Yeah it has, At first it really didnt but then I started watching shows more often, esp WGM and Family Outing which I've watched all episodes up to now. And I've got the clapping when laughing off Hwangbo, lol. And I cover my mouth when laughing but not always. I sometimes speak korean as well just words, especially when i'm embrassed i say "what to do" but in korean. (ottoke)
All their dances in their songs influences me to dance too and learn their dances, lol.

i tend to say omooo.
Love. Music.

Well sorta... i have been using "aish" when i type.
but in the real world not so much. in my culture girls cover their mouth when they laugh too loud plus i have braces so i dont wanna show people that when im laughing loud.
I do have the typical asian hairstyle though which was originally started in korea but now everyone has it here in the states.
Koreans bow when meeting or leaving and i do that too in my culture so thats not a change. but koreans tend to say "im leaving thank you" and then bow as they leave. i never did that til recently so does that count? (I usually just say bye and bow)

hahhaa I never paid much attention until quite recently. But whenever I laugh, I always clap now... and I also cover my mouth/half of my face when I laugh too... haha..
I always say 'omo' without thinking....
LOL, I also bow now? Like not proper, but when I'm leaving a place, I always tend to bow a bit... keke ^^
and I don't know if this is because of Korean influence or not lol, but my left eye goes smaller when I smile now lol.. almost like I'm winking?
I never realised that they do indeed influence us quite a bit...

I`ve been influenced as well!:D Because I was so addicted to K-pop && K-dramas, I randomly studied speaking, writing && reading Korean! Lol.:] I usually cover my mouth when I laugh.. I always say "ya!" or "eh?".. Korean stuffs are pretty much addictive.

come to think of it, i certainly notice i do tend to clap whenever i laugh...
covering my mouth is always been my habit...
coz i really do have a loud laugh..
which somehow sounds like Heechul's laughter???
i tend to say "aishh..." when i get frustrated too...also tend to say "ah really..."
now i'm SO into k-pop esp Super Junior..i listen to their songs most of the time...
try to learn the lyrics..learn how to pronounce the words correctly...
their song "Sorry Sorry" is such a big hit now right?
the funny & weird thing about me regarding this is....
whenever i say the word 'sorry', the song automatically starts playing in my head...
or....if i keep saying that word, i start singing it.... o.O
eventually i thank myself for being influenced by the korean culture..
coz i'm becoming more lively & more down-to-earth...
plus it makes me appreciate of being an asian

YES definitely SO!!! like i'm so addicted to K-drama and K-pop... I've already watched 59 Korean series would you believe it.. I can finish 1 whole series for just like 1 and half days... hahaha with just 2- 3 hrs sleep, break for taking a bath and eating... hahaha
I love korean food, love to go to Korea, love their language and expressions *aishht*, love the couple shirts, love the piggy back, love the soju, and many more to mention... in short love everything Korean... hahaha my friends told me before that maybe i was a korean in past life... girlfriend of Kim Hyun Joong *in my dreams* hahaha how i wish...

i can say that i was really influenced by them.. just like the others, i often say "aigoo", "omo" and "aish" whenever i get angry or suprised. and it's really funny, because i feel like a korean too.. my iPOD is full of Korean songs, and actually all of it are Korean songs.. i started watching korean dramas since i was 12 and i'm now 15, that maybe was the reason.. my dad would often call me a "koreana" (a term in Tagalog for Korean women) because i stay awake at midnight just to watch korean dramas.. my ideal boy is a korean-type one too.. because of Kevin of U-kiss and Key of SHINee .. i speak korean .. and my greatest dream is to go to Korea..

I too have been suffering from Korean addiction. My ipod is also filled with Kpop songs.. I should also become an honorary member of Yesasia from buying kpop cds and dramas(korean)from them..in fact I always get discounts from them whenever i buy now. I have posters of Korean guys(DBSK, Se7en, & SUJU) in my room. Ipractice speaking hangul with my family, which btw they found amusing at first, but now I think I'm irritating the hell out of them--especially Appa and Omma. I have memorized all DBSK, SUJU, Se7en, Rain, 1TYM, and although Boa has too many songs to memorize, I can sing a lot of her songs in hangul by heart. I've even contmainated my lil brother and my 2 bestfriends...now they're into Kpop and Kdamas. And I even started going out with Jay, my boyfriend coz he looks korean and like to pop-n-lock like many Kpop idols..teeheehee I plan to go to Korea when I've saved up enough money... I've got it real bad..jincha..

i like the fashion style of korean the mix and match outfit.

Positive influence- the culture, the taste of dramas, traits of korean - courtesy, respect for elders.

I can say, I've been addicted too... just like you, my ipod lot of korean songs...specially BOA...I'm one of her avid fan...I like her so much, her golden voice and the way she dance...hehehe...currently listening to the other k-pop idol one of these 2ne1, 4 minutes, kara etc...but no one can replace BOA any of them...hehehe...
Aside from listening k-pop I've been addicted in drama, my cabinet was full of korean DVD's drama and movies...lot of korean artist my fav too...
As a result...I want to try their lifestyle...hm, even though I've been at korea once, maybe that time the influence not enough...my auntie convince me to eat korean food and teach me korean language, that time not my type and no interest at all:iloveyou: but now my fav food kimchi...hehehe...
