Japanese Teens Are In Love With The Korean Wave

Japanese Teens Are In Love With The Korean Wave

The Korean Drama ‘Winter Sonata’ (2003) was the beginning of the 1st Hallyu boom, TVXQ and KARA were the 2nd boom (2010~2012) and now the newest 3rd boom is on the rise.

Last month on the 23rd, a 6 member girl group GFRIEND arrived in Toyosu for their Japan debut live. A 17 year-old girl in high school spoke on GFRIEND’s charms “They’re talented at dancing. I want to do my hair and makeup like them too”

Last month on the 30th, the 13 member boy group SEVENTEEN made their debut in Japan and this month on the 13th a 7 member girl group MOMOLAND also made their debut. It feels like Kpop groups just keep on coming to Japan.

1. [+2,347, -65] That’s impossible. It’s impossible for me.

2. [+1,996, -57] Stop manipulating the news~

3. [+1,944, -84] I’m in my early 20s but I don’t feel anything special for the wave.

4. [+1,847, -56] >The 13 member boy group SEVENTEEN. Make them a 17 member group

5. [+1,835, -67] It’s because young Japanese girls only became about Korea

6. [+1,824, -46] Yeah, yeah thanks

7. [+1,048, -22] All their members have the same looking face. Japanese girls copy Korean makeup and it doesn’t suit them as high students, they look messy with it.

8. [+854, -30] In love www

9. [+758, -52] I’m in my 20s and I hate the Hallyu wave. Jpop is way better.

10. [+306, -15] I work at a cake shop and the number of high school girls that order birthday plates with Hangul characters has multiplied these days. Is it really popular? It’s gross

11. [+74, -209] It’s popular among middle schoolers and high school students

12. [+235, -13] I’m a high school student. And to be honest, I have no interest in it.

13. [+219, -7] Korean idol groups all look the same

14. [+104, -6] Only stupid people will become their fans, right. If they studied a bit about Korea they wouldn’t be able to support them.

15. [+23, -72] I think Kpop is better than Johnny’s and AKB, sorry

16. [+73, -3] Those people are seriously shameless!

17. [+19, -51] Their level is high if you compare them to Japanese singers, right

                  ↳ 18. [+47, -3] Japanese “singers” are better. Idols aren’t singers

19. [+7, -48] GFRIEND’s Me Gustas Tu is a super good song!!

20. [+54, -2] Korean idols get plastic surgery. I guess their original faces were really yuck...
