I would like to talk to Hong Shi Young, better known by his stage name Giriboy. He is a rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor. I learned about him from Show Me The Money 3, and since then I have started listening to him.

I am not among his biggest fans,

Why the media content made by and for heterosexual women in Japan has become so important for queer people outside this country?

I will explore how I see this from my own perspective, as a queer person.

The globalization helped both BL and GL mangas/animes to gain a

Why is manga so popular outside of Japan?

#manga #Japan #popculture #japanese

Manga became a way to discover a culture far removed from a person from the Western society, in particularly to learn about the Japanese world and the world of fantasy. Manga helps bring our rich imaginations to life,

I would like to talk about #SUPERKIND, a male group that debuted in 2022. This group incorporated two virtual members in their lineup, dividing members in two different units: PRID, made of 5 human singers, and nuke, made of 2 #virtual idols. In this way, they marked “the first instance where

OPTION KOREA: #BlindedbyHallyu #MisogynyInKorea

Gender discrimination still exists in many fields in Korea. This can even be seen in differences in wages, employment rates, and parental leave. Numerous cases of violence are being uncovered in politics and education, leading to high-profile

#YourNameEngravedHerein #TaiwaneseFilm #DirectorPatrickLiu

In this film we can see a small human tragedy unfolding against the backdrop of major political changes. Before my eyes appeared a vividly filmed, sad love story that began at the wrong time, in the wrong place. In the begging, one of them

OPTION 2:

Officially, gaming is considered an #Esport, that could seem very contradictory to many people, at the moment when they start comparing physical- and e-sports.
Traditionally, “ #sport ” refers to activities that involve physical exertion, skill, and competition. But society evolves, so do

OPTION B.

Among all my choices, I decided to talk about #MoDaoZuShi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, 2018). This series represents wuxia which is a distinct genre in Chinese literature, television and cinema. It’s the unique blend of martial arts philosophy of xia (俠, chivalry) developed -

MASCULINITY:

#XLOV is a group debuted in SK on January 7, 2025 which gained an immediate popularity (mostly in the West) due to their genderless/androgyny concept, totally unused, and also “bizarre” to the Korean society, blending elements of both masculinity and femininity. Their concept photos,

OPTION D:

#KoreanCoffeeCulture does surprise me. The amount of people who consumes this product is extremely huge, compared to Italy. First thing I want to share, it’s the price difference between these two countries. #Coffee in Korea is much cheaper that in Italy, and the size of the cup is much

Option C: #TrueBeauty

Reading ‘True Beauty’ made me realize (again) how beauty standards are shocking in the Korean society. This webtoon is created by former fitting model and artist Yaongyi, that’s why in my opinion she is really aware of what she was telling her readers about.

OPTION A

The very first activity that could enact social changes that came to my mind is #dancing. Many K-pop fans share cover dancing not only as their hobby and the way to communicate with other fans and express themselves through body language, but also as an [unintentional?] social protest

“MADE IN CHINA” OPTION

I want to discuss this because in European schools, many innovations that came to the Western society from East Asia remain invisible. They are replaced by alternatives invented by European / American people since in this way Western people contribute to the enrichment of —>

I decided to talk about Yuji Nishida, Japan’s left-handed opposite in volleyball, that made his debut in 2018 and, despite being the youngest and a rookie, he has become a key asset for the team in a very short period of time.

Option 2:

[thread]

I’m gonna talk about the Asian diaspora in Italy, in particular about the Chinese one in the city called Prato, which is stereotypically known as a “China Town city” among the Italian people.

I would say that Italian people are quite racist.

Are Korean audiences ready for K-pop artists wearing qipao in a performance?

Thread:

The life on Japanese students is very different from the Ukrainian and Italian ones. Meanwhile Japanese students MUST show respect to their teachers at the begging and at the end of the class, both Ukrainian and Italian students just sit down on their chairs, maybe sometimes saying “Hello teacher”->

i think k-pop demon hunters reveals the reality of k-pop industry very well since it perfectly represents how some of fans are TOO addicted to their favs and how idols are seen by them (the reason i’m writing about this is that demon hunters went very famous and i’ve never seen it except in tik tok)
