The Impacts of 'Hallyu'

Image
Since the 2010s, Korean pop culture has been on the rise in Bangladesh. In the year 2016, like many of my classmates, I had just discovered Korean songs, dramas, and movies. Although I was skeptical at first, I soon found myself entranced by Korean culture. BTS's early songs, which spoke up for rebellious teenagers who didn't want their ambitions to be dashed by society, drew me into the K-POP scene. I’m not a teenager anymore but neither are they. These days, their songs deal with issues such as self-love, mental health, women's empowerment, capitalism, being lost in life, or simply having a terrible day. Similar to BTS, other Korean artists including EXO, Psy, BLACKPINK, TWICE, and Korean dramas and films have contributed to the globalization of Korean cultural content; which is known as ‘Hallyu’. It is quite remarkable how much Hallyu contributes to South Korea's economy and soft power given that it has become a worldwide phenomenon. Hallyu Hallyu or Korean Wave ref...

Absurdism and the myth of Sisyphus

Image
  What is Absurdism? Absurdism is a philosophical belief that existence in its entirety is absurd. This implies that there is no higher meaning to the world and it is immutable to reasoning. One cannot decipher one’s existence through logic and rational reasoning. This is the basis of Absurdism. The term “absurd” mainly refers to the conflict or dichotomy of two things, mainly being the irrationality of the preserved world and the human nature to find rationality in that irrationality. According to absurdist theorists and philosophers, the world lacks any real meaning or any higher motive, there is no reason for one being alive. In other words, there is no purpose to life. Absurdism’s basis is derived from existentialism and it shares many similarities with its contemporary beliefs of nihilism and pessimism in terms of life being meaningless, yet it differs from them in the stance that they see the meaninglessness of life as a natural outcome of the eternal conflict of findin...
