Hip-hop group Epik High (currently Tablo and Mithra Jin) follow up on last year’s hit double disc album ‘[e]’, with this special release LP featuring unreleased tracks from the duo. ‘Epilogue’ is the first album since DJ Tukutz’s military departure and is supposedly the last until he returns. Currently holding the crown in the Korean hip-hop scene as the most consistent group for the past 6 years, Epik High is no stranger to critical acclaim and mainstream success. Their music appeals to both underground and mainstream audiences, by pushing the envelope to promote artistry, poetry, and social issues in their lyrics. Spanning a time period of the past 6 years, there is a good variety of experimental hip-hop tracks ranging from soft rock to R&B found in ‘Epilogue’. The album starts off with a piano loop instrumental track before the high-energy, highly-emotional title track, “Run” is introduced. On this song, Tablo contributes by lending his singing voice on the inspirational chorus. The theme and message of “Run” is simple – never give up. As evident from the music video, which chronicles the life of a young man from birth, growing up in a loving, but troubled household, falling in and out of love, experiencing a personal tragedy and getting back up on his feet. The song makes a parallel comparison on life as a race. It is very radio friendly and is easily the catchiest song on the whole album. The next track is a slow R&B number called “Fool” which features Bumkey from Komplex. The tempo is a drastic change in pace after “Run” with a musical focus catering to the hopeless romantics. The song itself, comes off as somewhat forgettable, and not as memorable as “Run.” Thankfully, “Wordkill,” breaks off from that mood, immediately. Originally released on a special concert giveaway CD entitled ‘Lost Maps #001,’ most hardcore fans may already be familiar with this track. The only difference this time around, is the new chorus and tweaked instrumental. The song is about how discouraging words can hurt an individual. Interestingly enough, “Wordkill” was composed for 2008’s ‘Vol.5 Pieces: Part One’ but was cut from that album’s final track selection. Despite that, it is now one of the standout tracks on ‘Epilogue.’ Next on the tracklist is the instrumental piece, “Blossom.” Typical of most Epik High albums, the instrumental tracks are treated as both album interludes and legit musical works, unlike skits or fillers on other artists’ albums. By this regard, the beautiful melody on “Blossom” is certainly listenable, just like their other compositions. Moving forward to the sixth track, “비늘 (Skin)” is the only song on ‘Epilogue’ that features a guest emcee (Yankie from TBNY). As always, Yankie’s flow compliments well with Mithra and Tablo, but the beat for the song itself is a little dull. The three rappers take turns dissecting their thoughts to the sound of hard drums and a guitar loop. It’s not their best song together, but the lyrical chemistry amongst them is there. For fans of the title song, “잡음 (Distorted)”, has a sound similar to “Run.” The song format is switched around with Mithra rapping on the whole song while Tablo sings the hook. The track itself has a soft rock feel, similar to the title track but with a much more mellow chorus. Speaking of mellow, the track that follows is the light and easy-sounding “Coffee,” which originally, was composed to be a theme song for a rejected sitcom. Vocalist Sung Ah provides soothing vocals throughout the song while Tablo and Mithra give two short verses each. The song is good, but it sticks out like a sore thumb for sounding so different. The album closes off with a solo cut from Tablo entitled “Over” and its last instrumental -“숲 (Roots).” The beat for “Over” may consist of a simple piano and drum loop, but the song itself is deep in content. Unlike the other songs before it, “Over” is an English track with a powerful message to overachievers everywhere, reminding them that early success is only the beginning of a greater journey. This alone makes it a highly recommended listen. Last but not least, the eerily calming “숲 (Roots)” closes ‘Epilogue’ to the sound of musical rainfall. In conclusion, ‘Epilogue’ is a good album but not their best work, due to the short length and the inconsistent song transitions throughout. Again, because the album is consisted of unreleased tracks, this is not really their fault. Each song has its own personality, but a few are honestly forgettable. Despite this, the album is still a worthy purchase for fans. For everyone else, it is recommended they check out the older albums to understand the eclectic and always evolving group that is Epik High. Ratings breakdown: 5/5 – Even if you’re not a fan of this artist/group this album is a must buy. 4/5 – If you’re a fan of this artist/group, you must buy this album. 3/5 – If you’re a fan of this artist/group, you might want to add this one to your collection. 2/5 – I don’t think a fan would even buy this. 1/5 – You might as well just flush your money down the toilet.

