How come Korea is becoming so much more culturally dominant in the world than Japan...

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.

Because they are good Christians while Nips are godless heathens

Everyone I meet who gives a toss about any Asian culture is either Asian, an Asianmutt or overweight.

I don't think they have become more dominant, but the spotlight is no longer on Japan alone. Samsung is the primary force driving South Korea in the world. Sony, Honda, and Toyota are still massive. I wish Softbank had kept majority stock in ARM.

I can't speak for other countries but Japanese culture is so ingrained in American culture that Americans don't even realize it.
>Sushi is so popular that it would be included in a basic (I guess the term here is normie) starterpack.
>Hibachi is becoming popular that even rural, conservative small towns will have a hibachi place.
>Japanese martial arts like Jujutsu, judo, and especially karate (did you even have a childhood if you or your brother, friend, neighbor didn't do karate) are everywhere, especially fighters, so sports fans and gym rats get into MMA and anime like Dragon Ball Z.
>yoga type things that I forgot the name of and might have originated in Japan are also gym hobbies
>Karaoke nights are weekly events in American restaurants and bars everywhere.
>Japanese car companies dominate the market

The only aspect of Korean culture that America has imported is kpop which is nowhere near as popular as anime. Korean food is on the rise but so is Japanese.

Only Korean things I care about are the food and the women.

Most people don't care much about cars. But Korean restaurants are popping up around here, Kimchi can be found in any grocery store at this point and Kpop is getting popular also. The biggest factor of that is, I think, that Koreans make their popculture easily available to foreign fans, they make it available on youtube and often add english subs automatically. Meanwhile it's super hard to get access to Japanese music and tv without going to shady websites and relying on delayed fan subs.

cuz fish is gross

idk

because there's more koreans outside korea than japanese outside japan, or at least here that's the case

There's a growing Korean diaspora worldwide, while Japanese are generally more isolationist

>There's a growing Korean diaspora worldwide
How tho? I thought the Korean fertility rate is well below replacement. Is gookland hollowing out?

Their food is excellent, and I've heard some of their movies are good (I still haven't seen Oldboy) but my interest in that country doesn't go much further. Their aesthetics are gaudy and cheap. Their music sucks AIDS dicks.

Kimchee is tasty.

Nah, Japan is still more influential but Korea has entered the game through kpop. And now I know a lot of people that watch kdramas.

>yoga type things that I forgot the name of and might have originated in Japan are also gym hobbies

Can you be more specific? Cuz I'm pretty sure that's an Indian thing. Don't take our only cultural export away from us lmao

>Korea's shitty, soulless pop music gains international popularity instead of Brood War

it wasn't supposed to be this way

bump

No one aside from teenage girls with self esteem problems gives a shit about kpop and kdrama in the West. Japanese pop culture is much more ingrained in the mainstream.

Anime>Korean culture

.

People who watch anime tend to be the most sheltered and antisocial subgroup. Like I cant imagine someone into comic books that big of a loser as Japanese anime fans.

>How come Korea is becoming so much more culturally dominant in the world than Japan?

the only reason i go to korean restaurants more than japanese ones is because there is a korean suburb near mine with lots of bbq restaurants and cafes to choose from. also apparently there are thousands of japs in my city but ive never met one. even japanese restaurants and sushi shops seem to be staffed by koreans. couldnt care less about either countries music or cartoons.

I really annoying tons of Koreans come to Japan and working here.

We should all shoot them down.


Yeah ethnic cleansing, and Seoul massacres and A-bombing rape at the same time.

Don’t look Japan and stop talking to us

>Don’t look Japan and stop talking to us

can you actually tell a jap and a korean apart just by their face?

Japan is associated with weaboo losers, so normies flock to the nearest east asian country that's not China because they eat dogs.

I wonder where the fuck do you live where Korean pop culture isn't considered for weeb losers, especially considering their only cultural exports are effeminate boys dancing to annoying tunes and gook gibberish mixed with some flashy Engrish words.

Good looking girls/boys dancing and singing is regarded higher than fawning over anime girls/hentai in normie eyes.

Koreans eat dogs you weaboo loser.

its annoying when they play kpop at a restaurant. its all shitty bubblegum pop with cheesy rap sections. pretty terrible.

Found the chink.

>gets called out
>"hah I'm going to avoid the issue by remarking about your flag"

every time and every day

>Koreans high test games dominating everybody
>Koreans pop hight estrogen woman dooing slut dance
>Japanese week beta male incels liking loly porn
>Japanese woman some blured pussy screening for dear life

>implying a lot of anime isn't normalfag as fuck
>implying anime is the only Japanese cultural export
Are you somehow trying to say that fucking Dragonball is frowned upon by normalfags? That Super Mario Bros. is some obscure weeb game series?

