Ka Pou Sin
Blog Entry for Week 8
From
the article, “Korean American Youth and Transnational Flows of Popular Culture
across the Pacific”, Jun-Sun Park says that the Korean American is slowly
increasing. Not only, the increasing of Koreans becoming Americans, but also
their culture. The influence of the Korean pop culture is increasing. It is
very surprising to hear that people knew the music groups in South Korean back
at her time, but in the present days, it is world-wide known. For example, Psy’s
Gangnam Style is highly known and everyone loves it. The song plays in radio
stations and repetitively on the television. I read on the news on time that
Psy’s income has increased tremendously due to world-wide invitations for his
performance there. Usually, American singers or performers are well known and
invited; however, slowly Korean music is taking over. The increased amount of
people knowing South Korea can help increase Globalization. The connection in
between the different countries will increase and the economy standing of
countries in Globalization will increase, which makes the whole world better
off. So not only does the Korean pop culture help South Korea to be well known,
it also encourages Globalization and influences the world to become better off.
