Authors sometimes focus more on their own ideas than the character’s real story. This can push away fans. Manga usually lets stories finish, and old characters are not constantly reused. New manga series have to attract fans because of their story, not just because of a famous character.

In thr post it is also explained that in Western comics, old characters like Batman or Spider-Man are often rewritten by different authors who change the story or character too much

In contrast, Western superhero comics can be confusing because they have many reboots, alternate timelines, and decades of history. New readers often do not know where to start.

Manga also tells stories in a simpler and more welcoming way. Most manga start at the beginning and follow one clear storyline with a single author they usually have an ending This makes it easy for new readers to join and enjoy the full story.

Also manga has many different genres. It does not focus only on superheroes like Western comics often do. Instead, manga has romance, drama, comedy, horror, fantasy, and much more. This means people with different tastes can find something they enjoy.

According to the post, manga usually give around 200 pages for a low price, while Western comics are often shorter, colorful, and more expensive. This makes manga better value for money.

Manga is becoming very popular in the Western world because it is cheaper, easier to access, offers more variety, and gives readers clearer and more complete stories.

Also, many virtual idols are controlled by real people using their voice or movement. Those real people do have rights, feelings, and need protection

Technology may make virtual idols look and sound more real, but the difference will not fully disappear. Virtual idols can't share the human experience hard work, emotion, pain, or growth which is a big part of why people love real idols.

Virtual idols, on the other hand, are digital characters created using technology, they don’t have real feelings or lives, they don’t get sick, don’t age, and don’t have scandals, which makes them easy for companies to control.

I think the most important difference is that human idols are real people with emotions, limits, and personal histories, while virtual idols are digital constructions shaped entirely by technology and control. Fans connect with human idols because their struggles and real-life stories feel genuine.

Treating Korea as purely a fantasy space may be comfortable, but it overlooks the lived realities of many people, especially women, and so misses part of the truth of what this culture actually contains.

I believe international fans need to know about this, not out of guilt but to become more informed. Outsiders absolutely have a right to speak out about gender issues in Korea, so long as they approach with respect, listen to Korean feminist voices, and don’t assume they have all the answers.

Because these issues are rooted in many layers of the entertainment industry, law enforcement, and social culture, fans abroad who only consume K-pop content may unintentionally support structures that support these problems.

According to the article Korea has struggled for years with systemic gender based violence, a huge gender gap, hidden-camera crimes and scandals like the Burning Sun scandal.

Many international fans of the Hallyu wave see only the bright, glamorous side of Korea stylish idols, music, performances and so the deep problems of misogyny in South Korea stay hidden.

For me, it is not just a love story, but also a reminder of how much freedom and empathy matters in life

From my perspective, the film opened a window into a kind of emotional world. The film made me think about how societies everywhere have to go through similar processes of learning prejudice.

The director lived through a time when expressing same sex love was dangerous is story feels personal and painful, yet full of courage.

maybe because of that background, watching a film like Your Name Engraved Herein made me reflect on how much the way we are raised affects our understanding of love and identity.

At home, my family didn’t talk much about homosexuality. It wasn’t a forbidden topic, but more like something that existed “somewhere else,” not really part of our reality.

Teachers often expressed their personal views on homosexuality, sometimes even calling it as something unnatural. This environment shaped how I first learned to think about gender and sexuality through a limited and somewhat judgmental lens.

However, older generations still often struggle to understand or accept these issues. Growing up, I could feel this generational gap quite clearly. In school, the way relationships were taught was kinda traditional. We learned about love and family mostly in the context of a man and a woman.

toward the LGBTQ+ community, especially among younger generations. However, older generations still often struggle to understand or accept these issues. Growing up, I could feel this generational gap quite clearly

Watching Your Name Engraved Herein was an emotional experience for me, not only because of its story but also because of how different my own background is. In my home county, a society that in recent years has become more open and supportive ⬇️

so rather than banning games, the WHO approach tells us we should be aware of signs of trouble, provide help, and teach healthy habits. Instead of strict prohibition, we could bring attention to an issue
