Operating profit was August 16, 2019 slightly below our estimate (W10.3bn) and the consensus. Revenue growth continued to be driven by the content (+40% for album/digital music) and global digital (+52% to W1.3bn for YouTube revenue) segments , and the monetization of new artists also gained traction.

  • Conceptually Androgynous
    Umeå Center for Gender Studies Conceptually androgynous The production and commodification of gender in Korean pop music Petter Almqvist-Ingersoll Master Thesis in Gender Studies Spring 2019 Thesis supervisor: Johanna Overud, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Stemming from a recent surge in articles related to Korean masculinities, and based in a feminist and queer Marxist theoretical framework, this paper asks how gender, with a specific focus on what is referred to as soft masculinity, is constructed through K-pop performances, as well as what power structures are in play. By reading studies on pan-Asian masculinities and gender performativity - taking into account such factors as talnori and kkonminam, and investigating conceptual terms flower boy, aegyo, and girl crush - it forms a baseline for a qualitative research project. By conducting qualitative interviews with Swedish K-pop fans and performing semiotic analysis of K-pop music videos, the thesis finds that although K-pop masculinities are perceived as feminine to a foreign audience, they are still heavily rooted in a heteronormative framework. Furthermore, in investigating the production of gender performativity in K-pop, it finds that neoliberal commercialism holds an assertive grip over these productions and are thus able to dictate ‘conceptualizations’ of gender and project identities that are specifically tailored to attract certain audiences. Lastly, the study shows that these practices are sold under an umbrella of ‘loyalty’ in which fans are incentivized to consume in order to show support for their idols – in which the concept of desire plays a significant role.

  • 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.

Crafted for the Male Gaze: Gender Discrimination in the K-Pop Industry By Liz Jonas1 Abstract This paper explores the ways in which the idol industry portrays male and female bodies through the comparison of idol groups and the dominant ways in which they are marketed to the public. A key difference is the absence or presence of agency. Whereas boy group content may market towards the female gaze, their content is crafted by a largely male creative staff or the idols themselves, affording the idols agency over their choices or placing them in power holding positions. Contrasted, girl groups are marketed towards the male gaze, by a largely male creative staff and with less idols participating.

The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.

  • The Korean Wave in America: Assessing the Status of K-Pop and K-Drama Between Global and Local
    Situations 11.2 (2018): 105– 27 ISSN: 2288–7822 The Korean Wave in America: Assessing the Status of K-pop and K-drama between Global and Local Lisa M. Longenecker and Jooyoun Lee (St. Edward’s University) Abstract Although scholarly attention has focused increasingly on the global recognition of the Korean Wave, little has been explored regarding the popularity and appeal of this phenomenon in the United States. This article seeks to fill this gap by analyzing the extent to which hallyu has been recognized and accepted by American audiences by focusing on K-pop and K-drama. Exploring how hallyu is being received in America offers meaningful insights into how a country with predominant cultural influence on the global stage responds to another country’s transnational popular culture. This study demonstrates that K-pop and K-drama are gradually gaining popularity and visibility in America via diverse channels. BTS in particular has significantly penetrated the U.S. market by interacting with fans on social media, meeting psychological needs of individuals, and filling in for the lack of boy bands in the current American music scene. While both K-pop and K-drama exhibit some limitations in infiltrating American society, the contemporary status of hallyu in America disputes the idea of American cultural dominance by illustrating a complex and intriguing process of globalization embedded in constant interactions between global and local forces, a process that entails adaptation, acceptance, and tension between different cultures. Keywords: Korean Wave, hybridity, cultural tension, cultural homogenization, heterogenization, K-pop, K-drama, BTS 106 Lisa M.
