Recently, the 1020 generation of “K-pop fandom” in the United States has become a social trend beyond popularity. They downloaded the iWatch app created by the Dallas police in June to report illegal activities of black protesters, and bought tickets for President Donald Trump's campaign in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and made it a box office hit. The popularity of the Korean Wave still remains. The US media is lighting up the new song “Dynamite” of the upcoming global idol group BTS (BTS), and the fresh shock of the movie “Parasite” is still being talked about. The drama “Crash Landing on Love” is a hot topic among diplomatic officials in Washington DC. Cedarbow Saeji (49), a visiting assistant professor at the Department of East Asian Languages and Culture at Indiana State University, was asked by e-mail on the 11th (local time) about the power and future of Korean pop culture as seen by the United States. Professor Saeji is known as a Hallyu expert who contributes articles related to Hallyu to the Washington Post.

“Already in the 1950s, Kim Sisters became popular in the United States. It made viewers feel that America is a “good country” on the world stage, and made them think that American TV is cosmopolitan. Of course, Kim Sisters' talent was great. However, after some attempts such as Arirang Singers (Koreana) and Kim Deok-soo Samulnori, it didn't work well until Rain, Seven, BoA, Wonder Girls, SNSD (Girls' Generation) and Psy entered the market.”
-Psy has achieved great success with'Gangnam Style'.
“It seems important that Psy did not challenge the Western stereotype of Asian men. He was more fun than attractive. BTS' popularity is completely different. Fans are idolizing 7 members.”
-Looking at the articles of American netizens, there are quite a few people who do not like Hallyu.
“The Korean Wave is to overturn the flow of American culture. A country that was not considered a cultural powerhouse is suddenly overturning the superiority of American cultural products. Of course it is surprising to many and scary or even offensive to some cultural nationalists.”
