[theqoo] JAPANESE TEENS WANTING TO BECOME KOREAN

When asked Japanese teens about what they liked most the #1 was Tik Tok the #3 was Instagram, the #4 was choco mint and the #5 was tapioca.

And #2 was "Everything about Korea" (KPOP, food, makeup, fashion, etc.)

The program's MC and panelists were all shocked

A popular tag among middle schoolers on Instagram was "# I want to become Korean"

Whether they find Hangul cute or whether they are interested in the Korean culture, it's very common to see them download the language on their keyboard and use in on their phone if you see them in the streets

It's not hard to find female students using the Korean keyboard on the streets, you will meet them very often

*we met them again*

We asked them to write the show's name in Hangul and they wrote it clearly

1. The young people of Japan are quite alright, but it's the old right-wings who are the issue

2. There are also a lot of kids who dress like Koreans too

3. Tik Tok is #1... Do they want to have the Chinese and Korean vibe so much?

4. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So true, a lot of people around me keep saying they want to be Korean or they want to live in Korea

5. Seriously a lot of people between their teens to their 30's want to become a Korean..

6. There are a lot of instances, where you start getting familiar with Korean music, food and culture in your teens and this is likely to be preserved until you're in your 20's and even 30's. Hallyu has definitely changed a lot through the years

7. Interesting

8. The teens of Japan definitely have good sentiments towards Korea but the thing is the middle aged men... Seriously...... I haven't met a single Japanese middle aged man who likes Korea...

9. I want to watch the video of them saying it

10. Interesting, the idols really have a big influence
