Alcohol. Am I right?

Alcohol. Am I right?
So I’ll say it: maybe K-dramas are exporting the worst parts of Korean culture. If every 12 minutes someone’s pouring a shot, what are we celebrating? Where’s the world where joy, comfort, and connection don’t require self-destruction?

Meanwhile in reality? People die. A man recently got so drunk he dragged his designated driver to death. Said he “doesn’t remember” because he was drinking with colleagues. Alcohol culture isn’t charming. It’s violent, exhausting, and deadly.

And don’t pretend it doesn’t work. #K-beauty exploded. #K-food exploded. #K-lifestyle exploded. The global influence is real. So imagine what constant ✨glam✨ shots of #soju bottles are teaching the world. “This is Korea: we drink to live“

Why is it everywhere? Because K-dramas survive on product placement money… and alcohol sells. Funding comes after airing, so #PPL basically runs the show. Normalize drinking on screen=normalize drinking in real life. Corporate strategy disguised as “tradition”

Hip hop globalizes. It transforms through new audiences, markets, and political realities, moving from protest to spectacle and from survival to branding.

Authenticity in hip hop has meant speaking from lived #struggle. In Asian hip hop, where artists often aren’t #marginalizedgroups, authenticity shifts toward creative integrity, craft, #storytelling, and respectful engagement.

Pop feels #borderless and #commercial, detached from identity, so people rarely talk about #appropriation. But pop can be appropriated. It’s just so globalized that ownership feels invisible, unlike hip hop, where lineage and community are central.

Asian hip hop: racism, cultural appropriation or harmless fun?
The proliferation of Asian hip hop stars wearing ‘urban’ clothing could be a symptom of Asia’s lack of sensitivity toward other cultures. Or are they just dressing up and emulating their musical heroe...

#realsocialchange goes beyond streaming numbers or market growth. Until #rights, #safety, and #parity are guaranteed, a booming pink economy is a sign people want acceptance… not that they’ve gotten it yet.

In #conservative societies, a growing pink economy can be double edged: it gives queer people culture and community, but it also treats identity as a purchase. As with the #pinktax we must ask… who profits? The community, or the corporations?

What is the pink tax and why does it matter?
A look at the negative effects of the “pink tax” – a discrepancy whereby women pay more than men for similar products – and what can be done to rectify it.

The rise of the #pinkeconomy (including #BLcontent and LGBTQIA+-targeted media) reveals that many people already know their desires. What’s shifting is corporate willingness to market to them. That doesn’t equal full acceptance, but it pushes visibility.

So when BL dramas and #queer-coded products boom in conservative places like Korea, it means:
1) firms see a new profit line
2) people consume what they actually desire
3) laws & everyday safety are still catching up: Profit ≠ liberation.

If we truly care about the future of manga, we need to acknowledge these conditions and push for change. Talk about it. Share it. Demand better industry standards. Because talent should not be exploited, and creativity should not come at the cost of a person’s wellbeing. #changetheindustry

The stories manga artists create mean so much to millions of us. They shape entire genres, inspire global communities, and bring comfort, laughter and catharsis. But the people behind those stories deserve more than applause.
