Filipino Teenagers In a study presented by Magtortor(2013) it revealed that, the rising popularity of
Korean Culture throughout the world made a great impact on the lives of the teenagers in today’s
generation with its teledramas, films, pop music etc. In her paper it founded that, youths are the one
who are most influenced by the Korean wave and one of those are the Filipino youths. Those youths are
exposed to the different kinds and genres of music and Korean dramas. In going to school, you can easily
observed that Korean sensations are almost everywhere. You can notice that students are listening and
singing songs in Korean language, talked about their favorite Korean dramas then admire the actors and
actresses in the movie and sometimes impersonate their looks.
According to Casasola(2017), Korean dramas are undeniably addictive. The plot can go from cliché but
subtle to deep and unpredictable Casasola also claimed that they are certain side effects after watching
Korean dramas as stated:  The viewers can’t stop themselves from watching another episode.  The
viewer’s playlist becomes filled with kdrama OSTs.  Cry during heartbreaking and sad scenery. 
Standards in a girlfriend/boyfriend becomes higher.  Find themselves uttering Korean expressions or
words.  Suddenly takes interest in learning the Korean language.  Experience the “Last episode
syndrome”.  Ultimate goal is to go to South Korea.
Moreover, according to Salmeen (2017), she stated that: The biggest impact of Korean dramas is the
culture and how well-written the stories are, also the etiquettes and mannerisms shown. Another
impact would be that they consume lot of time because they are highly addicting.
Studies conducted about Korean dramas According to Yuchen & Yi Ci (2015),the findings of their study
concluded that Eighty percent of students in their school have watched Korean dramas. And the two
main reasons why these students would like to watch Korean dramas are the content and the cast. Sixty-
two percent of students averagely spend one hour watching Korean dramas in one day. Therefore, it can
prove that Korean dramas have become a fad among most students in their school. Some answered
Korean dramas do not attract them. In their survey, most students in National Douliou Vocational High
School of Home Economics ＆ Commerce have watched Korean dramas. There are two main effects of
Korean dramas on the students. One is the students’ academic performances and the things they adapt
in watching Korean dramas such as products. On the other hand, after watching Korean dramas, most
teenagers become Korean maniacs and actively participate in many activities, but they aren’t willing to
spend their money buying products related to Korean dramas. From their survey they concluded that
Korean dramas are exactly popular with the students in their school, but watching Korean dramas
doesn’t bring them negative effects, no matter on their schoolwork or in their everyday lives.
Local Related studies According to Delos Reyes et.al (2017), based on the study they conducted Korean
dramas have been touching the teenagers’ personality through physical, emotional and mental state.
The effects acquired by them, affect their view of reality. Most of them are influenced by K-drama in
fashion aspect; they see that the shows that they watch have fashionable clothes, make-up and hair.
They become influenced of how k-fashion is shown in K-drama they watch. Some of the teens tend to
sacrifice their food and time just to watch KDramas they like. In some cases, lack of sleep due to desire
to watch is one of the factors. Their love of watching has affected their bodies. In mental side, because
of Korean dramas, instead of using Filipino slang they now start to use Korean expressions and terms
such as “aegyo” or acting cute randomly. Some of them think that they are emotionally maturing
because of K-Drama they watch. Since teenagers have been watching K-dramas for long time, most of
them are currently following a certain show of their choice. Some of the respondents consider watching
K-Dramas a part of their routine. It is very normal for them to watch K-Drama’s. Not because all of them
were addicted but because watching K-dramas gratifies their need for entertainment. As the teenagers
find their sense of escape in K-dramas, they have been dependent on it.
In a study, conducted by Alanzalon (2011) at University of the Philippines, it stated there that attraction
of the Filipino fans on the foreign media content was due to the presence of familiar cultural offerings
(language, visuals, cultural capital and story). These cultural offerings, in turn, gratified the needs of the
Filipino fans, especially in terms of their needs for entertainment (satisfied by visual and narrative
aspects) and information (satisfied by language and cultural capital).
