INTRODUCTION South Korea is one of the countries that succeed in utilizing its entertainment industry as a tool for soft power diplomacy by its infamous cultural phenomenon of Hallyu or also known as the Korean Wave. The term Hallyu was coined in the 1990s after the liberalization of South Korean media. The phenomenon of Hallyu is used to describe the sentiment shared among Asian countries that enjoy the Korean pop culture. Hallyu has started in the last two decades ago, however the turning point of K-Pop itself started in the 2000’s. According to International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook Database, South Korea has become the 12th largest economy in the world and it is accredited towards its ability to utilize soft power as a foreign policy tool (Romano, 2018). During the post-Cold War, South Korea began to reform its democratic government which was followed by the lightening in its control over the television censorship in 1987. Prior to that, the television show and music are strictly traditional and patriotic; no pop, American-influenced music allowed until a pop-rock band called Seo Taiji and Boys emerged on television. To this day, there are three powerhouse music agency that produce K-Pop groups which consist of SM Entertainment, JYP and YG Entertainment which consistently and exponentially led the birth of Hallyu and sustained its growth and popularity in and abroad. SOCIOLOGÍA Y TECNOCIENCIA, 11.2 (2021): 1-22 ISSN: 1989-8487 South Korea in Reconstructing Masculinity as Brand Image of the State’s Economic Diplomacy #" The growth of Hallyu also helped South Korea to boost the potential of market expansion of the Korean brands. Following the footstep of Japan, South Korea has made an incredible progress in establishing a high technology, industrialized nation with the popularization of Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Kia. Thus, South Korea is ranked among the world leaders in the production of consumer electronics, smartphones and LCD television with annual exports worth 483 billion US Dollars with 15 South Korean companies are found in the list of Fortune Global 500 (Schoettli, 2019). The South Korean entertainment industry continues to thrive, following its agenda to conquer the market in the United States after their success in maintaining their foot in the Asia continent. In the recent years, there is a significant increase on the encouragement of soft masculinity among the global society to oppose the hyper-masculinity that is projected in the status quo. One of the main actors that helped the popularization of this phenomena is male artist of Korean pop music industry. Male Korean artist is infamous for their image as kkotminam (flower boys), which is portrayed to softer imagery in contrast to the hegemonic imagery of masculinity that believe male have certain expected gender roles to achieve social acceptance. During the old era, actors in international relation is assumed as genderless due to the idea that every individual is allowed to participate in the diplomacy and negotiation process. Compared to other disciplines, International Relations is one of the last fields that started to open up with the feminist perspectives (Wibben, 2004). However, through the emergence of the feminism and gender theory along with its development in the modern era, it becomes clear that international relation is actually “gendered”. Traditional scholars of International Relations rarely use gendered term and it creates the assumption that the actors are genderless, although it is generally known as a male-dominated field. Based on the explained research background, thus the author would like to explore the answer of “Why does South Korea promote soft masculinity in its K-Pop product?”. The structure of the paper proceeds as follows. Section 2 discusses the Literature Review, showing the characteristics of Masculinity as the New Norm, Soft Masculinity as Brand Image in the Economic Diplomacy of South Korea. The description of the Material and Methods is given in Section 3. The results are discussed in Section 4. Finally, conclusions are presented in Section 5 SOCIOLOGÍA Y TECNOCIENCIA, 11.2 (2021): 1-22 I SSN: 1989-8487 $" Nur Azizah, Ainun Dwiyanti 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Masculinity as the New Norm Sun Jung has introduced that the concept of soft masculinity popularized by the Korean Wave is product of “transcultural amalgamation” which she refers as chogukjeok. Jung argued that the reconstruction of South Korean masculinity is reinforced in order to attract global audiences by following process of modernization and capitalism that lead South Korea to its success in the various global markets. The term of kkotminam (literal meaning: flower boys) is stated to replace the pre-existing image of tough and macho South Korean men. One of the significant actors in introducing kkotminam is Bae Yong Joon, which starred in a Korean drama called Winter Sonata that happens to be the start of Korean Wave phenomena in neighbouring East Asia countries along with Southeast Asia countries (Jung, 2011). This imagery of kkotminam is later further popularized and developed into television series and Korean boy groups. Male Korean pop figures surfaced in the scene of entertainment industry and trademarked to dress well, have a delicate features and beautiful skin, wearing makeup and even to the extent of undergoing beauty surgery (Lovley, 2018). In the same year, Jo Elfving-Hwang published “Not So Soft After All: Kkonminam Masculinities in Contemporary South Korean Popular Culture” that argued the representation of soft masculinity in the Korean popular culture is a process of renegotiation towards the existing hegemonic construction of masculinity in the social structure and that it is beyond the cosmetic shift.

