Abstract
What does consumption of East Asian popular culture really mean? What does it tell us, not only about the popular culture itself, but about us as consumers of this culture? How do we understand different popular culture genres produced in a very different and unfamiliar cultural context? Do these cultural differences manifested in popular culture matter for my students? My aim was to unpack students’ reading of popular culture texts, and to identify possible links between the text and their cultural identity
