Anime & manga > Kpop

Ramen > Kimchi

Sony, Nintendo > Samsung, Hyundai

Super Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Godzilla, Hello Kitty, Animal Crossing > ????

Japanese Cherry Blossom > ????

Geisha, Kimono > Hanbok

Onsens > ????

Origami > ????

Sushi > K-BBQ

Japan is still WAY ahead of South Korea despite not trying as hard to westernize themselves

Japan is still more iconic, but South Korea is the moment

No, Anime and Games from Japan are way bigger than kpop/kdramas
But Korea has no obligation since Japan colonized and successfully did a cultural genocide there 
No point have this discussions tbh

are we not going to mention how impressive it is for a country like south korea to be even be compared with japan considering the later completely burned korea to the ground not even a century ago, enslaved and killed millions of koreans and tried to completely wipe out korean culture?? for it to become that influent in the present days despite japan's multiple attempts at erasing it is a win itself :clap3:

 

i'm sure the posts would be different if it the countries were replaced with a western country and its former colony but since it japan it gets a pass :ducky:

:clap3:

Sadly, we can't expect much from atrl users

There's room for both :heart2:

Both are doing great, but yeah, Japan is still #1 and by quite the margin too.

I feel like one doesn’t really overshadow the other in popularity, they have their own lanes. Korea with dramas/modern cinema/pop music/fandom culture and Japan with anime and video games. Anime is still more established and bigger overall than any cultural export from Korea, or any cultural export from any other country for that matter

Korea would never reach Japanese's cultural vernacular alone, honestly Korea is like a reductive version of Japan, with a western twist because that what's they worship

Japan = Madonna / Mariah Carey

 

Korea = Gayle / Ice Spice

As massive as Kpop has become, it still ain’t mainstream.  Japan has done more for global pop culture in the 90’s,2000’s,2010’s and even now. Pokémon and Mario alone generates more revenue than BTS & BlackPink have ever combined. Anime characters are more Known than the biggest Kpop/K-Drama idols worldwide. Say Goku or Naruto and even casuals know what you mean. Say Jimin or Jungkook and only people online or are Stan’s know who that is. It’s not even close when you compare games and Media. Not to take away why South Korea has done in pop culture with Squid games and Kpop. But it’s really not close as y’all think.

IDK but Manga/Anime is the worst thing ever invented that's for sure

Posted

Depends of how you look at it 

 

when it comes to music, fashion, series, electronics and movies then yeah Korea wins 

 

but Japanese Video games, Manga, technology and Cars totally destroys  Korea 

 

but you have to understand that Japan does not want to sell music worldwide their local market is so big that they don’t need to and that’s why you see KPOP artists doing Japanese versions of their music but never the other way around 

 

Korean music needs the world but JPOP does not

calling a country that was enslaved and saw its culture destroyed a "reductive version" of its opressor. wow, atrl truly reached a new low here with the genocide and colonization stanning :clap3:

Japan is the IU of asian countries. No matter what the girls say, she’ll always stay on top.

Korea is like Hyuna/Chungha/Sunmi, the bops and the global hype is there, but it simply cannot compete with the already established japanese IPs like Pokemon, Anime etc

YAOSABI, Kenshi Yonezu, Vaundy >>>>>>> your bland basic kpop turds

Korea only bigger in the celebrity and magazine department. But other than that Japan still have the bigger impact I guess. But Korea might snatch Japan's wig in 2-3 years.
