Should Asians just Create their Own Grammys and Hollywood?

    I saw this vid and thought about it...because even in KPop spaces people are racist (or sexist) towards their non-ults. After all, Asians are starting to create better content than their Western counterparts:

    I think it's wishful thinking but then again, it was those who had big dreams who made a difference in the world. :pepe-shrug:


    EDIT: Didn't include Spotify because I'm pretty sure some of the more advanced Asian countries already have versions of their own.

    Lee Soo Man recently appeared on tvN's humanities and liberal arts program 'Monthly Connect' that aired on the first of this month and stated, "I dream that Korea will be the country that becomes the leading content producing country in the world, leading the world culture."

    Producer Lee Soo Man stressed that China needs to lift the ban on Korean culture by stating, "China must open their doors to Korea once again. All of the talented Korean producers, including JYP Entertainment's J.Y. Park and Big Hit Entertainment's Bang Si Hyuk, should enter the Chinese market to create Asia's Hollywood."

    There are issues with racism, colorism, and xenophobia in Asian countries too though.

    If he managed to evade Interpol, he can do it, I think. I might have to stan now :pepe-simp:


    Kidding aside, that's great but China seems to be a bigger power player here.

    entering Chinese market in full means they would need to abide all CCP rules set for artists, singers, dancers, idols, entertainers etc.

    which I think it's impossible, and it's better the way it is right now

    Chinese are buying albums, but nothing is 'forced' on kpop companies to do...

    There's also this thing with Hollywood; it became that big because America was and is the current superpower. I don't think South Korea will be able to reach that kind of status.

    Quote from killthisfenty

    Grammys there’s a literally KMA in Korea.


    And for Hollywood even if kdramas haven’t reached their impact and notoriety.

    Platforms such Netflix or Disney+ know how much they’re impactful in the acting scene right now, Netflix is filled with KDRAMAS when years ago you could dream it.

    The thing with KMA is that it's limited to Korean artists. It would make sense if Asian countries would band together, or for China to become the superpower in charge (and I hope not). I agree with the second part, though. Even Disney Plus is now producing KDramas.


    What remains to be seen, however, is how long is this hallyu wave going to be sustained. And if Hollywood will start producing good movies and TV shows again, or produce better acts that can rival the dedication and willpower of idols from different countries (mainly Korea).

    Lol, kpop doesn't need to fall for the same trap as Hollywood. The CCP dangled that China money in front of Hollywood for years and it never came into fruition. Instead the CCP forced Hollywood to censor their own content and stole all their tech and know how. How do you think China built their entertainment industry and put out such high quality films? They stole it. Hollywood only just realized that they were scammed and stopped kissing the CCP's ass. LSM is an idiot for pursuing China.

    basically what lsm said to a degree


    if china wasent just a communist kunt, the 4 asian tigers + japan and china could be a massive Asian market for many thing


    /e its an issue with boomers(like the rest of the world)


    they all just hate each other

    But why you wrote it like that?


    I've said it's better the way it is right now because Chinese people buy albums but kpop companies don't need to bend knees to CCP

    The CCP controls access to their people. If you don't kiss the CCP's ass then they won't allow you to make any money in China. Even though Hollywood kissed and fellated the CCP, they still refused to allow Hollywood to release a lot of movies in China. The CCP also usually cracks down on illegal copies of newly released movies but never did so for Hollywood releases thus killing a lot of revenue. The CCP is not to be trusted and anyone who works with them will regret it. Look at what happened to Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

    I think the issue is that the US (and India, which has succeeded in creating their own market though they are also technically apart of Asia) is one country. 1 country, 1 joint interest, 1 governing body, and basically 1 language.


    Asia (I'm assuming you mean specifically East Asia) has multiple countries, multiple interests, multiple governing bodies, and multiple languages. Probably the same reason Europe does not have a Hollywood. They have the BRIT Awards, which I guess could be a European Grammy's?


    China has it's own industry. It's more than profitable for them without Korea or Japan's help, and whenever they like something Korea or Japan does, they just replicate it lol. They don't need Korea like Korea needs them, so they have no incentive to try to link up with them.


    Korea has not even fully opened it's doors to Chinese groups or Japanese groups, so how do they expect China to do the same? Chinese groups haven't really tried to promote in Korea (because they don't have to), but there are not very many Japanese groups blowing up in Korea. Not even NiziU, JO1, or any of those Broduce Japanese groups.


    I do think China is the key to uniting East Asian media, but I don't see that happening any time soon.


    Right now, if we had an Asian Grammy's that included China, Japan, and Korea. People would be fighting even more about rigging, and pointing fingers at the CCP.


    Yeah, it's a long way off.

    I think the idea is good but I can't see most of these Korean companies even wanting that. Many seem set on expanding Korea's influence to the west, not creating an Asian entertainment empire. We can see this with all the record deals Korean companies have not only to promote their artist but to help create American groups in a kpop style. Even LSM is promoting his groups in the west and has plans to continue doing it.