Just saying, you still look like a fucking loser with yellow fever and probably homosexual if you listen to kpop as a grown man. Women can get away with liking anything so they don't really factor in this discussion.

Fun Fact; Most South Koreans and Japs are indifferent to the existence of Koreaboos and Weaboos and do not gives a shit about them.

Not even young nip monkeys don’t listen to their pop anymore kek

I can't name one Korean thing. Not one Korean word, not one Korean bit of culture. I know "Seoul" is a city (capital city, most likely) and I know North Korea exists and they are butthurt with each other. Kimchi is Korean, that's something I know, but if you didn't have a picture of it I wouldn't remember it, cuz no one really goes out to eat fuckin kimchi.

When it comes to Japan, I know the following words/concepts/cultural bits: sushi, noodles, anime, kabuki, kawaii, hibachi, ichiban, karaoke.. I'm sure there's lots more.

>guys guys look how uneducated I am!
why post this?

>noodles

because I'm an average person. not a weabo, or any kind of asia-phile.

and the average person knows more japanese things than any other asian country. Japanese are probably top ten in terms of cultural exports, behind America and France and Germany and UK.

People hear more about China, for sure. But I can't name one chinese thing. Orange duck? Kung pao chicken? I imagine those to be western inventions.

Found the gook seething because Kim is the only thing the average westerner associates with his country.

Because they are closer to glorious leader Kim Jung Un than Japan is.

>Kim Jung Un
hes not a psychologist

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Japanese_origin
A lot of words here that most people would know, some of them even quite regular use like tycoon or tsunami. Needless to say there is no comparable list for Korean.

no its fucking not. nobody outside a handfull of koreaboos even knows what korea is. there are no korean restaurants, movies fashion or anything here. its easier to get thai food than korean food. and sushi is everywhere.

This

Classic weeb

Oh shii yea true..

lol yeah in hindsight that was a bit of a braindrool. If Korea vs Japan, then I attribute noodles to japan. If China is in the mix, I'd probably attribute noodles to China. Tho, I don't know any Chinese noodles by name, but I know Udon and Soba.

Weird name, noodles noodles.

Classic Korean expat.

seething weeb

its true though. I didnt even mention anime. but getting sushi here is pretty easy. there are no korean restaurants.
and asian fashion and movies are irrelevant for the average person. also we have atleast one city with a sizable japanese minority. the same is not true for koreans.

there's a difference in the face structure and the eyes pal

What does the Korean flag even look like?? lol

Everyone knows japan is red dot.

pepsi flag

Korea is unironically starting to become a commie state faster than I expected. They are similar to the pre brexit UK in a sense. I didn't know they actually loved NK and Kim so much they hated and looked down on America for it

we have not surpassed Japan in cultural recognition but westeners definetly know more about us than 10 years ago.
especially people on the internet

>there's a difference in the face structure and the eyes pal

i can usually tell a korean apart from a chinaman (facial features are a bit different but the best way to tell is that almost every korean has a bowlcut hair style). ive never met a jap and have seen pictures of them but i cant close my eyes and picture their facial features except for those teeth that a lot of japanese girls have.

i mean when i lived in japan for 6 months even natives couldn't tell as long as i dont introduce myself

im sure ive walked passed japanese people on the street in sydney without knowing it. apparently theres over ten thousand of them here but often when you go to a japanese restaurant they have soju and bibimbap on the menu and the staff sound like they are talking korean to each other.

Hello Kim :D

Thats because you're a fucking weaboo
>sushi, noodles, anime, kabuki, kawaii, hibachi, ichiban, karaoke..
Lmfao

Korean food is generally much better than Japanese. More varied, flavourful.

Fuck off and die, yank.

I hope you get beaten to death by angry nationalists the next time you are off base, American scum.

pop and boyband music was never a fad, it still is a fad.
But Americans now produce jungle nigger culture instead of pop so now people turn to the clsoest of pop, k pop.

also laughing a your life decision to become an ALT. Are you buttmad that you should have picked Korea over nipland?

Not really m8. I've only seen Attack on Titan on Netflix, and I watched some Naruto as a kid. I mean, even the fact that the word "weabo" exists, but a similar term doesn't exist for any other Asian country speaks to the level of fame that Japan has attained.Those things I listed are stuff everyone would know (maybe except hibachi). Oh yea and people would know hentai, origami, miso soup, ramen, sake, sashimi, nigiri, shiitake mushrooms, bukkake, katana...

Really can't think of one korean word I know, except kimchi. If I was weabo, I'd at least know some Korean words just by affinity with asia.

Even Thai or Vietnamese cuisines are more prevelant than Korea lol. Please, I invite you to come up with some examples of Korean culture that the averrage person would be familiar with. Give me one word that's comparable to "katana" or "ramen" or "sushi." One thing that everyone would know is Korean, one thing Korea is known for. (except feud with North Korea)

bump!!!
