As a Korean K-pop fan, this was a very impressive video. Proper videos are really rare, so it's amazing that an Indian KZbinr made this video. He seems like someone who has studied Korea for a long time. However, there is one thing to point out: Korea's idol system has nothing to do with Japan. Japan does not have a professional care system for idols like Korea does. Lee Soo-man, who was the head of SM Entertainment, said he was inspired by America's New Kids on the Block and Motown Records. Motown Records created the first artist training system.

Secondly, the Screen Quota policy, which played a siginificant role in advancing korean film industry. Thanks for sharing your insights.

I learned this from the case study of South Korea: 1. Censorship shouldn't be used as a weapon to suppress the opposition but rather used as a tool to increase quality of media. 2. There are very less countries where people can openly criticize and address the problems in the government, having independent media enhances the spirit of a democracy. 3. Every politician has to choose between greed and development. Those who choose greed are forgotten but, revolutionaries are immortal.

I'm a Korean. First of all, I think it is very wrong for some clubs and restaurants in Korea to ban Indians and Pakistanis from entering. However, they later retracted their policy. Of course, there are racist Koreans, but there are also many Koreans who criticize this and do not. Thinking that all Koreans are racist based on a few examples only spreads further hatred. Rather, many Indians are living well in Korea without being discriminated against, there are many Koreans who like India, and there are also K-POP artists from India. If Koreans are really racist, how is this possible? I've seen a lot of comments from Indians making fun of Koreans for being homosexual or having plastic surgery. Would it be correct if I used these few Indians as an example to assume that all Indians are racist? If Indians think all Koreans are racist, believe whatever you want. However, that only creates further hatred and prejudice and does not help the friendship between India and Korea. I hope both countries respect each other and get along well.

very rightly said and explained, there is an urgent need to foster our culture across the globe. every state of India possesses a very rich and diverse culture, yet nobody is taking steps towards nurturing it. Now, it becomes the responsibility of all state governments to do something in this regard. Also, one thing I figured out from your video is that instead of hard power, soft power can provide us a gateway for becoming a developed nation soon and our economy can also thrive by soft power fostering. Every state has its own cultural dress and history and that if adduced can be proven spectacular.

There's one more thing that India can learn from South Korea. Though this is not limited to only Korea, many other Asian countries have this characteristic. Koreans/Taiwanese don't honk on the streets. They follow very strict road discipline. They don't talk loudly at public places. They keep their surroundings clean. These very basic things make a huge difference. India is the totally opposite of this. Which has now become our identity. As far as culture is concerned, Indian states have done exemplary work. Punjabi music is a global phenomenon. Tamil and Telugu movies have been a great vehicle of their respective cultures. When I visited Sri Lanka, I met a gentleman at Galle. He asked me where I was from and I was surprised when he said that he watches Malayalam movies and is a huge fan or Prithviraj Sukumar. Last but not the least, Bollywood movies are taking India to the world. Whether we like it or not, Bollywood is the biggest doorway for a foreigner into the Indian cultural realm. The only problem is that our filmmakers must understand their responsibility and make films sensibly.

[@Soulhandle234]

Agreed, instead of making ridiculous movies like Animal Bollywood should make real life problems movies, and logical actions if you want to make fiction movie with excellent stories that can literally impress people. Media plays a vital role and film makers should understand their responsibilities that they can really make a change better than the govt.

Hey dhruv rathee . I am a student and want you to tell about Kota . I was a student there. Coaching center along with hostel promise a lot of things but none of them are true . Many students go their . Most of them get health issues and return back to their place feeling guilty. Even some people suicide as they get fed of studies. Only some people are able to study and even it is not guaranteed of their selection in Neet or jee.There are many negatives about kota . All of them I cannot mention here . Even I was trapped in their promises but I realised buisness strategy when my health issues started. It was too serious that even life would have been gone. I was 2 months in hospital and they didn't even call me . Even they were not accepting to change for online without any more money. It was father who told the DCP and he helped me out. There are many students and parents who are willing to go to kota or to send their children to kota. Please make next case study on the place kota

[@YaseenKabir]

So it clear they took the admission for money not to educate 🤡

[@poke84847]

Yes we need a detailed video on kota from dhruv

[@anjana_p_]

I totally agree, I too have been through this😢

[@divyaanshverma8304]

