in my country def kdrama
Until the last 3 years, it was k-drama. Kpop become significant recently only.
in my country def kdrama
kdrama is catered to wider demograph imo
kpop
In my country K drama > K pop. Probably because it catered to wider audience while K pop is K pop.
Domestically, K-dramas. That's why OSTs destroy the charts.
Internationally, I would dare to say K-pop. But I have no actual data.
I agree with this. And, living in America, I feel like Korean pop culture fans here are bigger in KPOP in general and from what I've seen.
kpop
Kdrama. actors/actresses are still more famous than idols. Plus you have Netflix spending $500M this year on content.
In western countries, kpop
In asian countries, kdrama without a doubt even if kpop is also known here. It’s just that yall underestimate how popular kdramas are here especially to the demos older than teens lol
Some actual data from the 2020 Hallyu Report
K-pop is the most associated with Korea
But movies are the most consumed (because of Parasite) followed by K-dramas
But after games, K-pop is the one that exports the most money
That should give you some perspective on how big which one is.