Cañete Department of Information Communication, Yuan Ze University Abstract: As mirrors of culture, advertisements are believed to reflect values relevant to consumers. This research aims to examine whether the cultural values are reflected in online skincare advertisements between countries with different cultural influences and then further investigate what values consumers maintain and shift. Content analyses of online skincare advertisements and in-depth interviews with consumers in the Philippines and Taiwan were conducted in this study. The research focused in particular on how slogan values, brand prominence, and product prominence and context of online skincare advertisements can be manipulated in a strategic way to pass on implicit messages to the receiver. The results highlight that the notion of beauty in online skincare advertisements and the minds of consumers is socially and culturally constructed and its meanings are maintained and changed by social forces and globalized communication of advertising media.

  • Hallyu at a Crossroads: the Clash of Korea's Soft Power Success and China's Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High
    Asian International Studies Review Vol. 18 No.1 (June 2017): 153-169 153 Received March 15, 2017 Revised May 10, 2017 Accepted May 20, 2017 Hallyu at a Crossroads: The Clash of Korea’s Soft Power Success and China’s Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System Deployment HANNAH JUN* The past two decades have witnessed the remarkable success of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, with Korea welcoming a large influx of foreign visitors and benefiting from massive consumption of products ranging from Korean television and film, K-pop and lifestyle products. A more recent announcement by CJ E&M points to an even more aggressive plan for regional ubiquity, as encapsulated by Hallyu 4.0. Simultaneously, we have already felt some of the effect of policy changes in China – a core Hallyu market – as a response to Korea’s plan to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. In this sense, we see the stirrings of a clash between Korean soft power and Chinese hard power, and are uncertain who will emerge on top. This paper examines the broad success of Hallyu from key theoretical perspectives, while addressing linkages between Korean corporations and cultural power/influence that have led to an announcement such as Hallyu 4.0. This paper also highlights the recent tensions between Korea and China, specifically with respect to THAAD deployment, and outlines potential implications for businesses and policymakers through preliminary scenarios.

    Lee / Synergistic Co-operations in the Cosmetic Industry 237 SYNERGISTIC CO-OPERATIONS IN THE COSMETIC INDUSTRY Learning and Convergence between Firms and Social Media Yeon W. Lee Seoul Business School Seoul School of Integrated Science and Technology [email protected] Abstract Hallyu’s creative content, in the form of dramas, music, and movies, has not only expanded and popularized Korean beauty (or K-beauty) products, but has also helped sell Korean fashion and aesthetics throughout the world. This study examines the various success factors behind K-beauty’s competitiveness—particularly by emphasizing the interactive roles of creative content, cosmetic firms, and make-up artists working through their vlogs based on social media and the resultant convergence effects—which has propelled the rapid growth of the K-beauty industry. On top of the cosmetic firms that utilize diverse and effective strategies to penetrate the global market, professional and semi-professional make-up artists have helped spread K-beauty beyond product sales. They offer make-up lessons on social media, which has become enormously successful in spreading Korean-style cosmetics. In this paper, the co- operation between popular beauty vloggers and firms is explained through the new role of social media. This study explains how the convergence of firms and vloggers has connected and established a business ecosystem that generates synergy through the four co-operations of co-existence, co-learning, co-creation, and co-evolution. Keywords convergence; co-operation; Hallyu; K-beauty; learning; social media; synergy creation About the Author Yeon W.
