Move over, K-dramas! A fresh wave of cultural exchange is sweeping across Asia as Chinese and Vietnamese youths embrace each other’s pop culture – and it’s all about vibes, beats, and bingeworthy shows 🌟.
From Hanoi to Shanghai, Gen Zers are rewiring cultural connections. Chinese streaming hits like The Long Ballad dominate Vietnamese watchlists, while Vietnamese pop tracks amass millions of plays on Chinese music platforms like NetEase. 🎧
