For over ten years, the US-Korea Conference, co-organized by KSEA, KOFST and KUSCO, has successfully served to promote scientific and technological collaborations among scientists, engineers, and educators from the US and Korea. Following tradition, the UKC2006 Organizing Committee has produced a comprehensive and engaging conference. We are very proud to present a high-quality technical program, covering a wide spectrum of science and technology topics, with more than 400 speakers from the US and Korea. Your strong support and active participation have made the UKC2006 a record-breaking event. Not only has the total number of papers to be presented nearly doubled, but the total numbers of symposiums/forums organized, committee members involved, attendees, and sponsor donations have far exceeded all expectations. In addition, an impressive roster of distinguished speakers has been assembled for the Opening Ceremony and Plenary sessions. For the first time, the UKC2006 conference management system was transformed into a seamless on-line process for abstract and paper submission, conference registration, hotel reservation, and other services. We have also witnessed the US-Korea Conference evolving into an international forum by recognizing many participants from the US, Korea, and other parts of the World. Generous sponsorships from many industrial companies and research organizations from the US and Korea have also signified that the US-Korea Conference is an important venue to discuss

  • Does K-Pop Reinforce Gender Inequalities? Empirical Evidence from a New Data Set
    Asian Women December 2017, Vol. 33, No. 4, pp. 27-54 Does K-pop Reinforce Gender Inequalities? Empirical Evidence from a New Data Set Xi Lin Korea University, Korea Robert Rudolf Korea University, Korea Abstract As K-pop has become a cultural ambassador for Korea, attracting millions of fans across the globe, the sexist portrayal of both female and male idols in K-pop products stands in conflict with the gender-mainstreaming policies to which the country has committed itself. Using a unique and newly collected data set of 6,317 K-pop fans from 100 countries around the world, this study examines the relationship between individual K-pop consumption and gender attitudes of K-pop fans. Findings suggest that a higher level of spending on K-pop related items and activities is related to less egalitarian gender attitudes. Interestingly, this correlation is stronger for fans from already less gender-equal nations. Results indicate that the industry that is actively promoted by the Korean government includes elements that might reinforce a sexist culture and traditional gender roles both within Korea and around the globe, further obstructing women’s pursuit of equal opportunities. Key words K-pop, sexism, sexual objectification, gender stereotypes, gender attitudes Introduction Since the late-2000s, the Korean pop music industry (K-pop), as part of the larger Korean Wave (Hallyu) phenomenon, has experienced un- precedented international success. With K-pop fans as the mainstay of the increasing Hallyu fan base, which just reached 59.4 million in 2016 (The Korea Foundation, 2017), the rise of K-pop has not only brought in hun- dreds of millions of dollars in music export revenue for Korea (KOCCA, 2016; Yonhap, 2016) but has also contributed to the boom of Korea’s cos- metic, fashion, tourism as well as plastic surgery industries.

  • Transnational Migration and Work in Asia
    Transnational Migration and Work in Asia Migration, especially for work, is a major issue for the twenty-first century. International organizations estimate that there are some 100 million migrant workers, immigrants and members of immigrant families worldwide, with at least seven million of these residing in South and East Asia. Focusing on the issues associated with migrating for work both in and from the Asian region, Transnational Migration and Work in Asia sheds new light on the debate over migration – increasing our understanding and awareness of this important issue. The first of its kind to look at the non-professionals who make up the vast majority of migrant workers in the Asian region, this book provides a broad perspective with case studies on migrants in and from Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Nepal, Laos, Burma, Japan, China and the Philippines. These in-depth studies strive to examine the motivations and rationalities of migrant workers as they navigate their way from local communities to their position in the global network. Equally those intermediaries who seek to profit from the transnational flow of migrant workers such as recruitment agents, labour brokers, money lenders, traffickers and remittance agencies are analysed as labour becomes increasingly commodified and traded internationally. With contributions from an international team of well-known scholars, the book sets labour migration firmly within the context of globalization, providing a focused, contemporary discussion of what is undoubtedly a significant issue in today’s world. Kevin Hewison is Director of the Carolina Asia Center and Professor in the Department of Asian Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

