| This is a question that is bothering me 4 days. In our country, Kpop culture (including K-dramas and songs) influences are rampant. Fans of it are widely accepted in the society and they can sing Korean songs freely in public whereas if u are Jpop culture (this includes anime) fan u r viewed as weirdos or nerds. Wut is ur opinion about it? |

| Who knows...maybe the hot guys from kpop attract more positive attention than anime which most people regard as those kids cartoons |
| I think it's because K-pop is more americanized in terms of similarities compared to J-pop. In general, K-pop gives off more of a sense of "hot" and "sexy" whereas J-pop is "Cute", "bubbly", etc. |
 |
| Which country thinks Kpop fan normal again ? |
| I don't know a single person who listens to K-Pop and I think most friends of mine wouldn't care if I'd listen K-Pop or J-Pop. They wouldn't even notice the difference xD |

Remv_quevav said: moonnya said: Which country thinks Kpop fan normal again ? Mostly Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, etc. Nope. It is popular in those countries, but who are not the fans think the fans are weirdo |
Magnolia said: Remv_quevav said: If I'm not mistaken, Japanese culture is widely accepted in those countries nowadays as well.Mostly Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, etc. Not as much as kpop I think.There are many anime fans here but in terms of real life people korea wins.There is this one girl in my class who is gaga over korean guys but when i mentioned i had a japanese cousin she said she wasnt into japanese guys. |
Magnolia said: Remv_quevav said: If I'm not mistaken, Japanese culture is widely accepted in those countries nowadays as well.Mostly Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, etc. but mostly prefer Kpop. They treat anime as childhood memories and the new generation of anime enthusiasts often treated as nerds |

| Because K-pop is more popular than J-pop. That is the only answer, what people see more they would conceive as normal. |

| they are? i don't even know a single person who listens to kpop lmao |
 |
| I think neither of them are accepted into society. |
 |
| K-pop culture is in the modern era in alliance with booties and etc. Their vibrant and swaggy looks and their auto tuned songs attracts a lot of fans mostly girls. If you ask me what would I choose, I prefer J. |

It was partly humiliating silverwalls said: they are? i don't even know a single person who listens to kpop lmao here in our place: yes even local radios have a Kpop segment in a day bcoz of its popularity even local albums profited less than kpop |

| Since when was K pop accepted? |

Moneyburns said: Since when was K pop accepted? trust me here, it is widely accepted many are diehard kpop fans TV stations hav always k dramas in their timeslot top charts here hav a kpop always on #1 it's because its Jewel in the Palace's fault (im not saying it is not good actually it is very good it only served as the gateway to kpop here) This K drama is the reason why anime has weakened its grip here in our country |

Remv_quevav said: Now that you mention it, while i'm not a fan of either, i know more about kpop than jpop o0 I guess jpop and jdramas are just less relevant globally than kpop and kdramaThis is a question that is bothering me 4 days.

Fans of it are widely accepted in the society and they can sing Korean songs freely in public whereas if u are Jpop culture (this includes anime) fan u r viewed as weirdos or nerds. Wut is ur opinion about it? But i find it hard to believe there's such a stigma against japanese media... as many already said, "They wouldn't even notice the difference" (except the koreaboos but i wouldnt take them seriously) |

| i think k-pop is accepted because there are more artists/groups that are known in different country's and probably because there are more news about the lifes of the idols etc. |
