I‘d like to thank the Ateneo Initiative for Korean Studies, the Department of Communication, the Department of Modern Languages, and the World Association for Hallyu Studies, for organizing this conference and bringing the discussion on Hallyu to the Ateneo. Like most of you I‘ve observed the different trends in foreign telenovelas, beginning with the Mexican show Marimar in the mid-90s, to the Taiwanese series Meteor Garden in the early 2000s, and on to the long-lasting Korean wave which began in the early to mid-2000s as well. I‘m not sure which were the first Korean dramas to be shown but I do remember ―Jewel in the Palace‖ for all the endless cooking scenes and interesting Korean dishes featured there. To this day the Koreanovelas rule the airwaves, which shows their lasting popularity with Filipinos. I‘ve also observed the Korean influence not only in TV shows but in music, fashion, personal grooming, and food as well. I do agree that the phenomenon of Hallyu in the Philippines is a subject that must be studied in a scholarly way, just as popular culture in any country is always a subject of academic discourse. If the numbers of people watching Koreanovelas, viewing K-Pop videos and concerts, eating at Korean restaurants and buying Korean skincare and cosmetics can be used as a factor in deciding which topics should be written about, then there would no question at all! vi Here at the Ateneo we‘ve been building up to this, and we now have the AIKS, or the Ateneo Initiative for Korean Studies. We hope that interest in Korean Studies grows, not only here in our university, but within the larger academic community as well. I hope that you will find today‘s discussions interesting and enlightening, and that they will inspire you to continue studying this very dynamic, and very colorful area. Have a good day, everyone. vii MESSAGE H.E. Hyuk Lee Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea to the Republic of the Philippines Dr. John Paul Vergara, Vice President for Loyola Schools; Dr. Oh Ingyu, Director for General Affairs of the World Association for Hallyu Studies; Esteemed panelists; Officials and faculty members of the Ateneo; Dear students; Ladies and gentlemen: Good morning. I am delighted to be here today and be a part of this conference that will pave the way for a more comprehensive course on Korean Studies. It is a distinct honor to belong to this esteemed institution that has been providing quality education and producing leaders for over 150 years. The fact that experts have converged here is a testament to the growing interest in Hallyu, a subject that is close to my heart. I have often articulated my observation that the Korean Wave is washing into the shores of many countries. However, it has actually reached the Philippines way ahead of the others, which is not surprising considering how bilateral relations between our countries began. viii In large part, the strong bonds that tie our two nations is due to a shared history, which, as most of you know, started with the Korean War and the way the Philippines supported our cause. The bravery and selflessness of what came to be known as the “Fighting Filipinos” contributed to the recovery of the Republic of Korea and its emergence as one of the more successful economies in Asia today. I would venture to say that Hallyu has opened up Korea and allowed the rest of the world to peer into its cultural heart. I am happy to see that the Philippines, in particular, has been very receptive to our brand of art, film, music, fashion, and cuisine. It is interesting, the way Filipinos have embraced our Koreanovelas and K-Pop, so I went to see the Korean all-female band 2NE1 when they performed here last month. It may be self- serving to say, but I think they are really fine entertainers, especially Sandara Park – who now calls herself simply as Dara. It is a tribute to the Philippines that she found and honed her talents right here where she started her career. This conference offers the perfect venue to discover what other factors may be playing a part in the growing interest in Korean culture. With discovery comes a deeper understanding of people’s perceptions. I see only good things coming out of this event. In closing, I would like to thank and congratulate the Ateneo de Manila University, particularly the Ateneo Initiative for Korean Studies, for hosting this conference. I hope those who are in attendance will greatly benefit from today’s discussions. Gamsahamnida! ix MESSAGE Jaime Manuel Flores Department of Communication Ateneo de Manila University Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I hope everybody had a very fruitful and insightful conference. When Sarah [Domingo Lipura] first approached us about collaborating with them for this conference, I could honestly say that I was very enthused with the idea. After all, it made perfect sense to involve our Department in this conference. Whenever we teach classes in media studies or media theory, or even during informal discussions over lunch, it would seem almost inevitable that it would include discussions on Korean television or film, music, or food. When we talk about issues of globalization, flows of content, and creative expressions of cultural discourse, Korea would always offer a fine example, something that many of our students could definitely relate to. However, when it got to the point where we were asked if some of our faculty were interested in presenting anything, I realized that this was an area that none of us had done any significant work on. I assure you this was not something deliberately ignored from our end—perhaps, this may be attributed to the fact that our awareness on the impact of Korean media was not as extensive as we would hope it to be. This is why I am glad that the Ateneo Initiative for Korean Studies (AIKS) is now here, because finally, we have a group in the University that will continuously push for the significance of Korean scholarship in academia. I hope that your presence in the University would inspire more students, and faculty, to pursue this as an area of research, because as this conference has x already established, the role that Korean Studies plays is something that cannot and should not be ignored.