Bhai me to Kota me hu 🙁🙁 merse khud ni hoti padhai 11th barbaad hogyi 12 class ka bhi uncertain hai. Coaching wale jhoote waade dikhate hain unhe koi fark ni padta students se bas paise kmane hain unhe. Monopolies Banna h sabko

[@hariommeena9085]

They have established their so called coaching institutes to EARN MONEY not to educate anyone. Even they don't care you are going to coaching or not they will call you when theere is time to deposit fees. Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot took steps & took meeting with all the coaching tycoons on this issue but after that govt. gone @Dhruv Rathee you should make video on KOTA's Life

[@phuntsok5475]

Most awaited video I have fan of Korean culture from 2013 and I must say u really justify the topic and present it in most sensible way.

[@nabora25]

As a indian and k drama and k pop viewer i respect both countries, india and korea both are equally rich in culture and other things like music and movies.. But i feel sad that our indian industry is stuck in old same stories and nothing is new that can reach to global level.. We really need something that can help with this thing.. I'm not saying that india is failure because we recently gave some outstanding movies like RRR, pushpa etc.. We loved that india got recognition that we all wanted... We need to help ourselves just like korea did... I respect and love both countries. And here's a note for teenagers: remember even if you are k pop or k drama addict just never forget to respect the culture you are born in.. Support art, movies, dance and music or anything that is related to it❤ It helps our country too! Thank you dhruv rathi for amazing video.. It was Inspiring❤❤😊

[@Crazy_shipper]

Right india ki industry keval ladko ko ladkiyo ke peeche bhagne ke liy prerit karti hai. Aur ek unsafe mahol bana diya hai aurato ke liy india me.

[@iamajustababa2000s]

Rightly said.

[@Rehmankhan_8]

I think India is more rich culture to Korean but Indians don't promote our culture feel sad to see people appreciate other country and defame our country

[@Shiv_Rajput07]

I found one mature K-Fan in this comment section who love other culture but not forgot his/her own culture like some toxic K-Fan...

[@nabora25]

@Akarsh2008 thanx for your heartwarming response on my comment.. I love how you show respect toward what actually people trying to say here! It's not about 7000-2000 it's about how they are promoting there culture .. You liberandu!

[@somathakursengupta5586]

Aapke saare ideas and videos pasand ata h Dhruv, all of them...kyunki aap jo kar rahe ho bahat kam log karte h aur karne ki ichcha rakhte h...aap logo ko information provide karte ho, educate karte ho aur truth explain karte ho.God bless you Dhruv❤

Conclusion is we have to support our culture to grow and attract the world towards us & not to copy others ❤

[@Crazy_shipper]

Yes but people here think indian culture is just about Hinduism . We all know India's culture is diverse. Aur yha to religion ke nam pe ladne se logo ko fursat nhi

True, but the culture that is given us by Saints, Mahatmas, etc. of every culture... not by politicians of every culture.

[@rajnikler]

Sir you are great❤ u.. very knowledgeable videos present by you. Thank you for information.

[@fabtins1993]

Great video Dhruv. Korean dramas, movies and bands today are popular globally. Korea has really been successful in making the best of its talent and culture. Any nation wanting to become developed shouldn't ignore the potential of films, media, music and even sports. And to harvest the true potential in these areas, it's important to read the environment and people. Hollywood has played an undeniable part in increasing the soft-power of US. A nation truely can only grow when someone truly caring takes the lead. In India where crony capitalism is thriving and big businesses get projects in return for handsome donations, one wonders if true development on a global scale is really possible. Chaebols were restricted for nation's benefit in Korea. Can the same happen in India where politicians shake hands with big businesses for personal benefits?

[@TSA333]

Very positive mind, smart man! Good luck to your country, everything is possible!!🎉

[@paromitadey9548]

Instead of insulting them and degrading them like others. You really showed us how to respect them and what can we learn from them how to be inspired by them. Another day of not regretting to follow you sir🙏🏻 many people degrade us for respecting and loving k culture, kdrama, k-pop but I'm really happy that you made this video about SK❤️❤️ Thank you sir🙏🏻

[@thoughtsofgreatmind15]

Loving other culture is good but forgetting and not spreading our own culture is way more bad

[@PankajSingh-vz5ne]

So do they like indian culture the way u like their culture. Do they like our movies and songs the way u like. It is a one way thing, u like theirs they don't even care about yours even ban indians from entering in clubs and other public places.