  • The Cultural Production and Consumption of the Fit Body in South Korea: Focus on Established – Outsider Figuration of the Body in the Fitness Field
    THE CULTURAL PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF THE FIT BODY IN SOUTH KOREA: FOCUS ON ESTABLISHED – OUTSIDER FIGURATION OF THE BODY IN THE FITNESS FIELD Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Hye Won Choo Department of Media and Communication University of Leicester 2015 The Cultural Production and Consumption of the Fit Body in South Korea: Focus on Established - Outsider Figuration of the Body in the Fitness Field ABSTRACT This thesis examines the ways in which the fit body has acted as an established form of capital in Korea. In addressing this question, this research explores the theoretical and methodological links between Bourdieu‘s and Elias‘s perspectives. In particular, using the fitness field as the context, this study examines specific types of valued capital and assesses the ways in which figurations between actors are produced and reproduced in ways that reinforce and sometimes disrupt ‗established-outsider‘ (E- O) figurations in other fields (such as the academic field). In working toward its findings, this work makes use of multiple methods, including historical media analysis, media production study, interviews, and comparison of Gangnam and Gangbuk, to name but a few. This diverse array of approaches allows for a more robust and nuanced look at the E-O figuration of the body (Elias & Scotson, 1994) that grounded the production and reproduction of body capital and habitus in the fitness field. The findings also reveal that fit bodies are pivotal to the formation of symbolic power in Korean socio-historical contexts. E-O figuration of fitness media production teams influences media texts.

  • The Senses As Strategy in the South Korean Family Bonnie R. Tilland A
    Hateful and Heartwarming Bonds: The Senses as Strategy in the South Korean Family Bonnie R. Tilland A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Ann Anagnost, Chair Clark Sorensen Sasha Welland Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2015 Bonnie R. Tilland University of Washington Abstract Hateful and Heartwarming Bonds: The Senses as Strategy in the South Korean Family Bonnie R. Tilland Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology This dissertation investigates women’s strategizing around the senses in South Korea, tracing the ways that women move between sensory experience as an ideal and as an object to put into motion. I argue that the language of the sensory is invoked to stand up to state or societal pressures regarding family-making, child-rearing, and maternal subjectivity. The senses, affect, and emotions are employed to carve out space for individual and family well-being within neoliberal logics of productivity, but these new areas of sensory possibility are too often colonized by the same neoliberal logics. Utilizing multi-sited ethnography, media analysis, and an interdisciplinary feminist perspective, I followed the language of sensory development and sensory experience in practice through participant-observation at community spaces, and through ethnographic interviews. The main issues of this dissertation include: first, the ways that the extended family in South Korea is structured through visual culture and watching/being seen, resulting in ambivalence, particularly in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. Second, how touch and other senses are conceived of as avenues for emotional and psychological fortification for young children, and how this cultivation of sensory education is extended not just to the mother-child bond, but also to national healing.

