No time for western pop culture
It makes no sense to ask a South Korean who their favorite Hollywood actor or actress is. The country has its own entertainment industry, which has slowly taken over much of the rest of the world. You might even be able to name a few of your favorite K-Dramas if asked.
South Koreans are invested so much into their own culture that western pop culture has no place in their hearts. Only when a famous Korean actress makes his or her way into Hollywood will South Koreans even consider streaming our shows or movies. Svetlana admitted that this was probably one of the weirdest things she’d ever experienced.
