
Look I dont think that the koreans are good people because they are not i heard and see bad things been there and very bad behaviour from americans teachers too very bad tings. The description of Seoul usually is a futuristic city with society of the past century in all matters machism manners etc and i think is because the economic growth they have it was faster than the society growth; that wil be fix with time and with more international contact which by now is a lot. But I cant deny that the cultural influence they get is bigger than Japan by faaaaar. Fashion, music, movies, and I very pretty girls in Seoul sorry Japan but you lose on that. True, Japan is soy Korea is Chad
Adrian Lewis
well you actually know something about korea huh but our soy boy president is banning english lessons in kindergarten hes fucking faggot
Jordan Parker
Actually doesnt matter, even rock has cycle and by been pop more than 10 years is a lot. I dont see many young people who knows about Hendrix Janis Morrison Guns n Roses etc Kpop will last a little more because no need mainstream. No one sell it with commercials, the people who like it search.
Kevin Anderson
Actually yeah I know i born in Peru then I live in Brazill a lot of japanese culture in both countries Argentine dont know to much about asian culture and then Seoul. Is quite strange how some koreans hate kpop, which is the only reason why part of the society put eyes on there and dont treat you as cheap monkeys as chinese. Really without kpop youll be as chinese that means no one gives a fuck.
Alexander Fisher
I know I thank kpop for that but still it is garbage and the fan base is fucking cringy too like logan and jake paul but i would say kpop is at least better than logan and jake paul
Levi Jones
Then, investigate the culture of Korea that Japan destroyed before the consolidation. Japan destroyed the original culture of Korea in a different meaning. Yes Japan was strictly forbidden to them. I do not want to write the prohibited content here. Because I will be an insult to them if I do it.
Parker Kelly
if thats the case you just have bad taste, the people that i know that end up watching and listen kpop werent ex nerds, were people who use to listen alternative rock or independent band, trip hop, jazz, metal etc. List of bands Radiohead Portishead PJHarvey Smashing pumpkins Nirvana Bush marilyn manson rammstein etc and off course classics. All of them like snsd nct exo kara dalshabet red velvet zico Heize etc off course no screaming fans but sconsume a lot of kpop. Thats the point when i say the kpop public is not just the people playing starcraft or playing magic cards. The public is wide. And thats is the main reason is not clasiffied as just nerds. Is peolle that goes out drink go to clubs etc. I really like korean stuff the problem it seems are the koreans not the fans
Christian Mitchell
I appreciate your hard work today for the impression operation as well.
Jose James
Korea more open to the outer world while Japan is relatively closed country.
Jace Gutierrez
>if thats the case you just have bad taste or I know too much about koreans
Ian Morales
Japans population stopped growing and the country died with stagnation and 0 innovation. Same thing will happen with korea eventually but right now they make the best consumer electronics, the biggest game in the world and of course everything else you mentioned. Japans infustructure looks 30 years old.
Landon Cooper
i've banged probably over 100 plastic korean prostitutes. i have nothing more to add to this thread
Michael Williams
And yet your women all love koreans. Even watch the anime Tsuredure Children and see a Japaneae husband trying to be like a korean on TV his wife loves.
Grayson Wright
Ok I was about to sent you to fuck off but im interested. I dont know if both of you are really koreans or japanese but at least you must know the culture better than me. Any history book or author you recommend? I will research anyway because is not something that I cant directly ask to an asian.
Hunter White
Japan will be irrelevant in 70 years. Even the producer of Kemono Friends said China will take over the anime industry in a decade.
Leo Morgan
prostitutes dont count soy
Joshua Rogers
Why cant Japanese make anything anymore? TVs, phones and computers are all chinese or korean.
Lincoln Jenkins
I recommend you go to a big city of China rather than Korea. And comfortably trying to emigrate. A hundred thousand Japanese immigrated to Shanghai. It is a phenomenal development that everyone is illusion of Japan or something as a countryside compared to China. Of course, Korea's Seoul and Busan are developing as well as China.
Christopher Peterson
I heard a lot of recommendations of Singapore what do you say about the city? Im in Buenos Aires btw is not a proxy
Grayson Gray
what if i'm fucking them raw and cumming down their throats? they don't like using condoms for some reason
Wyatt Martin
Koreans cater to Western female market, Jap entertainment is more male oriented. I can't decide which country has the better looking women.
Cameron Moore
Japanese ecomony is literally old. Youngsters can live on parents money. They can go to work, but they more likely will never make career. Stagnation leads to degradation. China and Korea developing countries, so they compete Japan.
Tyler Moore
dont count soy
Carter Cox
If you like the culture of East Asia rather than their culture, I do not want to destroy that illusion. If you want to know the past of Japan and Korea, you are on the net. Most of it is a statement that Japan destroyed Korea and was extremely evil. They are disseminating lies on a national scale, it's meaningless if I write here alone. It is not bad to believe that in order not to destroy your illusion. Here, although you can list the real things, somewhere, an agent comes over and cries out to me as a historical revisionist.
From now on, you should not know about real Korea.
Luke Martinez
it costs about the same amount to fuck a civilian korean girl, if not more-so in some cases. so why doesn't it count?
Jose Martin
That's right. Invest in high-interest Chinese and Korean currencies. Do not buy Japanese currencies, you do not get interest.
Jeremiah Collins
>producer of Kemono Friends
lol
Carson Jones
Singapore is a country that Britain made as a colony and later the Chinese overseas emigrated. It is a country where only clean cities exist than Japan. Although they should have Chinese culture, they intentionally erase their traces. That's why English is the official language. Prices are very expensive as it is the country with the highest income in Asia. Everything, both houses and regular cars are very expensive, and if they are not perfect winners they will be miserable if they emigrate.

