K-culture is differentiated from Korean culture in a variety of ways. The former is primarily constructed for export, and its success or failure is determined by the waves it makes overseas. It is polite, well-mannered, and now contains a hybrid of many different styles so as to achieve mass appeal and maximum profits.
Much of what is produced by K-culture is glocalized. That is, it creates a third-space of culture by taking and responding to elements of global influence, combining them with local processes, and producing something unique.
This newly-created culture therefore has both universal and particular characteristics. It has the production values and technological advancements expected from a successful nation as well as specific socio-cultural characteristics that reflect local tendencies in terms of economics, religion, and cultural ethos.
