Someone on 4chan summarised it nicely,
as per the anon, he had been visiting both 80s japan and sokorea and saw their development from close; he mentioned that whatever we're seeing now in sokorea - be it kpoop or muh idolz and movies, mahnwa etc is just sokoreans heavily imitating 80s era japanis in terms of popular kulchar + adding their apparent fad for everything amreeki (from "religion" to youth things etc)
like in 80s during peak of japani economy the youth there was into kind of ;chuuni; = being prettyboi edgelords, ;yankee; (the word itself is from american 'yank') delinquents = abrassive cigarette-smoking and loud youth often riding motorbikes and causing troubles for others, ;gyaru; = girlish = girls donning shortest of skirts, wearing open-cleavage shirts and painting their nails with bright colours and DYING THEIR HAIRS INTO BLONDE OR REDDISH BROWN COLOUR to appear like a western girl
; and what not fads...
and of course these Bishuojo = pretty girl "idols" singers-dancers and all
similarly, sokoreans have picked up their own forks of these youth cultural fads and made k-pop, korean idols and taking lookism to extreme by diving into plastic surgery, and those eyelid pleats surgery and EVEN GOING AS FAR AS GETTING THEIR JAWBONES CUT OUT TO GET THAT DESIRED JAWLINE AND CHIN

this was shown by a seoul based plastic surgeon back in 2016-17 times to point out at severity of these sort of cases, imagine the extent of lookism among these goreans
oh and their mahnwa and webtoons and webnovels etc all;
you think japani hentai is full of extreme perversion; well the most "mature" category mahnwa, webtoon etc from south korea have depictions of forced sex, rape, blackmailing and all AND IN ALL THESE THE FEMALES ARE USUALLY NOTICEBLY DEPICTED SIMILAR TO CAUCASIAN WOMEN, AND MALE AS BIG 
-ED CIRCUMCISED ONES etc; and almost all of them have very glossy skins, without pubic hairs and all;
some serious readers i know also show similar opinions for chinese comics, animation and all, they are also full of "mature adult" themes (or lack of) of 
ape, blackmailing, main guy taking revenge and all
in my opinion south korean mahnwa and all are popular because unklie autist japs they make their comics "vertically reading" and one screen takes only one big panel, they make very looong comics that way so it's easy to follow things around on them, 'specially on a vertical smartphone screens, as you just have to scroll up and down instead of keeping track of things going on like in a typical right-to-left going japani manga
and because their depictions of characters is noticeably caucasian-asian mixed up type so many people can relate it, mostly keeping their local cultural autism in control unlik japs who flaunt it proudly
and since south koreans are more into western things they often provide all source material into angrezi unlike japanese who are aversive of these things
no wonder these people are just, outright autist in their own ways, rivalled by japanese only;
BUT somehow they are able to maintain their image quite well among the youth across the world and hence getting big following; but in my honest opinion only youthia who's into autist tier fad things and/or ridden with their own insecurities go behind these outright fake people and their fake things
oh and their women lol, less said about it is better but they are outright feminatzees, 🤌 this emoji was their symbol for anti-men movements telling them 'yer pp smol'
and what not
if not for their superior iq levels and industrial might and all, south korea is one of the WORST nation in terms of modern popular youth culture

as the americans, just refer my post here
. meanwhile many north east indian nd other part of nibba nibbi of india also wannabe korean
. many indian nibbi wanted to make korean "oppa" (elder friend/boyfrnd/big brother). i like korean style, but their face etc is totally plastic nd artificial. thats why highest number of plastic surgery done in south korea. they should be thankful of indians, who discovered plastic surgery 
. but unfortunately they looked down on indians
