🕖用新聞學英文｜雙語教學花路米：Korean TV Shows Becoming More Popular in US. 韓國電視節目在美國愈趨熱門

👉Article K-pop has gained international popularity in recent years, but it's not the only South Korean entertainment that's popular outside of the country. South Korean TV shows, often called K-dramas, now have a growing audience in the US. Streaming site Rakuten Viki has shows from South Korea — as well as other Asian countries — and subscribers from around the world. Its largest audience is from the US, 75% of which is non-Asian. Other streaming sites are also adding more South Korean shows. Apple TV+ is working on two Korean language projects, one based on the show Dr. Brain, and another on Min Jin Lee's book Pachinko. In 2021, Netflix is spending nearly $500 million to produce South Korean shows and has worked with major companies in the country, including Studio Dragon and JTBC. The awareness of K-dramas outside South Korea seems to be growing, said Joan MacDonald, a Forbes writer who covers entertainment from the country. "The number of people that contacted me in the last year and a half to say, 'Oh, I just discovered K-dramas, what do you recommend?' It's significant." Streaming services have made it easy to watch shows from other countries, but MacDonald believes one reason for the popularity of K-dramas is because they blend genres like K-pop does. She said that you could watch a TV show that "keeps changing genres all the way through." MacDonald says K-pop fans also try K-dramas because "a lot of K-pop stars are in dramas." She said that a lot of actors start singing careers too. 👉Summary 近年來，南韓流行文化在全球迅速擴散，除了K-pop之外，韓劇也逐漸在國際市場受到歡迎，尤其是在美國。隨著串流平台興起，世界各地的觀眾更容易接觸韓劇。例如樂天Viki提供多國影視節目，其觀眾以美國為最大宗，其中約75%為非亞洲族群。其他平台也積極投入韓國內容，Apple TV+與韓國團隊合作製作韓語影集，Netflix更在2021年投入近5億美元製作韓劇，並與Studio Dragon、JTBC等公司合作。 《富比士》作家Joan MacDonald表示，越來越多海外觀眾開始關注韓劇。她認為韓劇受歡迎的原因之一，是劇情常融合不同風格與類型，內容多變且具有吸引力。此外，韓樂與韓劇之間的互動也帶動人氣，許多K-pop歌手參與戲劇演出，演員也可能跨足歌唱，使更多粉絲關注韓國娛樂產業。 References Article: Engoo Daily News (https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/have-you-made-these-common-cooking-mistakes/Nw_MiOQLEeuJD-dPoOIzKg) (https://engoo.com.tw/) #每周一、四更新 #收聽無廣告不用APP選教育電台 線上收聽 #進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道 ☆若您對本頻道節目有任何疑問或建議，請e-mail 至：[email protected] ----- 英語節目主持人：屠潔(Jenny)、Neil ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：世界咖啡館 ----- ----- 🎙教育電臺🎙 📻官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV 🔗粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink 🎧線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE 🎙Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5 Powered by Firstory Hosting
