"Life in America was pretty unfulfilling and pretty stressed out. Like most folks, just in a rat race."

Kim Kardashian's life maps onto the entire history of media in the new millennium, starting with her family's role in the O.J. Simpson trial, which was a major televised event.

The Korean wave or hallyu that brought the country's culture to the world has now well and truly engulfed Latin America.

After a lot of deep and sincere conversations among us members, all 13 of us have decided to renew our contracts. We will continue to sail on the same ship and row forward together.

Netflix's smash-hit, Oscar-nominated animated film KPop Demon Hunters is returning for a sequel, with the fictional Korean girl group HUNTR/X coming back to lay down pop hits and smash evil boybands (and/or other demons).

Korean culture has become a familiar presence in American life. K-pop dominates global charts, K-dramas have become staples on streaming platforms, Korean food has moved from specialty shops to neighborhood grocery stores, and K-beauty brands line retail shelves nationwide.

And maybe it's a bit of a broadside in the ongoing K-pop war between NewJeans and their parent label, Hybe.

From the surprise revival of older songs like Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in shows like "Stranger Things," to streaming the most originally produced music documentaries, there's no doubt Netflix's audience is musically in tune.
