The 18-part eight-minute series, created and produced by Pops, was sponsored by Unilever/Lifebuoy. The series is set in 2108, a golden age threatened by the arrival of two aliens: the Germ, a malicious fugitive, and its pursuer, an Artificial Intelligence called Dr Lifebuoy, who will cross the path of three Vietnam- ese schoolchildren – Long, An and Thanh – and bestow upon them powers to help her prevent the Germ from mutating. Local paper, Tech Times Vietnam, points out that children are an underserved seg- ment in Vietnam, and that Silver Ion Squad lands squarely into a large gap.

  • 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.

  • Upin & Ipin: Promoting Malaysian Culture Values Through Animation
    Upin & Ipin: Promoting malaysian culture values through animation Dahlan Bin Abdul Ghani Universiti Kuala Lumpur [email protected] Recibido: 20 de enero de 2015 Aceptado: 12 de febrero de 2015 Abstract Malaysian children lately have been exposed or influenced heavily by digital media entertainment. The rise of such entertainment tends to drive them away from understanding and appreciating the values of Malaysian culture. Upin and Ipin animation has successfully promoted Malaysian folklore culture and has significantly portrayed the art of Malaysian values including Islamic values by providing the platform for harmonious relationship among different societies or groups or religious backgrounds. The focus of this research is to look into the usage of Malaysian culture iconic visual styles such as backgrounds, lifestyles, character archetypes and narrative (storytelling). Therefore, we hope that this research will benefit the younger generation by highlighting the meaning and importance of implicit Malaysian culture. Key words: Upin and Ipin; animation; narrative; folklore; culture; character archetypes. Upin e Ipin: promoviendo la cultura malasia a través de los valores de la animación Resumen Recientemente los niños en Malasia están siendo fuertemente expuestos cuando no influenciados por los medios masivos de entretenimiento digital. Esto les lleva una falta de comprensión y apreciación de la importancia de los valores de su propia cultura. La serie de animación propia Upin & Ipin ha promovido con éxito las diferentes culturas de Malasia y obtenido valores culturales significativos que representan a su arte, incluyendo el islámico, y proporcionando así una plataforma de relación armónica entre los diferentes grupos que componen la sociedad en Malasia, ya sea civil o religiosa.

  • Understanding Korean Society Through Popular Music
    Situations Vol. 5 (Winter 2011) © 2011 by Yonsei University Hannah N. Bergen (Yonsei University, Seoul) Understanding Korean Society through Popular Music Today one of the most unique aspects of inter-Asian cultural sharing is the hallyu wave. This social phenomenon began in Seoul, South Korea and today accounts for the all pervasive nature of Korean popular entertainment dominating the airwaves of nearly every Asian country. From Japan to Thailand, “K-pop” has conquered the Asian market, and is now turning its attention to the rest of the world. In order to illustrate this current social phenomenon, I have found many sources that all point to the same aspects in K-pop which have allowed one small country to make their entertainment business one of its most lucrative exports. The hallyu wave as a whole has become a blending of uniquely Korean culture with aspects of Western and other Asian cultures which has created a style unique to this particular moment of history. In the words of Sun Jung, author of the article “Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption: Yonsama, Rain, Oldboy, K-Pop Idols,” “Transcultural hybridity is one of the most significant aspects of contemporary South Korean popular culture in the postmodern era and is the main driving force behind its overseas popularity” (Jung 166). This combination has allowed the music and film from Korea to be extremely accessible to a wide audience of various nationalities and languages. In order to clearly illustrate the international success of hallyu, I will focus on one specific aspect of current Korean popular culture: music.