    Film/Broadcast Content The increasing role of “tentpoles” in the content industry The need for tentpoles in the content industry Overweight (Maintain) The content industry and a tent have one thing in common: both need a tentpole to support the entire structure. In the content industry, tentpoles are defined as hit titles Industry Report that provide a source of steady cash flow, such as the blockbuster films of movie studios July 27, 2015 and the top-rated programs of TV networks. The content industry is vulnerable to the success or failure of a title as well as changes in seasonality. Establishing a tentpole by investing around 70% of the annual budget on Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd. just one or two projects could prove an effective strategy against such risks. If tentpole [Telecom Service / Media] films or shows become a hit, they can compensate for losses made elsewhere. Creating a long-term tentpole lineup, increasing the number of tentpoles, and being able to predict Jee-hyun Moon future revenue can lead to a structural improvement in the business. In other words, +822-768-3615 tentpoles can make the content industry more predictable.

  • The Korean Wave As a Localizing Process: Nation As a Global Actor in Cultural Production
    THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ju Oak Kim May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Patrick Murphy, Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Dal Yong Jin, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University © Copyright 2016 by Ju Oak Kim All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the production system. This research focused on how three agencies – the government, public broadcasting, and the culture industry – have negotiated their relationships in the process of globalization, and how the power dynamics of these three production sectors have been influenced by Korean society’s politics, economy, geography, and culture. The importance of the national media system was identified in the (re)production of the Korean Wave phenomenon by examining how public broadcasting-centered media ecology has control over the development of the popular music culture within Korean society. The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS)’s weekly show, Music Bank, was the subject of analysis regarding changes in the culture of media production in the phase of globalization. In-depth interviews with media professionals and consumers who became involved in the show production were conducted in order to grasp the patterns that Korean television has generated in the global expansion of local cultural practices.

  • Roots and Routes 188
    Fendler / Roots and Routes 188 ROOTS AND ROUTES Hip-Hop from South Korea Ute Fendler University of Bayreuth [email protected] Abstract With the growing success of hip-hop in South Korea, the discussions about the authenticity of this genre increase and create cleavages between the mainstream and the underground rappers. The paper intends to analyze three examples of the contemporary music scene that are representative of different positions. Taking Simon Frith’s work on popular music as a means to construct identity, the paper suggests questioning the concept of authenticity (“roots”) and proposes instead conceiving hip-hop in South Korea as a movement at the crossroads (“routes”) of various influences and practices. Keywords Authenticity, Identity, Music videos, Performance, R&B, Rap About the Author Ute Fendler is chair of romance cultural and comparative cultural studies at the University of Bayreuth (Germany). Her research interests include intermedial and intercultural phenomenon, popular culture, migration, iconographies, music video, and performance. Kritika Kultura 29 (2017): –213 © Ateneo de Manila University <http://journals.ateneo.edu/ojs/kk/> Fendler / Roots and Routes 189 In the ongoing process of reaching out to global markets, pop music in South Korea undergoes fast changes, mainly under the influence of US-American and Western European markets, as literature on K-pop highlights (Choi and Maliangkay). John Lie dealt with the question of K-pop as music positioned between different influences: K-pop is symptomatic of the cultural transformation of South Korea: at once the almost complete repudiation of traditional cultures—both Confucian and folk—and the repeated rhetorical stress on the continuities between the past and the present: the nearly empty signifier that is South Korean cultural-national identity.

  • Quantitative Analysis of Phonological Variation in Korean Hip-Hop English Lyrics
    IDENTITIES AND LYRICS: QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PHONOLOGICAL VARIATION IN KOREAN HIP-HOP ENGLISH LYRICS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Linguistics By Jinsok Lee, B.A. Washington, D.C. April, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Jinsok Lee All Rights Reserved ii IDENTITIES AND LYRICS: QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PHONOLOGICAL VARIATION IN KOREAN HIP-HOP ENGLISH LYRICS Jinsok Lee, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This paper extends the sociolinguistic investigation of Hip-Hop language and its performative usage more generally by examining English in the lyrics of three Korean Hip-Hop groups: Dynamic Duo, Epik High, and Drunken Tiger. This paper examines overall occurrence of English as well as the extent to which their English incorporates features associated with African American Vernacular English (AAVE). Alim (2002) argues that American Hip-Hop artists connect their lyrics to street culture by using features of AAVE such as copula absence however, in this study of Korean Hip-Hop lyrics, instead of focusing on syntactic features, phonological features are to be studied mainly. The use of English in Korean Hip-Hop songs varies from lexical items (e.g. Nwun tteponi yesterday swucwupten kuttay. From the song “paykya” from the album “Remapping the Human Soul” by Epik High 2006) to a sentences (When My body turns cold, you will know, I remapped the human soul. From the song “paykya” from the album “Remapping the Human Soul” by Epik High 2006), and sometimes, but not for all the artists, a whole paragraph.

Personally, I am always amazed of this fact, being able to “travel" with just a click, being able to communicate with someone on the other side of the world, being able to know exactly what is happening, for example, in Australia while being in Spain, and more.
