Sepasang Jepit Biru

Aku tidak pernah memotong poni rambut ku. Namun, karena kekasihku mengatakan bahwa aku akan lebih cantik dengan pake poni, maka aku potong pendek... Yahh... memang lebih cantik sih. Tetapi karena aktivitas yang mengharuskan memakai jepit rambut, maka aku putuskan untuk membeli sepasang jepit rambut bewarna biru.

‘Korean Wave’ – The Pop Culture Comes As Cultural and Economic Imperialism in Asia


2PM
Some of you might argue that you can’t stand watching the ‘beautiful’ 2PM sings and dances on the stage and refuse to save ‘My Girlfriend is Gumiho’ or “I’m sorry I love you’ in your laptops because they are irrational and manipulating, however, you cannot avoid that you are actually already infected by ‘Korean’ fever as you cannot deny that you enjoy the horse-riding dance, called ‘Gangnam Style’. Gangnam Style hit YouTube chart to be number one the most visited video since it was officially released on July 15, 2012 (the number of viewers were 1,164,892,360 per January 12, 2013). Psy and his ‘Gangnam Style’ is only the tip of the iceberg of the powerful ‘Korean Wave’. The term “Korean Wave” was coined in 1999 by a Chinese journalist commenting on the recent influx of Korean music and movies into his country, but it wasn’t until 2003 that Korean dramas, the early driving force behind the Korean Wave, fully exploded onto the international market. Korean Wave or Hallyu is not simply seen as a natural phenomenon but it becomes cultural and economic imperialism in South East Asia, Including Indonesia.
