Food As Part of Hallyu (Korean Wave) Food as part of Hallyu (Korean Wave) 2nd Seminar of King's Asian CCI Research Society Eun-hee Kim & Sun-kyu Lee What is Hallyu? • Korean Wave (한류; 韓流; Hallyu) - "Hánliú" (韓流) literally means "flow of Korea“ - Expression referring to the increase in the popularity of South Korean culture since the late 1990s - The term was originally coined in mid-1999 by Beijing journalists who were surprised by China's growing interest in South Korean culture Hallyu & Dae Jang Geum (2005) • Dae Jang Geum is a very first Korean drama which made a huge success in China and leaded Hallyu • Story about a kitchen cook, Jang-Geum, who became the first female physician of King in Joseon Dynasty – her struggle to learn the secrets of tradi]onal Korean cooking and medicine >> Audiences could see various elements of Korean culture such as clothes and cuisine Stas]cs about Dae Jang Geum • Imported by Hunan Satellite TV • Rang debut - 8.6%, and even 10% for ci]es like Shanghai and Changsha, which ranks first of all rangs at the same slot over the country • Rangs peaked at 180 million viewers (14% viewer rang in China) – excep]onally high in terms of satellite TV rangs. • 150 million yuan (£16 million) of adver]sing revenue for the first quarter of 2005 >> Unprecedented financial returns for the staon, Hunan TV, over 35 million yuan (£3.7 million) Korean Food in Dae Jang Geum ? However… • Despite its massive success in China, the Korean food did not get enough aen]on to be a new cultural trend • Korean food in K-Drama was s]ll remained as a thing to see, not to “eat” or “cook” in China Now, My Love from the Star (2014) • South Korean television series about an alien who landed on Earth in the Joseon Dynasty and, 400 years later, falls in love with a top actress Alien in the modern era Actress • The series casted Soo- hyun Kim (an alien) and Ji-hyun Jun (a top actress) as main characters Another Huge Success in China • My Love from the Star became the most expensive Korean drama in China; US$35,000 per episode • One of the most viewed streaming shows on Chinese plaorm iQiyi, which is official importer of My Love from the Star - more than 2.5 billion views • now ABC has worked for the American remake of My Love from the Star • Xiao Lixin from China Daily – 1) great innovaons in terms of themes and narrave paerns, 2)logical and fast- paced plot with whimsy and roman]c punch lines, 3) high- speed photography and CGI for lifelike visual impact And, “Chi-Mac” (Chicken & Beer) KFC Commercial in China hlps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd3uVIjJEQg Now Chinese people eat Korean Food (Chi-Mac) And take wedding pictures on the set of My Love from the Star !! news about ‘Chi-Mac’ fever in China hlps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFvDmDEXWAs (from 1:23-2:16) Why now?! • Above all, the “ac]ve young generaon” became the central recipients of K-Drama • Thanks to the technological advance (e.g. Internet), the young Chinese recipients could watch the show and share the review on SnS faster than ever • As a result, as the interest about the show rapidly increases, more and more people try to “experience” Korean culture more directly like the Chi-Mac case Indeed, it is more than “Chi-Mac” • Instant noodle - Consump]on of Korean instant noodle also rose to a record high in China, while the drama aired; as the couple has enjoyed a bowl of noodles • Cheon Song-yi’s Fashion/Style In summary, • The boom of Chi-Mac in China implies that the influence of Hallyu is stronger than ever before • At the same ]me, it shows that now the culture has been created and consumed by “audiences” more directly and quite unpredictably • However, despite the democrac movement, it should be cau]ous that the new cultural trend is normally related with excessive “commercialism” • Plus, to create beler cultural product, both Korea and China should find a proper cultural “balance” .

