Can Indian pop culture ever be as famous as Korean? - Page 19

I mean, I use ONLY korean skincare products ( although they cost a bomb ). Cosrex, Klairs, Isntree, Beauty of Joeson, SOME BY MI . I have seen significant improvement in my skin texture and elasticity after starting to use them. Also they feel great on skin. 😳

I always binge watch korean dramas, movies. Even trying my hands on korean dishes. Korean men are just so so goodlooking. Of course, so are Chinese men. ☺️

My mom and aunt are always listening to BTS, blackpink, Mamamoo and Exo's songs. Even I don't get it . I mean, they don't even understand a word of korean . 😆

I have been thinking of giving Asian skin care a try. Suggest me some. I have more or less combo skin with pores around the T zone.

I had started with Cosrx advance snail mucin power essence and Cosrx advance snail mucin cream . I tend to have blackheads, so I also use their AHA BHA toner, but not everyday.

I keep refreshing my skin throughout the day with Klairs skin softening water. I use their midnight blue cream also, but it's a bit heavy and I won't suggest it for combination/oily skin.

Beauty Of Joeson jinseng essence water is a MUST try. So is face shop rice and ceramide toner.

Isntree Green tea toner and hyaluronic acid toner both are super amazing, so is their sun stick.

Btw, Klairs gentle cleansing oil is super gentle on skin but removes all make-up and residues perfectly.

I have only mentioned some of the products that I am currently using. You can definitely try them and many more products according to your skin type/budget/availability. ❤️

If you are from India, you can buy all of them from nykaa or kindlife . 😳

Many watched Snowdrop only for Jisoo..others because their idols watched that kdrama,others because in Itaewon V had a song..

Snowdrop was a flop drama and was boycotted by many. I'm talking about the craze of Kdramas in general, it's not cause of the idols but cause of the story, actors and cinematography.

You're trying to say that people watch watch these dramas cause only for idols which is untrue.

Untrue..Hotel de Luna had many hype just for IU and same with many other Kdramas. People WW started with kdramas because many of their idols commented about them..who knew sbout kdramas or Lakorns before the boom of kpop? 🙄 people only knew about Secret Garden or Boys over flowers ..

I started with kpop, kdramas, animes before the boom and I assure u that watching animes, listening to kpop or watching kdramas was a nerd-strange thing.

IU is an actress too, she has been doing dramas for a long time. Most of the people started watching Kdramas during Pandemic. They're not Kpop fans. And thanks to Netflix they're able to watch them. I know Kdrama fans who aren't idol fans.

Squid Game, Extraordinary Woo Young, Goblin, etc didn't have any idols.

Same here. I started with Kdramas, wasn't interested in Kpop until I saw Exo.

Thank god I didn't read few lame posts in this thread yesterday night, otherwise my mood would have ruined and wouldn't have slept well. I'm talking about the posts where they wrote about how only particular region/state in India have fair/good looking men/women or sharp features.. blah blah it's beyond pathetic to read such laughable and ignorant posts. Madam/sir, you should come out of your own well/bubble and visit other states in India. It's laughable to read such blanket statements as if they themselves think fair skin is the only criteria which decides the beauty. We saw daily how Alia is getting bashed about her looks eventhough she is fair skinned and citing she has only fair skin nothing else blah blah.. On other side it's laughable to read that only one particular state people are beautiful bcz of fair skin /sharp features blah blah as if that only one state in India have beautiful people.

Parvati tiruvottu, Nitya menon, Anushka shetty even your own bollywood star Aishwarya rai and many other beauties came from other states of India. I can only laugh at such statements. If people claim such beauties are rare in other states first question is - Did you travel all states in India and saw each and every person?..

Before my blood gets boiled more I should stop reading such lame posts.

Finding SRK attractive is your personal preference and so is his popularity in Germany which is still quite local and niche.

I mean we cannot compare it to sheer global craze that Korean stars are enjoying since last few years.

You wrote such a response purely because you did NOT read at all.

Same old stuck like a broken record at Ash or some South actress when I have never named South Indians at all.

Nor is any South Indian star as famous worldwide as Korean stars are.

Aishwarya Rai is the only Indian celeb who managed to become a legit global phenomenon known for her looks.

No one else reached her level. The closest one who has managed is Priyanka Chopra Jonas in recent years.
