Description
South Korea has always had a major footprint here. Kias and Hyundais are ubiquitous. Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy and Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer--and his 2020 Academy Award Best Picture nominee Parasite--are popular and critically acclaimed. It's unclear if bangs-sporting boy bands will ever be an American export again. But we're happy to allow them through customs, especially when they have bangers like the mostly English-language "Jopping"--a portmanteau of "jumping" and "popping"--which boasts 58 million views on YouTube. They've still got a ways to go before catching "Gangnam Style" (3.5 billion streams), but who's to say they won’t eclipse Psy someday?