  • Korean Television Dramas, Romance, Erotics, and Race
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transnational Intimacies: Korean Television Dramas, Romance, Erotics, and Race A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Gender Studies by Min Joo Lee 2020 © Copyright by Min Joo Lee 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transnational Intimacies: Korean Television Dramas, Romance, Erotics, and Race by Min Joo Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Gender Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Purnima Mankekar, Chair In this dissertation, I examine the gendered and racial politics of women’s transnational sex tourism. I draw on thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork with women from Europe and North America who travel to South Korea to form intimate relations with South Korean men in a phenomenon known as Hallyu tourism. Hallyu (also known as the Korean Wave) is a transnational phenomenon whereby people from all over the world consume South Korean popular culture including music, films, and television programs. In my dissertation, I focus on the transnational popularity of romantic South Korean television dramas and how they generate erotic desires in their viewers for South Korean men. I build on interdisciplinary debates in the fields of Gender Studies, Asian Studies, and Media Studies to examine the racial, gendered, and sexual politics of the Hallyu tourists’ erotic desires and their intimate relationships with South Korea men. I argue that these transnational relationships of intimacy produce racialized ii discourses of South Korean masculinity emerging at the intersection of South Korean cultural conceptions of gender and transnational discourses of race. Furthermore, I suggest that these intimate encounters between South Korean men and “Western” female Hallyu tourists compel us to reconfigure binary conceptions of West versus East, national versus transnational, sex versus romance, and masculine versus feminine.

  • Celebrity Cinema and Hallyu 2.0 Ng Shu Min Chrystal, Nanyang
    Celebrity Cinema and Hallyu 2.0 Ng Shu Min Chrystal, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Liew Kai Khiun, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore The Asian Conference on Media & Mass Communication 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Through their realist cinematic portrayals of the traumatic evolution of Korean socio- political landscapes, Korean directors such as Im Kwon-Taek are synonymous with Korean national Cinema. These directors have raised the country’s cultural profile internationally through the film festival circuit. However, with the phenomenal global reach of the “Korean Wave” or Hallyu, film is no longer a singular projection of the image of South Korea. Today, television dramas have overtaken films, flooding television and small mobile screens with attractive faces of Korean celebrities. While several studies have made references to key Korean celebrities, namely Lee Young Ae, Rain and Gianna Jun, there have been fewer efforts to trace these celebrities’ trajectories within films and other platforms. This paper will explore how cinema within the Korean Wave phenomenon contributes to the ecology of the Korean Wave and the roles these celebrities play within this eco system. Keywords: Korean Wave, Hallyu, Korean Cinema, Celebrities, Gianna Jun, Lee Young Ae, Rain, Korean Drama iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction Through their realist cinematic portrayals of the traumatic evolution of Korean socio- political landscapes, the names of Im Kwon-Taek, Lee Chang Dong and Park Chan- Wook may be synonymous with Korean national Cinema. Featured commonly in the circuits of prestigious international film festivals, reviews and scholarly commentaries, these filmmakers have raised the profile of South Korea’s film culture in the global arena significantly.

  • Cultural Heritage in Korea – from a Japanese Perspective Toshio Asakura National Museum of Ethnology
    Cultural heritage in Korea – from a Japanese perspective Toshio Asakura National Museum of Ethnology Introduction The Korean television drama Dae Jang-geum has been popular not only in Korea but also throughout East Asia, including in Japan, Taiwan and China. It is based on the true story of Jang-geum, the reputedly first woman to hold the position of royal physician in the 16th-century during the Joseon Dynasty (1392−1897). What is interesting about the drama from a perspective of cultural her- itage is that it serves to highlight traditional Korean culture, espe- cially Korean court cuisine and medicine.

License: CC-BY 4.0 104 Reconsidering Cultural Heritage in East Asia I was in charge of supervising the Japanese-language version of this show, and one of the most challenging, yet interesting, aspects of my task was to work out how to translate Korean culture to a Japanese audience.1 By referring to this drama, which was part of the so-called ‘Korean wave’ (hanryû), I will investigate the circum- stances surrounding three aspects of cultural heritage in Korea: culinary culture; Living National Treasures (i.e. holders of Impor- tant Intangible Cultural Properties); and cultural landscapes. Japan and Korea are said to share broadly similar cultural heritage, including amongst other things the influence of Chinese culture, as exemplified by the spoken language and script, and the influence of Confucianism.