  • Juvenile Protection and Sexual Objectification: Analysis of the Performance Frame in Korean Music Television Broadcasts1
    ACTA KOR ANA VOL. 16, NO. 2, DECEMBER 2013: 329–365 JUVENILE PROTECTION AND SEXUAL OBJECTIFICATION: ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE FRAME IN KOREAN 1 MUSIC TELEVISION BROADCASTS By CEDARBOUGH T. SAEJI2 The wide-spread sexual objectification of women in Korean popular music performance subconsciously teaches men and boys that women and girls are sexual objects that exist to please them. Simultaneously sexual objectification disempowers girls and women by emphasizing superficial beauty. Although many decisions related to K- pop choreography, costumes, or lyrics may be attributed to music management companies, this article analyzes how music television programs Inkigayo (Seoul Broadcasting System) and Music Core (Munhwa Broadcasting Company) contribute to the sexual objectification of women through the ways that emcees frame performances and the ways the camera draws attention to sexualized body parts. In August 2012 racy performances by the girl group Kara raised public debate and spurred calls for amendments to the Juvenile Protection Law. At that time commentary focused on the impact of sexually provocative performances on young people. The law places responsibility for monitoring content onto the content producers and broadcasters, yet frame analysis of Kara’s performances, compared with performances in early 2013, demonstrated that neither Inkigayo nor Music Core had changed the sexually objectifying performance frame on their shows. The final version of the revised law, 1 This research was supported by Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund of 2013. 2 Author’s Note: Thank you to the editor and enormously helpful anonymous reviewers at Acta Koreana as well as friends and colleagues with whom I discussed aspects of this paper: my gratitude to Logan Clark, Timothy Gitzen, Meredith Perry, Jungwon Kim, Jisoo Hyun, Thea Suh, Go Gwanyeong, and the audience for my presentation at the 2013 International Association for the Study of Popular Music conference.

  • 1 the Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction
    The Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction: Reclaiming “Real Person” Fanfiction as K-Pop Industry Practice Sooyun (Clara) Hong East Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts McGill University, Montreal June 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts ©Sooyun Hong, 2020 1 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Abrégé 4 Acknowledgements 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1 – What’s in a (Stage) Name? Public Personas, Private Selves, and the Transgression of Authenticity 33 Chapter 2 – “Characterizing” K-Pop Idols: Alternate Universe Fanfiction and the K-Pop Concept 56 Chapter 3 – Believing in the Unusual: Slash Fanfiction and Homoerotic Fan Service 75 Conclusion 94 Works Cited 99 2 Abstract RPF, or “real person fiction,” is a genre of fanfiction that writes about real people rather than fictional characters. Over the past decade, the number of RPF works written about K-pop idols has steadily increased, but RPF remains a controversial practice even within fanfiction communities. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the influence of fictional media practices such as fanfiction in the construction of the celebrity text. This thesis compares three practices found in K-pop RPF to three practices found in the K-pop industry in order to argue that K-pop fanfiction writers and the K-pop industry perform similar practices in pursuit of broader fan desires. Ultimately, the K-pop idol embodies a new model of celebrity that consciously moves between the “public” and the “private” in order to generate affective value. This movement is grounded in images of the idol’s physical body and given meaning through the idol group’s network of interpersonal relationships.

  • Entertaining Politics: Exploring Historical Transformation of Production, Distribution, and Consumption of Political Entertainment in Korea

Bettig Associate Professor of Media Studies Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Patrick R. Parsons Don Davis Professor of Ethics, Telecommunications Michelle Rodino-Colocino Associate Professor of Media Studies Marylee Taylor, Associate Professor of Sociology Department of Sociology Ford Risley Professor of Journalism Interim Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Graduate Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Observing the paucity of research on political entertainment in Korea, this study has explored the historical transformation in Korean political entertainment through the lens of changing social and economic conditions, as well as shifts in power relations, over the past several decades. The study has taken two broad and interrelated research questions as its starting points: “How are political, economic, and social forms of power associated with the production, distribution, and consumption of political entertainment?” and “How has the production and dissemination of such programs changed over the past half-century and in what specific contexts?” This approach has allowed particular attention to the role of political institutions in regulating media industries; the origin of Korean political entertainment and its distinctive features; the factors and conditions influencing the transformation in formats and genres of political entertainment; and the effects of technological shifts on political entertainment.

Hallyu refers to the international success of Korean popular cultural products such as film, music, television, radio, fashion, and computer games.1 In recent years, K-pop has seen a tremendous rise in global popularity as more and more K-pop artists attempt to leave their mark on the Western music scene. However, the reasons for this success continue to elude scholars. Some, such as Solee Shin, believe that the answer lies in the way K-pop companies conduct their business and marketing strategies to appeal to fandoms.
