Aimyon and imase are popular in Korea

Celeina: Korean culture is exploding in Japan right now, but I’ve heard that Japanese culture is also popular in Korea.

Ran: It ‘s really popular. Especially Japanese songs are popular. Anime and other things have been popular for a long time, but the songs have become popular.

Takano: What kind of Japanese music is popular?

Ran: Songs by Aimyon, for example. Also, imase’s music is super popular in Korea.

Celeina: That makes me happy. So, if you ask a person in his/her teens or twenties in Korea to sing a Japanese song, can he/she sing a song by Aimyon or imase?

Ran: I think I can. Really, really.

Celeina: That much! That’s amazing.

Takano: We are also happy, or rather, we are learning a lot.

Celeina: I guess it’s easier to reach them now with the development of SNS.

Ran: After Corona, a lot of Koreans are traveling to Japan, so maybe that’s why they became more popular. I don’t know.

Celeina: I see (laughs). By the way, today on “GRAND MARQUEE,” we are asking listeners for their recommendations for horror movies, manga, and other horror works.

Ran: I can’t watch them. I’m not very good at it.

Takano: Powerful! (laughs)

Celeina: I’m angry (laughs). (laughs) I mean, it’s a complete NG.

Ran: But there was one movie that I was forced to watch. It was a foreign horror movie called “Inheritance.” I couldn’t even stand the atmosphere of a movie theater with a scary movie playing, so I watched the whole movie with my eyes closed.

Celeina: The kind you can’t see (laughs).

Ran: It was probably scary. You should all see it.

Celeina: What about haunted houses? Have you ever been in a Japanese haunted house?

Ran: No, I haven’t.

Celeina: There are various genres of haunted houses, and some Japanese amusement parks are said to be the scariest in the world, so if you have a chance to fall in love with horror in the future, I hope you will experience a Japanese haunted house.

Ran: Oh ……. I hate …… now.

Celeina: Thank you (laughs). I hope everyone will check out Ran’s social networking sites, Instagram, TikTok, X, etc.

Ran: Please do.

Celeina: “FIST BUMP” today we welcome model and influencer Ran. Thank you very much.

Ran: Thank you very much.
