Korean Wave/Hallyu Survey
Hello K-Pop and K-Drama friends!
So, I am in grad school and for one of my classes this semester, I am writing a paper on the Korean Wave and how its affected American culture. On the flip side, I am also looking into how American culture has influenced the Korean wave. I will be covering how social media is used and how modern social media formats have changed the way we consume and appreciate media.
In addition to all the reading I am going to be doing, I also want to gather information straight from the source: the people who have an interest in Korean media! Also known as... you!
If you have a few minutes, please consider taking my survey and answering a few questions about how it has affected you! Also, please reblog and share this with anyone you know who might be interested as well!
The form: <HERE> will be open through Friday, February 23rd at 10pm CST.
Thank you!

Seeing the amount of asks about kpop idols in my inbox is honestly funny and I have no complaints, but then I remember how opinionated I am and don't like some idols out there.

I think it’s funny that some nct stans hate the expanding concept because sm has been obsessed with the idea for a million years. S*ju was originally gonna have it but then fans got so mad when they tried to add two members that they protested outside the building and bough shares in the company (on the one hand we were saved from dealing with a giant s*ju group but on the other hand we’re stuck with the current group of creeps)
no really when u look thru sm's bg history it's so obvious how they have been building up to nct the whole time like s*ju supposed to be rotational and exo having subunits based on country.......and it's crazy that they keep trying like they're lucky kpoppies these days r pussies and would never even think of direct action violence lmfao or ncity would've blown kwangya up by now

Jeongsu always believed that having favourites wasn’t healthy, which is why in every interview that super junior did as a group and he was asked a question about his favourite member, he would joke and say ‘however has been nicest to me this week’.
Yet something always nagged at the back of his mind, Jeongsu knew that super junior’s maknae would always hold a special place in his heart; for two reasons, m!n was the maknae, he loved to care for him even his he had to fight him too and secondly m!n was his boyfriend of course how he acted toward him and their members were different.
Jeongsu knew that both his members and their fans could tell how he acted towards m!n was different and he never wanted any member to feel left out; yet how could he not be able to cope without loving his boyfriend? They had been working together since 2003 when m!n had joined SM when he was 20 and m!n was 15, and in 2009 they finally began their relationship with fans not being informed until late 2015.
For nearly two decades Jeongsu has loved and admired m!n and his work ethic, from the group nearly disbanding numerous times, to family problems as well as problems within the company, m!n has stuck by Jeongsu and for that he will forever be in his debt.
Now although fans and members alike find their relationship admirable, the members especially get sick of the ‘favouritism’, from Jeongsu saving food; to only inviting m!n out or just paying for their meal, the rest of the members have slowly grown tired of it, and when they tried to speak up about their leaders blatant bias towards his boyfriend. Jeongsu quickly switched it on them.
With Jeongsu stating that they all dote and baby m!n and have since 2003, since he was the youngest he had special treatment, even more so due to Kyuhyun refusing to even hug the members, m!n received all the love and affection from the other members.
That had the rest stumped, they hadn't even realized they acted as they did towards m!n and they now couldn't even blame their leader for his favouritism as they were just as bad.