  • The New Korean Wave in the Middle East and Its Role in the Strategic Approach to Medical Tourism in Korea
    Kim / The New Korean Wave in the Middle East 258 THE NEW KOREAN WAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND ITS ROLE IN THE STRATEGIC APPROACH TO MEDICAL TOURISM IN KOREA Suwan Kim Department of Arabic Interpretation and Translation Hankuk University of Foreign Studies [email protected] Abstract The “Korean Wave” (known as Hallyu in Korean) describes the phenomenon whereby aspects of Korean culture have become popular globally. By conducting a cross-cultural analysis, this study identifies the status and shifts of Hallyu in the Middle East, and analyzes the factors that have helped it spread successfully. This paper also seeks a strategic approach for evaluating the role of the new Korean Wave in the Middle East. The number of Middle Eastern patients and families visiting Korea for medical tourism has risen rapidly in the past few years. Medical tourism from the Middle East is expected to grow, improving Korea’s reputation in the region and generating financial gain. The results imply great potential for establishing a new Korean Wave beyond the present scope.

  • Past, Present and Future of Hallyu (Korean Wave)
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5, No. 5; October 2015 Past, Present and Future of Hallyu (Korean Wave) Kim Bok-rae Professor Andong national University I. Introduction Hallyu refers to the phenomenon of Korean popular culture which came into vogue in Southeast Asia and mainland China in late 1990s. Especially, hallyu is very popular among young people enchanted with Korean music (K-pop), dramas (K-drama), movies, fashion, food, and beauty in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, etc. This cultural phenomenon has been closely connected with multi-layered transnational movements of people, information and capital flows in East Asia. Since the 15th century, East and West have been the two subjects of cultural phenomena. Such East–West dichotomy was articulated by Westerners in the scholarly tradition known as “Orientalism.”During the Age of Exploration (1400–1600), West didn’t only take control of East by military force, but also created a new concept of East/Orient, as Edward Said analyzed it expertly in his masterpiece Orientalism in 1978. Throughout the history of imperialism for nearly 4-5 centuries, west was a cognitive subject, but East was an object being recognized by the former. Accordingly, “civilization and modernization” became the exclusive properties of which West had copyright (?!), whereas East was a “sub-subject” to borrow or even plagiarize from Western standards. In this sense, (making) modern history in East Asia was a compulsive imitation of Western civilization or a catch-up with the West in other wards. Thus, it is interesting to note that East Asian people, after gaining economic power through “compressed modernization,”1 are eager to be main agents of their cultural activities in and through the enjoyment of East Asian popular culture in a postmodern era.

  • Korean Wave and Beyond: South Korean Popular Culture
    Title: Korean Wave and Beyond: South Korean Popular Culture History 2166A 570 Time, Date and Location: Monday, 1:30-4:30 in Labatt Hall 103 Description: This course will introduce social, cultural and political developments in South Korea via films, music and popular culture. Referring to earlier periods and to North Korea when necessary and continuing to the present-day Korean Wave, we will explore Korean popular culture to understand the modern history of Korea. Please note that lecture locations can change with very little notice before the beginning of term. So be sure to check again before class begins. Instructor: Dr. Adam Bohnet, Associate Professor, Department of History. Office: South Annex 059. E-mail: [email protected]. Office Hours: Thursday,1:30-2:30, or by appointment. Prerequisites: None. Office Hours and E-mail: My office is South Annex 059. I will be there during my office hours on Tuesday 11:00-12:00. I will often be there at other times as well, and will usually be willing to talk to students (especially if my door is already open). If I am too busy right then, I will ask you to come by later - so it doesn’t hurt to ask! I will also respond to student questions by e-mail. I will try to respond promptly within a day, but students should allow for two days for a response. Do be sure to make it clear in the subject line that you are a student in my course. It also helps to hint at the matter at hand in the subject line also – ie, if you want a letter of reference, or have a question about the essay, please don’t send me an e-mail with the subject line “How are things?” as that will likely end up in my “to be read later” file, but with a subject line like “Student of Korean Wave and Beyond: Request for Letter of Reference” or “Korean Wave and Beyond: Question about Essay.” Please note that non-UWO e-mail may go missing.
