The phenomenon of Korean Pop Culture
In this modern era the development of technology is increasingly advanced, the entry of foreign cultures that can very rapidly affect people's lifestyles, the entry of foreign cultures is not only western culture but what is currently popular is Korean culture originating from East Asia. The rise of Korean culture can affect people's behavior and lifestyles, especially teenagers, various types of things that make Korea a popular culture such as music, drama, fashion, and culinary.
At the moment the music culture is rife, which is usually called k-pop, many things that make them interested in this k-pop phenomenon such as music that is easy to hear, visuals from singers, vocals and dance are very interesting. Korean pop culture can color life, many things can be learned about culture there. but this phenomenon can even shift Indonesia's own culture. Teenagers now lose their identity and forget their own culture. This is what motivates and needs to discuss the trends of Indonesian teenagers about the phenomenon of Korean pop.
All have their own opinions to look at any angle, there are positive or negative impacts for adolescents, we also have the right to like something but like something that is not excessive, love something that is perfectly natural. Everything has a negative impact. As for the negative impact for those who like kpop, they tend to be wasteful and too free. Wasteful like buying his idol goods and watching Korean pop concerts, Korean fans also sometimes do not comply with the nation's behavior because they too want to follow the lifestyle of their idols. But it would be nice to sort out which ones we should take and which we should not take. Of course, not everything that is kpop is bad. again we must remain nationalistic.
But there is also a positive side as in my opinion such as hard work from training for years to success that makes motivated, it turns out that success starts from failure and how we rise, can be known Korean artists are also very polite they are famous for their politeness like they are always respectful by bending 90 degrees, their discipline is worthy of our example. With this positive effect many of them are motivated, we can take the positive side to set a good example for ourselves.
However, with the rise of the kpop phenomenon many people commented poorly on one eye, as a kpop fan they would feel angry and upset because others and even their friends often speak ill of our opinions to follow k-pop. many people who always think bad without knowing more details when not all negative. we also have the right to like. We have to judge ourselves, to be mature about how we comment without reducing respect, about us who can respect others more, because we never know, sometimes the things we underestimate, turn out to be very very valuable to others. Always be open-minded to take all the positive sides and keep away the negative sides that exist. So the wise may like but must know the limits of the attitude we do, by not leaving the duties and obligations. As well as being a person who embraces Indonesian culture. Alfi Zahronia Firdaus
