Guest CriticalHit Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 They don't really care. My family is pure cantonese, but we still watch Full House at dinnertime. Well my parents need to change the language into cantonese lol but they don't really have a bad or good reaction, they just don't care. They treat it as if i'm just reading a book or something.

Guest genna Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 They don't find it weird or anything cause it's pretty much the same as liking Chinese series or music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clemie186 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I honestly don't remember what their first reaction was when they found out.. but they were watching korean dramas on tv, a few years back before I started being all Chinese and took note of Japanese and Korean culture. But my family would be like ... " are you watching a korean/japanese movie/drama again?" every once in a while.. It's not awkward or anything.. I'm chinese and when I first started getting into chinese stuff, they didn't mind, as long as it boosted my interest in my own culture... then I started getting into Japanese and Korean media... they really don't mind, just another step of becoming more asian and less white washed i guess...

Guest HERMIT Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Well, let's put it this way: my mom has 4 Shinhwa posters up on her bedroom wall and my dad bumps BoA in his mini van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chobit145 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 "I that Korean or Japanese Music you listening to?" I used to be UBER obssesed with J-Pop a while ago, so now that I tell them that I listen to K-Music they always ask this question when they want to tell me something xD; For K-Drama, there okay, cause they Canto dubbed Korean Drama's on TV x] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DOUBLE Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Uhh they don't really care. o__o;;; Actually my mom and grandmother likes some of the music and watches gameshows & gayos with me sometimes. They can only take so much if we're listening to a CD in the car during a long trip, though. 8D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchlight Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well, before I got into Korean music, I was into Japanese music. My parents were kinda freaked out by the J-Rock world, and began to think I held Asian music (and thus, Asian people) in a higher esteem than American music and people..which is ridiculous. When I got into the Korean music scene, my father sometimes made comments about how they're alright, but they're not real: 'they have no real talent, they just imitate what came from here' but my mother dove headfirst into the culture with me--she's come to concerts with me, listens to the Korean music on her mp3 player when she runs, and watches Korean dramas with me. <3Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antz Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 At first they were questioning me about why the heck I would listen to something that I cannot speak… same with my siblings. They often say things in Korean (that aren’t even Korean words) just to tease me, or something. They already watch Korean dramas (except dubbed -__-”) so they don’t usually say anything, but just if there’s no subs or something… they would be like.. Errr.. ” I just say I understand a bit, soo. :/ I think they’re just used to it now. ^^ They still question, but they don’t really mind. It’s not damaging my health so they don’t mind. =D Hopefully they’ll accept me doing Korean in Uni next year, though :x if I get in. Sighh.

Guest forgottenmemories Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've listened to korean music and watched korean dramas since the 6th grade, at first my parents were pretty skeptical about it, they thought it was a cry for attention? Lol. But now, they don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest immaperson Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 My entire family and i have tolerated my sister's obsession with anime and japanese songs for years...so when i started to play korean songs instead of my sister's japanese ones out loud at home my parents just went "wait....is this song japanese?"