  • Gangnam Style’
    POLITICS, PARODIES, AND THE PARADOX OF PSY’S ‘GANGNAM STYLE’ KEITH HOWARD∗ ABSTRACT In 2012, ‘Gangnam Style’ occasioned large flash mobs, three of the early ones taking place in Pasadena, Times Square in New York, and Sydney, Australia. Today, Psy, the singer of ‘Gangnam Style’, is regularly talked about as having brought K-pop to the world beyond East and Southeast Asia, and Korean tourism chiefs are actively planning a Korean Wave street in Gangnam, the district of Seoul lampooned by the song. But, ‘Gangnam Style’ has proved challenging to K-pop fans, who have resisted its gender stereotyping, its comic framing, and its simple dance moves that subsume the aesthetics of movement under a sequence of locations and action vignettes. At the same time, foreign success has given the song, and its singer, legitimacy in Korea so much so that, despite lyrics and video images that critique modern urban life and caricature the misogynistic failures of its protagonist, Psy headlined the inauguration celebrations of Korea’s incoming president, Park Geun-hye, in February 2013. This paper explores the song, its reception and critique by fans and others, and notes how, in an ultimate paradox that reflects the age of social media and the individualization of consumerism, the parodies the song spawned across the globe enabled Koreans to celebrate its success while ignoring its message. Keywords: Korean Wave, K-pop, popular music, parody, mimesis, consumerism, social media, Gangnam Style, Psy. INTRODUCTION In 2012, ‘Gangnam Style’ occasioned large flash mobs, three of the early ones taking place in Pasadena, Times Square in New York, and Sydney, Australia.

M.si³ ¹Ilmu Komunikasi, Fakultas Komunikasi Dan Bisnis, Universitas Telkom Abstrak Bandung yang merupakan salah satu kota besar di Jawa Barat dikenal sebagai kota kreatif di Indonesia yang memiliki banyak komunitas. Salah satunya adalah adanya komunitas ELF Bandung yang terbentuk akibat dari fenomena Korean wave yang terjadi di Indonesia. Komunitas tersebut merupakan perkumpulan dengan para anggota yang menggemari boyband dari Korea Selatan, Super Junior. Dengan adanya komunitas tersebut, tentunya para penggemar Super Junior di Bandung yang disebut ELF Bandung memiliki pengalaman sebelum hingga setelah menjadi ELF. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan jenis pendekatan fenomenologi dengan paradigma konstruktivisme didukung teori interaksionisme simbolik. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan berupa wawancara mendalam tak terstruktur, observasi partisipatif moderat, serta analisis dokumen. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan tahap-tahap reduksi fenomenologi menurut Creswell. Dengan adanya enam orang dari komunitas ELF Bandung yang bersedia menjadi informan, akhirnya penelitian ini berjalan dengan baik. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh adalah keenam informan mencapai status identitas berupa achievement dimana mereka mengeksplor serta berkomitmen menggemari Super Junior dengan cara menjalin pertemanan dengan sesama ELF, membeli pernak-pernik, serta mengisi waktu luang dengan kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan Super Junior. Kesimpulan yang didapat dari hasil penelitian ini adalah adanya perubahan yang terjadi terhadap informan dari sebelum menggemari Super Junior hingga setelah menjadi ELF seperti mereka lebih loyal dalam membelanjakan uangnya dan meluangkan waktunya,sebagai ELF untuk Super Junior, faktor pendorong seperti bias di Super Junior, orangtua, serta komunitas ELF Bandung.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.
