So what puts S.Korea on the map??

For entertainment:

Boys over flowers

Let’s not even kid ourselves.

And that wasn’t even originally Korean

Overall of course Samsung.

Oppa Gangnam Style

Samsung is probably the most recognisable Korean brand

I like BTS but in this case I’ll say kdramas. More people are likely to have watched a drama from Korea rather than listened to Korean music

Quote from Ves

Samsung/LG - I don't really think its a contest either. Both are highly respected brands in the west.

Tbh most people don’t go around checking what countries big brands originate from. So Samsung/LG may be popular but it doesn’t mean most people immediately associate it with Korea

K-drama
Samsung

my mom is middle eastern.

She said kdramas have been translated to farsi and Arabic as long as she can remember.

Bc they are more conservative(specially older ones) they met the standard of Islamic TV.

They were one of the few foreign media acceptable and wide spread.

My mom now watches K-dramas because of Netflix
