The Success and Challenges of Cultural Exports
Korea has been remarkably successful in exporting its culture worldwide, despite its language barrier. The popularity of Japanese manga and anime highlights their cultural soft power, with many young people worldwide being avid consumers. Even during a declining domestic market, Japan's cultural industry thrived internationally, defying expectations and contributing to its global relevance. In contrast, China's attempts to export culture have been less successful, hindered by censorship and limitations on storytelling that resonate internationally.

The success of cultural exports continues to play a significant role in shaping geopolitical dynamics, especially in the context of artistic freedom and the ability to create globally resonating stories.
