This song and video for “Love and Girls” was released only in Japan (in Japanese), reflecting the relationship between Korean pop and the larger Japanese market. In some ways, they have become a “Japanese” group. Instructors Dr. Jayson Makoto Chun Dr. Patrick Patterson Office Moore 426C (Best way to catch us is in the classroom) Office Hours By appointment (or usually after class) Classroom Webster 101 Email [email protected] [email protected] Course Description and Student Learning Outcomes This course examines changes in modern Japan and South Korea through a historical investigation of popular music. We will examine urban popular music from chart-topping idols, boy bands, and rock groups as well as "traditional" Korean teuroto and Japanese enka music and the lesser-known subcultures of folk and computer music. You the student (well, at least some of you), most likely know more about K-pop or J-pop than the instructors. So this course is not a place for fan discussions – remember, not all of the class will be pop music experts. And there are so many key artists and songs that we are unable to cover all key works in detail. 2 ASAN 491 The Pop Pacific: South Korean and Japanese Popular Music & Society University of Hawai‘i – Mānoa, Summer 2016 Rather, we care going to look at a “Pop Pacific,” a space of transnational cultural construction where “Korean” and “Japanese” popular music, with heavy American influence, has been created through a process of cultural exchange mediated through the physical presence of Japantowns and Koreatowns in the U.S, American bases in East Asia, TV, and the Internet. This hybridized popular music culture largely took root from the mid-1920s with Japanese-American jazz musicians performing in Japan, Japanese composers mixing Korean music and western scales, Japanese enka records making its way to colonial Korea, and Korean domestication of these outside trends. In the postwar period, the presence of music on American military bases and the growing interplay between television and music corporations accelerated and mediated this transnational flow. By the turn of the new millennium, the Internet allowed for near instantaneous access to information and provided easier means for fan interactions, helping to expand the global market. The “Pop Pacific” will reveal the hidden transnational aspects of today’s K-pop (Korean pop) and J-pop (Japanese popular music), and show that much of this Asian popular music was part of a larger global web of world music and so labels of national origin like “Japanese,” “Korean,” or “American” hide the true nature of transnational web of popular music. You will learn the following (Asian studies divisional outcomes are listed in parenthesis): SLO 1: Describe 20th century Japanese and South Korean popular music and its relation to the rest of the world) (A2, A3, A4, A5, A6) ● Describe the beginnings of modern east asian popular music such as “ryūkōka” 流行歌 /yuhaengga 유행가 and Jazz in the early 20th century. ● Describe postwar Japanese and South Korean urban popular music, from “traditional” enka/ to chart-topping idols, to the alternative music. ● Describe globalization: South Korea and Japanese music abroad and the entry of foreign trends into these nations. SLO 2: Examine popular music in the context of cultural studies (A2, A3, A4, A5, A6) ● Examine how the producer and audiences work together to create meaning in popular culture products, how media culture is a source of values for society, and ● Examine how recording technology and distribution influences musical culture ● Examine how it functions to legitimate or challenge the social structure. ● Examine how media culture and issues of gender, national identity, and race. SLO 3: Analyze various genres of popular music and their relationship with South Korean, Japanese and world society (A2, A3, A4, A5, A6) ● Describe their relationship to the historical currents of the time. ● Analyze the lyrics, visual imagery, and music itself as reflections of the continued modernization process in Japan. This course is interdisciplinary, covering a range of subjects including Japanese cultural history and music, East Asian studies, popular music and culture, and music as modern text. Knowledge of Japanese or Korean is not necessary, nor is formal training in music. 3 ASAN 491 The Pop Pacific: South Korean and Japanese Popular Music & Society University of Hawai‘i – Mānoa, Summer 2016 About the Instructors Dr. Jayson Makoto Chun is an associate professor at the University of Hawai‘i – West O‘ahu, specializing in Japanese media history and culture.

When I first visited South Korea in 1994 and brought back K-pop tapes, people laughed at me for bringing back such hick music. Not anymore How did K-pop become so popular, so quickly? What does this tell about South Korean culture today? Hong’s exploration of her own childhood will explain why. Readings and handouts via laulima.hawaii.edu. Some handouts will be distributed in class. The genius of Japanese megagroup AKB48 is that there are over 100 members, who can be split off into subunits or featured separately in TV shows.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • 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. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • Domestic Hallyu: K-Pop Metatexts and the Media's Self-Reflexive Gesture
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2308–2331 1932–8036/20170005 Domestic Hallyu: K-Pop Metatexts and the Media’s Self-Reflexive Gesture MICHELLE CHO1 McGill University, Canada Television serves as a crucial medium for shaping the South Korean public’s response to the success of hallyu, or the Korean Wave, in news reports, variety shows, and celebrity interview programs. Further, in the last decade, several K-pop idols have been cast in serial narrative television shows that fictionalize hallyu creative industries. These metatextual shows domesticate transnational idol pop celebrities by contributing layers of televisual intimacy to their star personae and by seeming to expose the inner workings of the entertainment industries. This essay focuses on two notable examples, Dream High (2011, KBS2) and Answer Me 1997 (2012, tvN), to consider what this proliferation of popular narratives about media production and reception on South Korean television signifies. I argue that the intertextual presentation of K-pop on Korean television negotiates a complex relationship between popular culture and public culture in South Korea. The metatextual relay revealed in these shows—what I characterize as the media’s self-reflexive critical gesture—provides access to the ideological impasses of the attempt to produce intimate national publics through globalized contents. Keywords: metatextuality, television, K-drama, K-pop, hallyu, Korean Wave If the ideological function of mass culture is understood as a process whereby otherwise dangerous and protopolitical impulses are “managed” and defused, rechanneled and offered spurious objects, then some preliminary step must also be theorized in which these same impulses—the raw material upon which the process works—are initially awakened within the very text that seeks to still them.

  • Diversity of K-Pop: a Focus on Race, Language, and Musical Genre
    DIVERSITY OF K-POP: A FOCUS ON RACE, LANGUAGE, AND MUSICAL GENRE Wonseok Lee A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2018 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2018 Wonseok Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Since the end of the 1990s, Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu, has spread to the world. As the most significant part of Hallyu, Korean popular music, K-pop, captivates global audiences. From a typical K-pop artist, Psy, to a recent sensation of global popular music, BTS, K-pop enthusiasts all around the world prove that K-pop is an ongoing global cultural flow. Despite the fact that the term K-pop explicitly indicates a certain ethnicity and language, as K- pop expanded and became influential to the world, it developed distinct features that did not exist in it before. This thesis examines these distinct features of K-pop focusing on race, language, and musical genre: it reveals how K-pop groups today consist of non-Korean musicians, what makes K-pop groups consisting of all Korean musicians sing in non-Korean languages, what kind of diverse musical genres exists in the K-pop field with two case studies, and what these features mean in terms of the discourse of K-pop today. By looking at the diversity of K-pop, I emphasize that K-pop is not merely a dance- oriented musical genre sung by Koreans in the Korean language.

Despite the significant increase in gendered concerns, there has been a lack of discussion on gender inequality problems in the Korean popular music industry. For this reason, this thesis aims to investigate gender inequalities and power relations embedded in the male-dominated Korean popular music industry by analyzing the texts, images and music of Korean girl groups through the lens of a feminist political economy. In doing so, this study utilizes textual analysis in order to examine how gendered hierarchy and patriarchal power, acting as industrial practices, exploit Korean girl groups in the Korean popular music industry.
