South Korea is pretty good about pumping out culturally relevant stuff too. Honestly I’d say they do it better than Japan these days (not that I’m personally interested in stuff like k-pop, but it’s clearly huge)
Korea is certainly ascendant but I doubt they’ve passed Japan in cultural exports. At least in the US, there is anime and Sushi in basically every population center these days, whereas Korean BBQ and chicken are still mostly popular in large urban areas (where sushi is still way more popular).
Genuine question: How exactly are they more culturally relevant than Japan besides K-pop and maybe Korean novels? When it comes to matters besides entertainment, I guess I’m a little clueless.

Their movie industry seems to be on the rise, too. Not sure I’d say they’re outpacing Japan though
