Really?

Androgenous / gender non-conforming dress originated in KPop/anime/manga. Same with the slim aesthetic for men.

E-girls/boys are all the rage these days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-girls_and_e-boys

Asians are quietly, but strongly breaking in to the charisma of the upper class. See the popularity of the movie Crazy Rich Asians.

In terms of power, it's debatable, but China seems like a more powerful nation than the United States every day that passes.

No, androgynous dress did not originate in KPop Asia. That is an incredibly shallow and probably wrong take. Look at Little Richard or any other androgynous star from the 50s and 60s. It was a thing long before that too.
