"Spending over
100,000yen to watch K-pop concert"... revival of Korean Wave
The
percentage of teenagers and those in their 20s visiting KCON Japan
amounted to 20 percent and 37 percent, respectively. CJ E&M said, "At this year's event, the percentage of teenagers and people
in their 20s seems to have increased significantly." In fact, the
number of audiences who were around same age as idol singers was
overwhelming at the event. This trend is changing as K-pop spreads through
the Internet. As the consumers of the Korean Wave have moved
into their teens and twenties, and as a type of culture that is used around the
world, the culture of enjoying it regardless of Korea-Japan relations or
political situations is gaining momentum. The number of performances performed
by the three major Korean entertainment companies (SM, YG, and JYP) doubled
to 273 last year.
