In the past couple years, Twitter has become a viable method of reporting and reading about breaking news events. It gives citizen journalists–and professionals a way to publish news stories as they happen, long before the television news can put together an urgent news bulletin.

North Koreans enjoy watching South Korean soap operas as much as anyone across Asia, a recent defector told Time magazine. "People watch them in secret." "In recent years, bootlegged South Korean dramas have been flooding into the northern neighbor -- part of a recent explosion across Asia of Korean TV shows and music known as the Korean Wave."

Japanese Comic Insults K-pop Idols
A Japanese comic book about Anti-‘Korean wave’ has come as a shock to the Korean society as it disparaged K-pop stars, including Girls’ Generation and KARA.
The book titled, “Case of fabricated K-pop boom,” is spreading out quickly on Japanese websites.
It is said in the book girl’s idols have to give sex service in the Korean entertainment industry and that the Korean government has invested 20 million dollars a year to fabricate the ‘Korean wave’ in Japan.
Drawings in the comic book caused public outrage. The characters of Girls’ Generation only wear underwear while KARA was hip-dancing without any clothes.
The comic only stresses the dark side of the Korean entertainment such as suicide, bribes and sex service by mentioning Jang Ja-yeon who committed suicide in 2009.
Meanwhile, Korean netizens have been enraged. “It is as rubbish as the country’s nationality.” “Each agent should sue for libel.”

Japanese March Against Korean Soap Operas
Japanese demonstrators march against Korean soap operas and TV shows in front of Fuji TV. The size of the protest -- 6,000 people -- was about the same as for an anti-nuclear protest following the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. Waving Japanese flags, protesters chanted slogans demanding the broadcaster stop airing Korean programs and carried signs saying "No More Korean Wave" or "No More K-pop" and "Stop Biased Programming."

K-pop groupshamstrung
by contracts
The revolt against their management agency by three members of the popular K-pop girl group KARA laid bare once again the vulnerability of idol groups tied by what have been known as “slave-like contracts” to their agencies. Some insiders saw it as a tug-of-war the estranged members initiated to amend contract terms to get a bigger portion of the agency’s profit with the band’s popularity soaring in Japan. Critics believe, the latest dispute will put a negative spin on the growing influence of Korean songs, films and other cultural products in Asians countries, including Japan and China.

US advertisers interested in K-pop news site
The website delivers the latest news stories about K-pop stars. Alongside the news are banner ads for American websites that specialize in travel, shoes, electronic gadgets accessories and fashion goods. Noh said many American companies that advertise on allkpop are interested in the Asian-American demographic. It has been growing exponentially, from 2 million unique visitors in early 2010 to 3 million by the end of the year.
South Korea has emerged as one of the world’s major tourist destinations this year, at least among Chinese, Japanese and other Asian visitors, on the back of a weak Korean won against other currencies and the growing popularity of Korean pop culture in the region.

Media and Culture?
And video is proving that it has the same power. Cameras are cheaper and more powerful than ever, and most allow instant uploading to online video portals like YouTube. The online video community is carving out a nice niche for itself as an alternative source of high-quality footage. The news channels are no longer the only source for footage of breaking news events.
