I was reading this article and I couldn’t but help to see the parallels with kpop. Just replace anime with kpop and Japanese with Korean.

This also reminded me of the news of women going to Korea to find boyfriends, due to the influence of kdramas and kpop. If this is not fetishization then I dont know what is.

Obviously not everyone who follows kpop has an Asian fetish but we can’t ignore that it leads and reinforces fetishes for a part of them. In addition to stereotypes about Korean men and women. But it’s one of those things where money making (by selling a fantasy) is involved so nobody will complain.
