Korean Culture
In the realm of social sciences, cultures plays a pivotal role in
shaping societies and individuals. Understanding cultural dynamic is
crucial to comprehending human behavior, traditions and social norms.
According to Zakiah et al., (2019) “Cultures are dynamic and can change
over time due to interactions with other cultures, globalization, and shifts in
people's habits”.
Recently, South Korea has done really well in sharing its popular
culture with other countries. Korean movies, music, fashion, and lifestyle
choices have become popular worldwide. People from different places find
these aspects of Korean culture fascinating. Even how things are made in
Korea grabs the attention of experts and fans everywhere. Many people,
from all kinds of backgrounds, have studied and enjoyed these Korean
cultural elements. This shows how much South Korean culture is liked
worldwide, bringing people from different cultures together and helping
them understand and appreciate each other (Simbar, 2016).
Korean pop Culture
The Korean Wave, or Hallyu, has become a major cultural
phenomenon around the world (Kim &Lee, 2012). According to the article
stated by Roll (2018), over the past few decades. Korean popular culture
INC.
Senior High School
has spread infectiously throughout the world. Korean dramas and pop
became popular in China and Taiwan, spreading to Hongkong and other
Asian countries. People loved not only the shows and music but also
Korean cosmetics, fashion and food.
In the Philippines, Korean dramas and K-pop are hugely popular,
especially among Filipino teenagers. These young people have easy
access to Korean entertainment online, where they’re captivated by the
appealing looks of Korean stars and the high-quality visuals in dramas and
music videos. This content fulfills their entertainment cravings with its
enticing visuals and top-notch quality ( Kim, 2015).
Influence on Fashion
According to Korean Wave (2012), Hallyu has significantly
influenced Filipino fashion, changing young people's attitudes and
increasing their desire to follow trends. This cultural impact encourages
Filipino fashion designers to be more creative, producing clothes aligned
with Korean fashion.
According to Raham (2014), the influence of K-pop fashion on
students not only shapes their aesthetic preferences but may also
contribute to increased self-confidence when facing large crowds. This
boost in confidence can be attributed to the sense of identity and

INC.
Senior High School
empowerment derived from adopting the stylish and trendy looks inspired
by K-pop culture, fostering a positive impact on how students present
themselves in public settings.
Based on the investigation, most teenagers look stylish in K-pop-
inspired clothes, with vibrant colors complementing their youthful
appearance. The term "ulzzang," translating to "best face" or "good
looking" in English, is popular among K-pop fans , characterizing
individuals esteemed for their distinctive facial features and youthful
charm.
According to Momo the Rose (2020, June 22), teenagers globally
follow the "Ulzzang" fashion trend, drawing inspiration from K-pop idols
who prefer casual attire like oversized t-shirts and tattered jeans. This
creates a laid-back and effortless fashion statement.
As stated in lipstiq.com (2013), K-pop culture attracts students to
Korean fashion through dramas and music videos of their idols, using
endorsements to promote various products. Good-looking men and pretty
girls endorsing fashion also contribute to its appeal, with many students
wanting to emulate K-pop idols' unique style.
There are unique aspects in K-pop that captivate and influence
students, drawing their interest and leaving a lasting impact on

INC.
Senior High School
preferences and behavior. The distinctive presentation of mixed patterns
in Korean fashion, as mentioned by Safiah Rahim (2012), sets it apart and
encourages students to embrace uniqueness in their clothing choices,
fostering a sense of individuality. The influence of K-pop culture is far-
reaching, shaping not just clothing choices but also broader cultural
identity of the students.
