Sportswoman of the Year Listen – The world of widex 3 ediToriAl deAr reAderS Welcome to the second issue of Listen. The aim of this magazine is to offer our many dispensers, partners and customers world- wide an insight into Widex, as well as providing an informative look into our expertise about - as the title suggests - hearing. The global financial crisis has been on everybody’s lips during the past year – the crisis has created turbulence in society generally and naturally this has also affected the hearing aid industry. As a family-owned company, Widex enjoys the privilege of being less sensitive than other companies to the fluctuations of the share market and economic downturns. This gives a stability that benefits our employees, customers and partners and means that we are in a position to continue pursuing the strategy that we always have: organic growth through long-term investing in research and development. This strategy means that yet again we can deliver new products that emphasise Widex’ innovative abilities. In this issue, for exam- ple, you can read about our own revolutionary wireless technology and our new hearing aid designed specifically for babies. The ability of Widex to think and invest in the long-term is also reflected in another historic step for the company, namely the con- struction of our new headquarters in Alleroed, north of Copenhagen. Our new building is not just modern, stylish and functional, but is also designed with the environment in mind and takes Widex into the future in style. We hope that you enjoy this glimpse into the world of Widex – and good reading!

A unique partnership between Widex and Portuguese designer Andreia Lobato aims at changing people’s perception of hearing aids. Listen – The world of widex 9 10 Listen – The world of widex TreNdS Can hearing aids be a fashion statement? According to Andreia Lobato yes. For her Spring and Summer collection 2010, the young and upcoming fashion designer teamed up with Widex to deliver a spectacular show using Widex hearing aids as fashion accessories. The show took place in October 2009 in the custom building of the city of Porto in Portugal. High-stepping, long-legged models strolled down the catwalk displaying hearing aids from the Widex Passion440 series. The aim of the initiative was to break down prejudices about hearing loss and hearing aids. Andreia Lobato explains this “al- liance aims to put an end to existing stereotypes about hear- ing loss, and to show that hearing aids, like glasses, can and should be seen more and more as fashion accessories”. Passion440 is one of the world’s smallest receiver-in-canal hearing aids, and has an elegant design that matched the glamorous dresses created by Lobato perfectly. This is one of the reasons why the designer chose Widex: “I accepted to par- ticipate in this initiative after I got to know the stylish design of Widex hearing aids, which are very discreet and available in Rita Pereira (above), a popular Portuguese actress, also par- multiple colours. This allowed me to combine the colour of the ticipated in the show. She wore a limited edition of Passion440 hearing aid with the colour of each dress”. decorated with Swarovski crystals. The actress stressed that “it is a pleasure to help breaking stereotypes and inform people in a good way about the problem of hearing loss, which affects ten percent of the population”. The event, attended by 400 participants, received substantial media coverage, including being featured on the TV program Praça da Alegria, shown every morning on one of the main Portuguese public channels. The Passion440 worn by the models received the Red Dot Design Award 2009 – one of the most prestigious design awards in the world. The award celebrated Passion for an intelligent combina- tion of modern technology and ergonomic design. www.widex.com/products/passion440 Andreia Lobato and Rita Pereira Read more www.andreia-lobato.com Listen – The world of widex 11 TechNology A wireLess world The latest Widex products are the first to feature unique and revolutionary wireless technology.

  • Manufacturing Creativity: Production, Performance, and Dissemination of K-Pop*
    Korea Journal, vol. 53, no. 4 (winter 2013): 14-33. 14 © Korean NationalKOREA Commission JOURNAL for / UNESCO, WINTER 2013 Manufacturing Creativity: Production, Performance, and Dissemination of K-pop* Gil-Sung PARK Abstract The rise of K-pop (Korean pop) as a new global music genre has wrought theoretical turmoil within the field of cultural studies. This article argues that the global ascen- dance of K-pop can primarily be attributed to the passionate support of inter-Asian audiences. However, the actual production, performance, and dissemination of K-pop contents have little to do with the Asian pop-culture system. Although the manufacture of K-pop music and its performers depends on Korean talent and man- agement, K-pop producers tend to rely heavily on the global music industries of North America and Europe for their creative content. The global dissemination of K-pop would not have been possible without global social network service (SNS) sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter—none of which are owned or operated by Asians. This article argues that the manufacturing of creativity in non-Western music, as illustrated by the case of Hallyu, involves three stages: globalization of cre- ativity, localization of musical contents and performers, and global dissemination of the musical contents through social media. Keywords: K-pop (Korean pop), Hallyu, creativity, music industry, globalization, localization, social network service (SNS) sites * This research was supported by a Korea University Grant. The author gives special thanks to Kang Sou-Hwan, Park Jung-Ha, Oh Hayeon, Ye Weibo, and Song Choo Eui for their assistance with data collection and management.

Since the late 1980s, Korean pop music has aspired to be a more advanced industry and establish an international presence, based on the economic leap and democratization as a springboard. Contemporary K-pop, originating from the underground dance scene in the 1980s, succeeded in transforming Korean pop music into a modern and youth-oriented genre with a new style dubbed "rap/dance music." The rise of dance music changed the landscape of Korean popular music and became the cornerstone of the K-pop idol music. In the era of globalization, K-pop’s unique aesthetics and strategy, later termed “Cultural Technology,” achieved substantial returns in the international market. Throughout this evolution, Korean Americans were vital players who brought K-pop closer to its mission of modern and international pop music. In the age of globalization, K-pop's modernity and identity are evolving in a new way.
