  • 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.

  • 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.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION I.I Background of the Study By language, people can express their feeling by using words in their own language. People can express their feeling by using language then write it into a beautiful and meaningful word to make a song by its lyric. Lyrics in every song could have implicit or explicit meaning based on the use of words. A language is consisting of all the sounds, words, and infinitely many possible sentences, when you know language you know the sounds, the words, and the rules for their combination (Fromkin, Rodman.et.al: 2003). Language is a system of conventional spoken or written symbols used by people nowadays to communicate with each other.According to American dictionary Language is a system of communication by speaking, writing, or making signs in a way that can be understood, or any of the different systems of communication used in particular regions. According to Cambridge Dictionary language is a system of communication consisting of sounds, words, and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work . People need language to communicate, to interact and to get information from other people (Khadijah, Arifah: 2016). 1 Estimates of the number of languages in the world vary between 6,000 and 7,000. However, it is expected to succeed in an arbitrary change that might occur a mixture of language and dialect. Natural language is conversation or language, but each language can be encoded into media that uses audio, visual, or tactile stimuli, for example, graphic writing, braille, or whistling.

  • Diasporic Korean Audiences of Hallyu in Vancouver, Canada
    Korea Journal, vol. 60, no. 1 (spring 2020): 152–178. doi: 10.25024/kj.2020.60.1.152 © The Academy of Korean Studies, 2020 Diasporic Korean Audiences of Hallyu in Vancouver, Canada Kyong YOON Abstract This study analyzes how diasporic audiences engage with the transnational flows of Korean media and popular culture (Hallyu). Drawing on in-depth interviews with young Korean Canadian audience members in Vancouver, this study examines the diasporic reception of Hallyu. While growing up, the young people in this study were exposed to Korean media and popular culture in their immigrant families. However, they gradually became selective and critical audiences of Hallyu, and negotiated their identities and socialities through consuming this transnational cultural trend. This study offers insights into how a transnational cultural form is incorporated into the lives of its young diasporic audiences who have grown up negotiating different cultures. The study also contributes to articulating a diasporic perspective in the existing studies of Hallyu. Keywords: Hallyu (Korean Wave), Korean diaspora, diasporic audience, youth, Vancouver, Canada, diaspora studies This work was supported by the Academy of Korean Studies (Grant Number AKS-2017-R71). Kyong YOON is an associate professor of Cultural Studies at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. His research interests are digital media, migration, and youth culture. His most recent publication is Digital Mediascapes of Transnational Korean Youth Culture (Routledge, 2020). E-mail: [email protected]. Diasporic Korean Audiences of Hallyu in Vancouver, Canada 153 The recent phenomenon of Hallyu (i.e., transnational flows of Korean media and popular culture) has been analyzed as a vivid example of a globally circulated culture that originates in a non-Western country.

South Korea, among the world’s poorest countries in the 1960s, joined the ranks of First World economies in little over a single generation. China now seems poised to follow a similar trajectory. All three cases highlight the importance of marginalized traditional elites, intensive early investment in education, a degree of economic openness, free markets, equity financing, early-stage coordination of firms in diverse industries via arrangements such as business groups, and political institutions capable of curbing the power of families grown wealthy in early-stage rapid development to make way for prosperity sustained by efficient resource allocation to high-productivity firms.

The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.
