Female Idols in East Asia from the Perspective of Feminism
2019 International Conference on Art, Design and Cultural Studies (ADCS 2019) Female Idols in East Asia from the Perspective of Feminism Chuqi Huang School of International Studies, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou510275, China [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, people have gradually begun to pay attention to the development of idol industry. Idols, as the objects chased after by teenagers, need to shoulder the responsibility of public figures and play a guiding role for fans. Based on the prosperous female idol industry in East Asia, this thesis expounds the images of female idols in China, Japan and South Korea, and analyzes their historical background, the degree of the rise of female consciousness and their limitations. It is believed that with continuous development and improvement of the industry as well as the growing female movement in the world, the leading role of female idols for ordinary women will be more and more obvious. Keywords: feminism, East Asian female idols, female consciousness. 1. Feminism and Female Idols 1.1 Girl Groups Manufacturing in Three East Asian Countries Girl group generally refers to a group of multiple-person females selected, trained and organized by a brokerage enterprise in the entertainment industry. Brokerage companies will give team members a position in the team according to their own characteristics or specialties, and this position will largely determine their “character setting” after the debut, that is, the image displayed in front of fans. Therefore, the girl groups of various styles or members of different positioning in the same group are often with different target fan bases. -
