If anyone Asian is mad Black people are taking money away from Asian business with what happened with Latasha Harlins and what just happened with Rick Chow Boycotts are meant to be disruptive I need the Asian community to fucking lock in with solidarity intersectionality and community DFPMO

Just started watching Turn Left (Doctor Who). Don’t give me any spoilers yet since I haven’t gone past the opening credits

But it annoys me that the show is very capable of doing futuristic sets and ideas, but when it comes to “Chinatown” of another world in the future, it still uses the tired trope of the place being overcrowded, loud, and accompanied with “Asian” music and banners that done make sense and use the equivalent of comic sans font

Open fires in barrels. Smoky air. Stupid pointy hats. Painfully forced accents.

Ugh.

Asian culture continues to be something exotic to stereotype or use as a villainous trope.

KPoP Demon Hunters - The Korean Wave

In tribute to Asian Heritage Month, I'll be briefly discussing my feelings on the movie's connection to the greater Korean Wave as a Korean American.

I stayed in South Korea for a long while before KPoP Demon Hunters released. I didn't see the movie when it was released; I only saw it in October when it received a limited theatrical run. It felt unreal to see how an animated movie contributed so much to the spread of Korean culture, similar to Squid Game on Netflix. However, when I saw the movie, it was even better than what people hyped it up to be. Everything from the music, character, themes, animation, and every aspect of this movie stands out. This is the Frozen level of success that absolutely deserved it. I only wonder how my experience in South Korea would've been had I been there to see KPoP Demon Hunters spread like wildfire there.

Admittedly, I wasn't super into K-Pop before this movie, and even after, it's still not my preferred music style. I guess part of the reason is my limited understanding of Hangul. However, I am learning to further embrace it, and I finally understand what my older sibling sees in K-Pop.

The movie's contribution to the Korean Wave can't be understated. It's an amazing celebration of Korean culture that appeals not only to Koreans and the Korean diaspora but to so many people of other ethnicities. As one character once said, "When people manage to meet, it is a gift. Even living in the same time and place is no guarantee." The fact that so many people connect so deeply, whether in person or online, to this movie speaks to a universal human connection to its themes and story beats. The movie makes me feel proud to be Korean and want to better understand my culture and Hangul.
