This doesn’t really have anything to do with Korean cooking, but I figure this has kinda become a Korean culture site anyway… Here’s an article my friend sent about how Korean men are all the rage in Japan…

ok so whos up for a trip to japan?
i win!
ahah wow!
Does it mean Korean men are delicious since this is on Korean Cooking? :p My hair stylist(he’s Japanese) told me his mom is crazy about Korean guy singers and my bestfriend (who’s also Japanese) told me her mom’s in love with Korean actors. My facial lady (who’s Malaysian-Chinese) also is in love with Korean actors.
hmmm,maybe i should go to japan and be a manwhore haha
haha maybe now I have a chance at SOMETHING, at least.
:chuckles:
interesting article… (ditto that yo, time to take a little trip to the “land of the sun”) hahaha!
it’s those damn korean dramas. i heard the japanese people LOVE watching them and are addicted to them hence their worship of korean male actors. they think korean guys are like that in real life or something. isn’t that freaken hilarious??
“Italians of Asia….”
I hate to say it but this article did nothing but make my big head get bigger
“sensitive men but totally ripped” LOL
hahaha.. i need to be in japan right now.
it’s the same as yellow fever or yellow fetish here in the states and the fascination with asian women. but what gets me is, “Entertainment industry leaders in Seoul credit the phenomenon to good marketing coupled with an uncanny response throughout Asia to the expressive nature of the South Koreans — long dubbed the Italians of Asia.” LONG DUBBED THE ITALIANS OF ASIA?! umm hello?! did i miss something?
Hahaha Italians of Asia… yeeeeaaaaahhhhh… And here all my women friends tell me that they hate Korena men because they always have to be so macho. I’m totally moving to Japan now.
it’s karma, but in a much less violent manner, unlike what the japanese did during the war, today there’s no need to beat, capture and enslave comfort women since they’re flocking to them willingly…haha
i personally want to move to japan… been wanting to for a while now… about 2 years.
i think korean dramas set an impossibly idealistic standards for us korean men. we should boycott barbie… oops, i mean korean dramas.
lol, look at the fan base in photo #2… still want to move to japan?
i couldn’t believe how many cultural faux pas there were in that article.
sheesh.
sensitive men but totally ripped. hahahaha!!
in real life, i’ve never met any korean guy even remotely resembling/embodying the guys on the korean dramas….. i guess i have to keep on dreaming…
haaaaaaaaaahahahaah what korean man is sensitive, ripped, rich, good looking and SHOWERS girls with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. im laughing so hard. =P
I agree with everyone… it’s the Korean drama. I can’t believe that some women EXPECT the Koreans guys to act like those actors in the drama. BTW, I’ve met Kwon Sang Woo… he’s such a prick. I was in love with him before I met him and now… bleh. =P No personality!
my aunt loves “yon sama”. lol.
i call this jiral yumbyung.
SO weird…i mean…it’s like Asians coming to the States looking to meet Brad Pitt….
hahaaa … nice article!
haha well i don’t know about personality
but koreans are hotties!
sensitive men? HAHAHA i have not met one sensitive ASIAN man period.
must keep bf away from japanese women…
it’s amusing and a little sad that the japanese women think that a whole nation of men are exactly like a bunch of fictious tv characters. amusing at the naivity but sad that they’re shelling out so much money…
That’s because Korean men are FINE~!
i really like your site its very intresting.
fun article, but soooo strange b/c my fiancé referred to me as his “Seoulmate” in an email, yesterday.
F’ckn Euge hahahahaha.
It’s the dramas. Come on, FICTION FICTION FICTION.
Sensitive men but totally ripped? Hmm?
as a 2nd generation korean-american, i can’t STAND the korean male actors. they’re so utterly fem! and sensitive? i’ve yet to meet a korean from korea who’s really sensitive like the ones in the dramas. and if they really were — i’d just gag. yuck!!!! and ripped??? hahahahahahahaaaa!!! i don’t know where they got that from!!
hi!! are u korean?? i am korean too!! well yeah i roleplay but still. by korean name is kwon yijoo and my american name is Rachel. well whats ur name??
