[Ace_wss]

The whole world know south korea. The way they build their image in industry, fashion, entertainment, and the biggest in k pop is amazing cant explain in words

[indianarmyxatiny]

As an indian who love both kpop and kdrama, i am so impressed with this informative video.

[skyshin]

As a Korean K-pop fan, this was a very impressive video.
Proper videos are really rare, so it's amazing that an Indian YouTuber made this video.
He seems like someone who has studied Korea for a long time.
However, there is one thing to point out: Korea's idol system has nothing to do with Japan. Japan does not have a professional care system for idols like Korea does.
Lee Soo-man, who was the head of SM Entertainment, said he was inspired by America's New Kids on the Block and Motown Records.
Motown Records created the first artist training system.

A man said, "I hope our country becomes the most beautiful in the world, not necessarily the most powerful. What I truly desire is the strength of our rich culture." He was Korean independence activist and politician who fervently wished for peace and national reunification in Korea.
As a Korean, I take pride in the fact that the era our ancestors hoped for has been opened by descendants, and many people around the world are enjoying K-culture.

[Drown.in.purple]

Man this is exactly what I expected from you. You chose to looks for facts, reasons and history instead of blindly hating and saying bad about them. This is why we follow you😭 rational and educated

[themaniiacc]

'All of us are dead' made me deeply emotional to korean characters 😢

[debabratasaha]

Having lived there for 3 months in Seoul in 2022, I can comfortably say that South Korea is far ahead.. one could freely walk at 1am, world class transportation .. amazing people.. They just embrace their culture .

[armybangtan]

As a BTS army I've seen so many indians making videos on this topic but they've never stated the actual reasons behind the popularity, they just criticize k-dramas and k-culture but you made such an amazingly detailed video about the HALLYU without disrespecting any culture or any person, Loved the explanation!

[preetysingh]

The best part of Dhruv’s video is he always gives the solutions for all the problems. You’re doing a great job….. well done😊

[babystarcandyandlovelyjubb]

Great video. There is more to BTS more than what was said in the video because they are one of the reasons why Kpop has reached globally.

[lukgi_likar]

Overall, it's a combination of entertainment, technology, and cultural heritage that has propelled Korea to become a cultural superpower. It's truly fascinating how a country can make such a global impact, isn't it?

[BishniDihingia]

I also agreed with you, Sir ....if our government also take some steps in cultures and all ...then we can also succeed afterall we have 28 states with different cultures...

[Khushi_R]

There maybe many factors but BTS was the real-gamechanger as *K-pop back then used to be known by very selected global fans or mostly Asia, but BTS really brought it into Mainstream Global Media.* Huge credit goes to their fans.
