Why did Britain’s 1990s cultural boom fade - and could the same happen to today’s Korean Wave? In this intermediate English listening episode, explore how music, film and national identity shape global trends, from Oasis and the Spice Girls to BTS, K-Pop and Squid Game.

Improve your English through cultural analysis while learning key vocabulary related to media, politics and soft power. Discover how Cool Britannia rose, why it declined, and what South Korea’s global influence might reveal about the future of cultural “coolness”.
