Since Korean Trend arrived to Thailand. It’s hard to deny that Korean fever is hot commodity in all kinds of entertainment whether is in music, or TV series. Nowadays, if we want to be in trend, we need to modify Korean look; such as hair styles, big eye contact lens and so on.
In my point of view, I think the Korean trend is very outstanding in Thailand because of fashion. In common, the trend will go pretty fast. Previous, the Eurasian trend was in before and people loved it and now Korean. Soon Japanese trend will come back again!
I’m not saying it’s not a good thing to be in trend and follow it. But one thing that will never change is our Thai culture and look. I’m proud to be Thai. I think the highlight about me is my smile. The kind of quality that all Thais’ possess, that’s why we’re called the land of smile.
While you can't deny the strength of the Korean influence in today's Thai youth culture my question is what is driving it. Why all of a sudden did the Korean 'look' become so appealing to young Thai people? Similarly, have have Korean dramas become so popular with older Thai people. The history of Korea is very different from the history of Thailand and deep down the cultures are different too. Confusing to me.
