    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION I.I Background of the Study By language, people can express their feeling by using words in their own language. People can express their feeling by using language then write it into a beautiful and meaningful word to make a song by its lyric. Lyrics in every song could have implicit or explicit meaning based on the use of words. A language is consisting of all the sounds, words, and infinitely many possible sentences, when you know language you know the sounds, the words, and the rules for their combination (Fromkin, Rodman.et.al: 2003). Language is a system of conventional spoken or written symbols used by people nowadays to communicate with each other.According to American dictionary Language is a system of communication by speaking, writing, or making signs in a way that can be understood, or any of the different systems of communication used in particular regions. According to Cambridge Dictionary language is a system of communication consisting of sounds, words, and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work . People need language to communicate, to interact and to get information from other people (Khadijah, Arifah: 2016). 1 Estimates of the number of languages in the world vary between 6,000 and 7,000. However, it is expected to succeed in an arbitrary change that might occur a mixture of language and dialect. Natural language is conversation or language, but each language can be encoded into media that uses audio, visual, or tactile stimuli, for example, graphic writing, braille, or whistling.

  • Diasporic Korean Audiences of Hallyu in Vancouver, Canada
    Korea Journal, vol. 60, no. 1 (spring 2020): 152–178. doi: 10.25024/kj.2020.60.1.152 © The Academy of Korean Studies, 2020 Diasporic Korean Audiences of Hallyu in Vancouver, Canada Kyong YOON Abstract This study analyzes how diasporic audiences engage with the transnational flows of Korean media and popular culture (Hallyu). Drawing on in-depth interviews with young Korean Canadian audience members in Vancouver, this study examines the diasporic reception of Hallyu. While growing up, the young people in this study were exposed to Korean media and popular culture in their immigrant families. However, they gradually became selective and critical audiences of Hallyu, and negotiated their identities and socialities through consuming this transnational cultural trend. This study offers insights into how a transnational cultural form is incorporated into the lives of its young diasporic audiences who have grown up negotiating different cultures. The study also contributes to articulating a diasporic perspective in the existing studies of Hallyu. Keywords: Hallyu (Korean Wave), Korean diaspora, diasporic audience, youth, Vancouver, Canada, diaspora studies This work was supported by the Academy of Korean Studies (Grant Number AKS-2017-R71). Kyong YOON is an associate professor of Cultural Studies at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. His research interests are digital media, migration, and youth culture. His most recent publication is Digital Mediascapes of Transnational Korean Youth Culture (Routledge, 2020). E-mail: [email protected]. Diasporic Korean Audiences of Hallyu in Vancouver, Canada 153 The recent phenomenon of Hallyu (i.e., transnational flows of Korean media and popular culture) has been analyzed as a vivid example of a globally circulated culture that originates in a non-Western country.

  • Diversity of K-Pop: a Focus on Race, Language, and Musical Genre
    DIVERSITY OF K-POP: A FOCUS ON RACE, LANGUAGE, AND MUSICAL GENRE Wonseok Lee A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2018 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2018 Wonseok Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Since the end of the 1990s, Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu, has spread to the world. As the most significant part of Hallyu, Korean popular music, K-pop, captivates global audiences. From a typical K-pop artist, Psy, to a recent sensation of global popular music, BTS, K-pop enthusiasts all around the world prove that K-pop is an ongoing global cultural flow. Despite the fact that the term K-pop explicitly indicates a certain ethnicity and language, as K- pop expanded and became influential to the world, it developed distinct features that did not exist in it before. This thesis examines these distinct features of K-pop focusing on race, language, and musical genre: it reveals how K-pop groups today consist of non-Korean musicians, what makes K-pop groups consisting of all Korean musicians sing in non-Korean languages, what kind of diverse musical genres exists in the K-pop field with two case studies, and what these features mean in terms of the discourse of K-pop today. By looking at the diversity of K-pop, I emphasize that K-pop is not merely a dance- oriented musical genre sung by Koreans in the Korean language.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reappropriating Desires in Neoliberal Societies through KPop A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Asian American Studies By Daisy Kim 2012 © Copyright by Daisy Kim 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Reappropriating Desires in Neoliberal Societies through KPop By Daisy Kim Master of Arts in Asian American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Victor Bascara, Chair ABSTRACT: This project analyzes contemporary KPop as a commercial cultural production and as a business model that emerged as the South Korean state’s U.S-aligned neoliberal project, and its functions as an ideological, political, and economic apparatus to effectively affect the production and reproduction of desires in the emergence of various sub-cultures at disparate sites across the globe. Legacies of colonialism, neocolonialism, and (late) capitalist developments that sanctioned the conditions for this particular form of mass and popular culture, KPop as a commercial commodity is also a contesting subject of appropriation and reappropriation by those in power and those in the margins. By examining the institutionalized and systematic new media platforms and internet technologies which enables new forms of globalized interactions with mass culture in general and KPop in particular, the thesis locates how resistant and alternative (sub) cultures emerge in variable conditions. Through newly found mediums online, emerging cultural formations challenge and negotiate the conditions of commercial and dominant systems, to allow various and localized subaltern (secondary) cultural identities to decenter, disrupt, and instigate KPop and its neoliberal governance, to reorient and reappropriate itself in the process as well.
