LOL we could always be proud of our folk culture... koreans are proud of theirs... i guess we haven't been in that level... hi Eunice! thank you for your comment… when i was your age, i was also into pop music… i hate to admit it but i was once a fan of NKOTB!

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 23:33:47 +0000 http://www.buhaykorea.com/?p=2833#comment-162184 Hey..! erm i dont really know how to start... Im an 18 yr old born in Philippines but has living in the UK for 8 yrs... and i guess i fall into the category of the teens that is obsessed with KPOP JPOP TPOP CPOP oh my nearly everything... I dont really know the most popular reason why teens love and are hooked on kpop and kdrama... but for me, the reason i was attracted to koreans or japanese artists is because they are not like Filipinos. i just realised this when i was randomly researching stuff. i guess teens wants to have THEM as friends, girl/boyfriends, idols, etc NOT Filipinos. it is true from 1 of the comments ive read that... "Voicewise" Filipinos have it... the only problem is... we love to IMITATE! so even if we have the voice, we will always be compared to some other singer/artist.. i know this because im criticised this way... What im really wondering is that... kpop jpop tpop etc sing in their OWN LANGUAGE (with maybe a mix of english).. but if you listen to songs sung by Filipinos, they're mostly english... and the ones in tagalog are all... hmm whats the word...? i dont know... but the tagalog songs i listen to are mostly love songs and most of them are too corny... Im sorry if im kinda ranting now... and the comment is way too long... but im ashamed to be in the kpop loving category... and im actually longing for something from my country for me to love rather than be ashamed of... i actually have a lot more things to say so if anyone's interested... i shall gladly talk... again sorry for the long comment Hey..! erm i dont really know how to start…

If you have to be critical about this, this is one of the product of globaiization. We could go all day just talking about glabalization but in the end of the day the one solution I could see is to adapt... In our post-modern world what is left are gray spaces. There is no point into fighting in the cultural aspects. We can't go around talking that we are loosing our Filipinoness because there is none in the first place. We can't go on initiating children to dance into tinikling than dancing into the rising nobody by the wondergirls. What is Filipino anyway? Even our entertainment industry is bombarded by western influences. But commenting on the positive side, the rise of the Korean market is a good change for the Asians. Why? For once the westerns are as vulnerable as other countries. Movies like the The Grudge and My Sassy Girl is penetrating them. It only shows that we can influence them.... Even Bollywood beats Hollywood in film productions. Let us see the future of the world.... i can't wait for it... and that is what I am more excited about.

The nexus to films is that more readers more books comics or short stories will be written/published giving the movie producers more stories to choose and select the best to turn to film or tvdrama.
