  • O Fenômeno K-Pop – Reflexões Iniciais Sob a Ótica Da Construção Do Ídolo E O Mercado Musical Pop Sul-Coreano1
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 40º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Curitiba - PR – 04 a 09/09/2017 O FENÔMENO K-POP – REFLEXÕES INICIAIS SOB A ÓTICA DA CONSTRUÇÃO DO ÍDOLO E O MERCADO MUSICAL POP SUL-COREANO1 Letícia Ayumi Yamasaki2 Rafael de Jesus Gomes3 Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso (UNEMAT) Resumo: A finalidade deste artigo é discutir de que forma a indústria fonográfica começa a se reinventar a partir da abrangência da internet e da cultura participativa (JENKINS, 2008) e suas estratégias para sobreviver nesse mercado. Dessa forma, pretende-se analisar aqui o fenômeno K-Pop (Korean Popular Music) e suas técnicas para a construção do ídolo, licenciamento de produtos e seu respectivo sucesso no mercado global de música. A partir de uma reflexão inicial, discutiremos aqui como a indústria cultural está absorvendo esses elementos e construindo novos produtos. Como aporte metodológico, reuniu-se a pesquisa bibliográfica a partir dos conceitos sobre produtos culturais, economia afetiva além de pesquisa em sites focados no universo da cultura Pop Sul-Coreana. Palavras-chave: K-Pop, convergência, estratégias, indústria cultural 1. INTRODUÇÃO Um mercado que fatura bilhões de dólares por ano, altamente influenciado pelo uso de tecnologias durante o processo de produção, consumo e sua relação com a lógica do capital (BOLAÑO, 2010); (ARAGÃO, 2008); (BRITTOS, 1999); (DIAS, 2010). Este é o cenário da indústria fonográfica que, nos últimos 20 anos precisa lidar com o faturamento de suas produções e, ao mesmo tempo, precisa também se adaptar aos processos de compartilhamento via aplicativos, streamings e serviços on demand (JENKINS, 2008); (KELLNER, 2004).
