  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does.

My 2019/2020 TRAPE is about Korean Entertainment! I have been into K-Pop for almost 3 years and I have always been researching lots of things about Korean celebrities, their activities and their TV shows. Since I was a child, I have always been very curious about the Asian culture, even though I thought they were gangster. As I grew up, I have become more and more connected to their culture. Then, at the end of 2016, I listened to my first K-Pop song ever. I was 10 years old and I was in primary school when I got to know EXO, the first group I listened to. They had a big impact in my life because in that moment I was struggling mentally and physically... The only thing that made me happy, was listening to their songs! They would make feel better in every way possible, once I listened to some music, I’d completely forget about my worries. It was always the best part of my days. That is why I have grown attached to K-Pop songs, dances and singers. Table of contents WHAT WERE THE MOST FAMOUS SERIES (KOREAN DRAMAS)? (2019) IS IT POPULAR IN OTHER COUNTRIES?

  • Idolizing Consumption
    Idolizing Consumption An Exploration of the K-pop Albums’ Relevance in a Digital Age A Master’s Thesis for the Degree of Master of Arts (120 credits) in Visual Culture Wibecka Oliver Division of Art History and Visual Studies Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences Lund University KOVM12, Master Thesis, 30 credits Supervisor: Peter Bengtsen Spring semester 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Peter Bengtsen for his patience and guidance during every step of the writing process. I would also like to thank my colleague Fannie Baden, as well as my good friends Elizabeth Trout Elmore and Jacqueline Graham for their endless encouragement. I wish to thank my parents Kiki and Dale Oliver for their unwavering support, as well as my partner Dominic Ninmark, for always being willing to listen and reminding me to take breaks. Lastly, thank you to my dog, Loki Alfred Oliver for being the best study partner, confidante and writing companion anyone could ask for. I could not have completed this thesis without each and every one of you. ii Abstract This thesis looks into the rise of the K-pop album, examining how physical CDs retain relevance in a digital age. Concepts of collectability, authenticity and the gaze are explored in relation to these unique products. The relationship between consumer and K-pop ‘idol’ is understood through a semiotic breakdown of visual narratives within the product, in conjunction with the reimagined structure of the albums as a whole. Developments in merchandising have created a physical product that offers something entirely different from its practical usage; rather than buying just a physical CD, fans are purchasing a chance to connect with the idols on what is perceived to be a more personal level.

  • The Digital Transformation of the Korean Music Industry and the Global Emergence of K-Pop
    sustainability Article The Digital Transformation of the Korean Music Industry and the Global Emergence of K-Pop Jimmyn Parc 1 and Shin Dong Kim 2,* 1 Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA), Sciences Po Paris, France and Institute of Communication Research, Seoul National University, Seoul 150599, Korea; [email protected] 2 Media School, Hallym University, Chuncheon 24252, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 August 2020; Accepted: 15 September 2020; Published: 21 September 2020 Abstract: There are a number of voices who blame digitization for having a number of negative effects on the music industry including a decline in album sales, copyright infringement, unfair royalty payments, and competition with foreign multinationals. Yet, the global emergence of Korean pop music or K-pop suggests a different narrative, particularly given that its growth was largely unexpected among industry experts. Understanding the key to its international breakthrough can thus produce meaningful lessons for the music industries of other countries for their own further take-off. This constitutes the focus for this paper. Digitization has influenced various sectors of the Korean music industry such as business, society, and consumers. It has also transformed the management focus of the industry from analog to digital, from offline to online, from albums to songs, from specialization to integration, from domestic providers to international suppliers, from audio sound to visual images, from possessing to accessing, and from limited integration to synergistic network. This signifies that embracing technology advancement can enhance the competitiveness of cultural industries. Keywords: digitization; digital transformation; K-pop; Korean music industry; Hallyu; Korean wave; cultural industries In recent years, a number of voices in the music industry have blamed online streaming services like Spotify (Stockholm, Sweden) and YouTube (San Brino, CA, USA) for having a negative effect globally on the music business.

  • Kpop-Textbook.Pdf
    Chapter 1: What is Kpop? K-pop (an abbreviation of Korean pop or Korean popular music) is a musical genre consisting of electronic, hip hop, pop, rock, and R&B music originating in South Korea. In addition to music, K-pop has grown into a popular subculture among teenagers and young adults throughout Asia, resulting in widespread interest in the fashion and style of Korean idol groups and singers. Kpop is . Culture One of the more problematic cultural aspects of Kpop is perfection. It’s like taking a mold and using it to shape young men and women into what they’re “supposed to look like.” Plastic surgery is acceptable and in most cases, preferable. It’s not an idea exclusive to the music industry; it’s a lesson taught starting in the home. Image is everything. The rich working class lifestyle is a goal that needs to be achieved. The pressures of achieving perfection – working hard, studying endlessly, and deconstruction of the face and body – are an everyday thing But Kpop also highlights everything that is amazing about Korean culture. There’s a term called the Hallyu Wave, which represents all of Korean pop culture: the music, the dramas, the beauty/skincare, the food, the traditional clothing, the importance of family and respect, and the history behind this beautiful country. For fans like me, there is no better feeling in the world than to see these artists live out their lives as happily as they can. I love to feel the music lift me up from the day’s chaos and give me the strength to set one foot in front of the other.
