  • 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.

  • J-Pop and K-Pop Dance Music Videos
    J-pop and K-pop Dance Music Videos: Japan in the Face of Hallyu A THESIS Presented to the University Honors Program California State University, Long Beach In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the University Honors Program Certificate Laura A. Tanimoto Summer 2017 ABSTRACT J-pop and K-pop Dance Music Videos: Japan in the Face of Hallyu By Laura A. Tanimoto Summer 2017 Since the turn of the millennia, the popularity of South Korean pop music has steadily grown and exploded worldwide. One reason may be attributed to global exposure through K-pop dance music videos. As an ambassador through the worldwide web, dance music videos are characterized by stunning visuals, advanced videography and editing, immaculate dance performance, and chic infusion of its respective country’s culture. In recent years, Japan’s dance music video voice has been weaker in contrast to South Korea. Despite Japan being an early pioneer of the music video genre itself, the country pauses in the face of international popularization. It is the purpose of this research to find the reasons why and suggest the steps Japan might take to be a stronger global competitor. If there is remediation, what are the ways in which both countries can continue to showcase each’s own unique pop culture through the dance music video medium? In particular, this thesis will observe and analyze how the film, culture, and dance elements in Japanese and Korean pop dance music videos communicate their image to the world and what each country has to offer. Topics on production value, mimetic dance, kawaii culture, Hallyu, and attention economy will be vital to this research.
