  • Understanding Korean Society Through Popular Music
    Situations Vol. 5 (Winter 2011) © 2011 by Yonsei University Hannah N. Bergen (Yonsei University, Seoul) Understanding Korean Society through Popular Music Today one of the most unique aspects of inter-Asian cultural sharing is the hallyu wave. This social phenomenon began in Seoul, South Korea and today accounts for the all pervasive nature of Korean popular entertainment dominating the airwaves of nearly every Asian country. From Japan to Thailand, “K-pop” has conquered the Asian market, and is now turning its attention to the rest of the world. In order to illustrate this current social phenomenon, I have found many sources that all point to the same aspects in K-pop which have allowed one small country to make their entertainment business one of its most lucrative exports. The hallyu wave as a whole has become a blending of uniquely Korean culture with aspects of Western and other Asian cultures which has created a style unique to this particular moment of history. In the words of Sun Jung, author of the article “Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption: Yonsama, Rain, Oldboy, K-Pop Idols,” “Transcultural hybridity is one of the most significant aspects of contemporary South Korean popular culture in the postmodern era and is the main driving force behind its overseas popularity” (Jung 166). This combination has allowed the music and film from Korea to be extremely accessible to a wide audience of various nationalities and languages. In order to clearly illustrate the international success of hallyu, I will focus on one specific aspect of current Korean popular culture: music.

  • Building the Authentic Celebrity: the “Idol” Phenomenon in the Attention Economy
    Building the Authentic Celebrity: The “Idol” Phenomenon in the Attention Economy. by Charles Fairchild Abstract: The “Idol” phenomenon is a spectacle founded on the creation, perpetuation, and maintenance of specific kinds of carefully structured consumer relationships. Several of the more successful contestants are gradually formed into recognizable and familiar brands centered on varied and mostly familiar pop star personae intended to form the foundations of the relationships between the various contestants and their supporters. However “Idol” relationships are not limited to familiar musician-fan binaries, but grow and evolve into a series of intimate, active relationships that stretch well beyond the life of the show. By the end of each series the primary relationship is no longer confined to contestants and fans, but include a series of relationships between the program and its audience created through a wide range of channels. The main goal of “Idol’s” producers is to build affective investment in contestants and gradually shift that investment to the narrative and drama of the program itself. The Strategic Imperative The advent of the “Idol” phenomenon near the turn of millennium appeared to be overkill. At the time, we did not seem to be running short of pop stars nor were we light on manufactured pop confections. Of course, “Idol” is not a response to any perceived aesthetic crisis on the supply-side, but a reaction to a whole other set of concerns on the demand side. With the vertical integration of global cultural production, a sea change in the technology used to distribute, consume, and experience music, and a music industry now permanently embedded in the larger structures of the entertainment industry, music producers are faced with both grave crises and surprising opportunities.

  • Body Electric
    Body Electric REVIEW: Electric Idols haus of bambi Choreography by Robert Woofter The REACH John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts October 25, 2019 By Val Oliphant The music was bumping as we arrived for Robert Woofter’s Electric Idols at the Kennedy Center’s new REACH space this past Friday evening, for an installment of the center’s Local Dance Commissioning Project. Audience members dressed to fit the show: floor-length fur coats, sparkly cut-to-the-navel dresses, and dads with beards and braided pigtails. And for an artist whose nom de danse is Bambi Warhol, that’s no surprise. Woofter’s mesmerizing liturgical-dance-meets-club-culture tribute to Queer nightlife embodied the idea that for many queer people, dance and nightclubs become both their religious expression and house of worship. Electric Idols was D.C.-based performance artist Woofter’s collaboration with several well- known artists from the Electric Dance Music (EDM) and Queer scenes in D.C. Lemz, the DJ and producer behind the quarterly queer dance party at 9:30 Club and Wonderland Ballroom’s SLEAZE, a gay disco celebration, composed the driving music. Scotto, who designed and ran lights at a huge laundry list of NYC’s best nightclubs and performed at Ravestock, the first EDM mega-festival at Woodstock ’94, perfectly tailored the lighting to the outdoor venue as daylight faded to dusk. Lights were minimal while the sun was up, focusing on the white set with a keyhole illuminated by an electric blue strip of neon. As the sun set, spotlights highlighted the four dancers swathed in white mesh shorts, red briefs, and white crops tank top with a sequined heart go-go dancing atop four white boxes.

  • Adapting Idols Joost De Bruin and Koos Zwaan
    Introduction: Adapting Idols Joost de Bruin and Koos Zwaan Idols is one of the most popular and successful global television formats produced in the last decade. The format has been adapted in over 40 territories all over the world, as the appendix – compiled by Sukhpreet Singh and Martin Kretschmer for this book – shows. The original show, Pop Idol, went to air in the UK in 2001. The next year, local versions of the show were broadcast in Poland, South Africa, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. By the end of 2004 – exactly three years after the introduction of Pop Idol – 30 territories were screening their own Idols shows, illustrating the rapid global spread of the format. In some cases Idols was produced for transnational geographic regions, such as Asian Idol – with auditions in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam – and the Pan-Arab Superstar, which featured contestants from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco and Algeria. The most recent branch on the global Idols tree at the time of writing is Idol Puerto Rico. The owners of the Idols format, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, have thus managed to capitalize on the work put into the design of the original UK show by turning it into a format and selling it to a range of territories. The goal of Idols shows is to involve a nation (or a region consisting of several different nations) in a quest for a popular music idol who can be admired by all. Idols shows are commonly divided into four distinct phases (Holmes 2004).
