In the article entitled “Korean pop culture continues to capture Filipinos' hearts” by
researcher Ma. Cristina Arayata (2018) Many people, especially in the Philippines, are
big fans of K-dramas and K-pop. Despite not understanding the lyrics, many can still
sing along with K-pop songs and claim these are among their favorites. Filipinos have
apparently caught the Korean pop culture fever that it is now just common to see people
flashing the Korean finger heart. In an exclusive interview with the Philippine News
Agency (PNA) over the weekend, Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC)
Director Lee Jincheol said what is distinct about Korean culture is its candidness, which
can be seen in K-dramas. He emphasized that K-dramas do not just feature the region
or tourist attractions. "They (K-dramas) don't exaggerate. They are not exclusive or
patriotic," he remarked.

In a study entitled “Purchasing behavior and intention to buying Korean product
by researcher Truong Thi Hoang Long Spears and Singh (2004) defined purchase
intention as an individual’s plan to buy a particular product. Many researches proved
that the Korean Wave also has positive effects on exports of Korean products and
increased tourism (Pang et al., 2007). They insist that the adoption of the Korean Wave
can directly influence the purchase of Korean products. The consumer products related
to Korean culture such as tourism, contents, cosmetic products can be influenced (Yu et
al., 2012). Foreign consumers who are familiar with Korean culture are likely to have a
more positive attitude toward Korean products and actually purchase them.
In the study entitled “Study of Factors Affecting on Customers Purchase Intention”
by researcher Dr. Vahidreza Mirabi (2013) Customers purchase decision is a complex
process. Purchase intention usually is related to the behavior, perceptions and attitudes
of consumers. Purchase behavior is a key point for consumers to access and evaluate
the specific product. Ghosh (1990) states that purchase intention is an effective tool to
predict buying process. Purchase intention may be changed under the influence of price
or perceived quality and value. In addition, consumers are affected by internal or
external motivations during the buying process (Gogoi, 2013). Researchers have
proposed six stages before deciding to buy the product, which are: awareness,
knowledge, interest, preference, persuasion and purchase (Kotler & Armstrong, 2010)
(Kawa et al., 2013). Customers always think that purchase with a low cost, simple
packaging and littleknown product is a high risk since they the quality of these products
is not trustable (Gogoi, 2013).
In the study entitled “A study on factors influencing cosmetic buying behavior of
consumers” by researcher Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Consumer buying
behavior is a decision process as well as an attitude of the people involved in
purchasing and using products. Consumers make purchase decisions for buying small
as well as large products. After recognizing a need or a want, consumers begin
searching for products or services that fit their requirements. Their decision depends
upon many criteria. However, consumer purchases have happened much before their
actual purchase. Marketing plays an important role in this. Marketing & Advertising have
a strong positive impact on buying behavior of consumers, and they directly influence
consumer buying a product from a company that she/he is well aware of. In ancient
days, consumers were not bothered about the attributes before buying a product. But
there comes a tremendous change in the consumer buying behavior of the 21st
Century. Consumer purchase decision has now become a complicated process and is
related to the attitude, perceptions and behavior of consumers. Consumers considered
purchase behavior as a key point to access and evaluate specific product. Ghosh
(1990) state that, to predict buying behavior of consumers purchase intention is an
effective tool. Due to the influence of price, quality and value there is a possibility for
changing purchase intention
