Lisa (BlackPink) and Tzuyu (TWICE) competing for luxury mansions and luxury apartments
豪邸と高級マンションで競うリサ(BlackPink)とツウィ(TWICE)


As the world economy and politics are unstable under the gloom of COVID-19, K-Pop idol stars Lisa (BlackPink) and Tzuyu (TWICE) have purchased a luxury mansion and a super luxury apartment, creating a big buzz.
This news reminded me of the great actresses of the past, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.
They were known as million-dollar actresses, and were big stars who continued to shine brightly during the golden age of Hollywood movies.
Watching the movies they starred in, we (us) at the time nurtured our admiration, dreams, and hopes (although Hollywood seemed far away, of course).
This was 60 years ago, so we can't easily convert the $1 million we spent back then into today's monetary value.
However, the fact remains that luxury homes and apartments worth 400 or 800 million yen are still the object of admiration for ordinary people today.
Sixty years have passed, and it seems that Hollywood movies and Western music that inspire the dreams of young boys and girls have become far removed from the perspective of young people in Asia today.
This is because over the past decade or so, K-POP has gained fans all over the world, grown in popularity, and secured a global position.
Lisa and Tzuyu's story of the American Dream must have inspired great admiration not only in Asia, but also in young people in the West...
