A change in the depiction of drinking habits should be because of national goals and not of stresses around how Korea is seen internationally.

The presence and normalization of these drinking habits in dramas may increase the viewers participation in these behaviours. But still the k-dramas are made by koreans for koreans, so the drama does not have to change just because of the international audience.

"Real" idols are constantly influenced by their public image and having to navigate their actions, relationships and decisions. This is not a big problem for these virtual artist, as they are carefully designed by their creators and can be rewritten.

There are also problems with context in translations. Non korean speaking fans of Hallyu may recieve filtered information through translation. This may make foreign fans miss out on the public discourse of things like misogyny and prevent recognition of societal issues.

Hallyu, like K-dramas, often shows a idealized world and if they display societal issues it is not really confronting the realities of misogyny within Korean society. It may create this fantasy space of Korean society and make it seem as misogyny is less pervasive.