Japan withdrew almost from such appliances. Materials and parts used in it are made in Japan only.

Why are korean posters so awful, though? They never add anything to a thread
Bentley Johnson
Pay a prostitute is just measure in money. Fuck a civilian is make her say yes, make her want to be with you(hotel, gift or whatever are colateral expenses) So doesnt count soy And as you dont know the difference you are super soyer
James Diaz

Jacob Anderson
I am serious. I have never seen a korean poster post something interesting or good. I don't if it's because their english is bad. They barely show up in threads that aren't related to japan. And even then they're only there to insult other people and complain about war crimes. I think they're obsessed somehow.
Anthony Bennett
So Korea say Japan is evil Japan say korea is.. a liar? ok if you cant say anything just put a direction
Otherwise I just have to pick because one or the other one lies

1st place China (hating Japan mostly) 2nd place Korea (hating Japan mostly) 3rd place Taiwan (like Japan)
Jacob Parker
The more I learn about Japan, the more I realize how autistic they are, and it’s not just posters in Sup Forums. Japan doesn’t know how to appeal to a wider audience so their pop culture caters only to Japanese and autistic weebs, and globally their culture is dying, meanwhile Korea has hit that sweet spot. Kpop is extremely popular in Asia as well as kdrama.
Nolan Hughes
I agree with you all .
Nathan Taylor
Its a popular form of escapism. Japanese culture was the same but it is growing out of fashion.
Remember when you were 12 and did a term of Karate? Remember the instructor? Yeah - that guy was the equivalent of what a Korea is today. Its a way to find meaning in a otherwise meaningless western existence based upon consumerism and spending.
I grew up in a Korean neighborhood. They are nice people but what you see in Kpop/Kdrama is nothing like there real culture. They are basically western people in terms of consumerism, with a Asian mentality towards excellence and education. The older generations are more interesting, but they are thinning as time goes on.
I will admit though, I was recently home and I heard a Korean girl next door play the piano. It was really beautiful. I was touched by the fact this is someones hobby. I have never seen a western in their 20s play with such skill and dedication.
