And the wave took
Yesterday was a milestone in cinematography: a movie "Parasite", sul-Korean, was the first feature film in "foreign language" (read up: not in english) winning the Academy Award for Best Film. In simple terms, we witness the crest of a cultural wave that has been gradually covering the world to reach its highest level.
Of course,
the Chinese journalists who coined, in the years 90, o neologismo Kpop ("hánlú"; in
Korean, "hallyu"), "korean wave", to refer to the wide
diffusion of Korean products in your country did not imagine the proportions that the
phenomenon they observed would take. What started as a series of policies
cultural "protectionists" of South Korea would soon translate, in
other asian countries, in a growing entertainment audience..
