I am deeply grateful to each of them. First, I want to express my most heartfelt gratitude to my advisor, Deborah Wong, who has been an amazing scholarly mentor as well as a model for living a humane life. Thanks to her encouragement in 2012, after I encountered her and gave her my portfolio at the SEM in New Orleans, I decided to pursue my doctorate at UCR in 2013. Thank you for continuously encouraging me to carry through my research project and earnestly giving me your critical advice and feedback on this dissertation. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to my dissertation committee members, Kelly Jeong, René Lysloff, and Jonathan Ritter. Through taking seminars and individual studies with these great faculty members at UCR, I gained my expertise in Korean studies, popular music studies, and ethnomusicology. Thank you for your essential and insightful suggestions on my work. My special acknowledgement goes to the Korean female K-pop fans who were willing to participate in my research. Without these fabulous women and girls, this project would have been unachievable. Identifying myself with these female fans, I had memorable and invaluable times together with them performing fandom during my fieldwork. Thank each of you for telling me about your precious experiences as “ppasuni” in Korea, as well as listening to my story. We all brought this project to fruition together. I am also indebted to Seung-Ah Lee at UCLA for my field research in iv Korea. As both a research mentor and a fellow fan of JYJ, she accompanied me on many sessions of my fieldwork, including the first and final days of the field research. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences as both a fandom researcher and a member of fandom. Additionally, I am greatly appreciative to Shirley Woo (2017 UCR alumna) for telling me about her experiences in K-pop fandom as a dancer specializing in K-pop dance covers. I would like especially to express my sincere gratefulness to Hillary Jenks in the UCR Graduate Writing Center. She gave me tremendous help with the dissertation writing process throughout over fifty consultation sessions both online and in person. Thank you for editing and proofreading this dissertation as well as listening to me. I also owe parts of my dissertation draft to Janine Carlock at the University of Pittsburgh Writing Center. Throughout my four and half years at UCR, I have been much obliged to supportive faculty. To Edward Chang, thank you for supporting me by giving me opportunities to work as your teaching assistant in Ethnic Studies and an intern at the YOK Center. To Kelli King, thank you for cheering me up always. Dancing in your ballet class, I was able to refresh my brain with the learning process of body movement. I am truly thankful to have brilliant and friendly graduate cohorts in the department of music at UCR who intellectually inspired me, emotionally supported me, and willingly encouraged me in my dissertation writing and defense: Christine Miyong Lee, Gelareh Naseri, Eileen Regullano, Liz Wood, Rachel Howerton, Daniel Castro, Jaclyn Howerton, Matt Neil, Tori Dalzell, Erica Jones, Nana Kaneko, Paula Propst, Toni Rasmussen, Neal v Matherne, Supeena Insee Adler, Erica Siegel, Claudine Avalos, Hannah Balcomb, Corey Blake Lascano, Benjamin Blocksom, Andrea Decker, Jesse Freedman, Owain Graham, Jessica Gutierrez Masini, Dhiren Panikker, Yuki Proulx, Kevin Sliwoski, Elizabeth Stela, Leilani Dade, Roxy DePue, Mark Inchoco, and Eric Jones. Also, I would like to say thank you to Jessie Vallejo and the UCR Mayupatapi members for giving me a chance to play Andean music on the violin and participate in your ensemble. During my years in Korea and the States, as well as my conference travels to many countries, I am devoutly thankful to have good friends around the world who show their beautiful friendship with, encouragement to, and support for me. To Jonghee Kang in Seoul, thank you for befriending me in Pittsburgh, taking care of me, and being there for me anytime and anywhere. To Sujin Kim in Busan, thank you for always being on my side, listening to me, praying for me, and counseling me on dissertation writing in practice.

To Sooyoung Hong in Seattle, thank you for being concerned about me and helping me make happy memories in Seattle. I extend my profound thanks to my relatives in the U.S. for backing me up during my studies in the States. To my aunt Youngja Lee, thank you for remembering me and my family in your prayers, sending much love to me, allowing me to stay at your places vi in New York and Florida, and making me comfortable all the time. To my uncle Seungkyu Lee, thank you for welcoming me anytime and telling me about stories of your own experiences as a theater director. I must also show my appreciation to the Trans in Moreno Valley: Linda, Vu, Chloe, and Evelyn Tran with whom I live. Although I am not kin to them, they treat me as a family member in addition to their friend – I am now a Korean auntie of two Vietnamese American girls! Thank you to all for cheering me up, making me at home during my dissertation writing, sharing home-made pho and other good dishes with me, and taking me to nice local restaurants and markets. Last but not least, I am eternally grateful to my family in Korea for their infinite love and support for me. Indescribable gratitude goes to my parents. To my father, thank you for everything you do for me. I love you, my superhero. To my mother, thank you for praying for me by candlelight every day and night. Without your undying devotion to me, I wouldn’t have been able to make it. Thank you to my dearest brother Kiju Kim, who stands by me whatever happens and roots for me.

And to my loveliest nephews, Kyusung and Yesung Kim, thank you for making my day. vii Dedication To my father, Sung Young Kim, who has made me everything I am. And to my mother, Soonja Kim, who is both my superstar and my everlasting fan. viii ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION K-Popping: Korean Women, K-Pop, and Fandom by Jungwon Kim Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Music University of California, Riverside, December 2017 Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Korean popular music (hereafter K-pop) can be understood as an inclusive cultural phenomenon. K-pop fandom constitutes a sizeable portion of this phenomenon and is characteristic, to a large degree, of K-pop culture. However, female fans, especially in Korea, are frequently disdained in mainstream Korean culture, and their fandom has been undervalued and derided. Challenging this negative view of female fans, I autoethnographically examine Korean female K-pop fandom, based on my field research in Korea from August 2015 to September 2016, and from the end of December 2016 to early January 2017. I first introduce and explain various Korean slang expressions describing fandom, including “ppasuni,” a disparaging expression to describe Korean female fans. Drawing upon the concept of musicking (music as an activity people do, functioning as a verb), I chart multiple forms of musicking, which Korean female K-pop fans do before, during, and after concerts. Focusing on musicking during concerts, I ix analyze fan chanting and singing during musicians’ live performances, also known as “ttechang.” I also illuminate how female fans construct a K-pop soundscape through their different voices around the concert venue. In addition to these music-related fan practices, I explore a wide array of cultures and subcultures that Korean female K-pop fans build. Further, I investigate how Korean female fans perform feminist fandom, as well as how these fans participate in political activities through fandom. Thus, I contextualize K-pop fandom in a range of social and political phenomena. I then propose two concepts to reach a new understanding of K-pop and its female fandom – “K- popping” and “fanscape.” Building on the concept of musicking, I suggest K-pop as an action, and re-conceptualize K-pop as a verb, that is, “K-popping” or “to K-pop.” Also, to avoid confining Korean female K-pop fans and their activities to fan-“dom,” which differentiates and even marginalizes the fans, I expand the terminology for K-pop fan practices to fan-“scape.” This term, “fanscape” can be defined as not only a place or event where fans are present to perform their fandom, but also as a collage of different sounds, images, texts, and activities, which Korean female K-pop fans create.

  • 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.

A Computational Analysis of Information Structure Using Parallel Expository Texts in English and Japanese Abstract This thesis concerns the notion of 'information structure': informally, organization of information in an utterance with respect to the context. Information structure has been recognized as a critical element in a number of computer applications: e.g., selection of contextually appropriate forms in machine translation and speech generation, and analysis of text readability in computer-assisted writing systems. One of the problems involved in these applications is how to identify information structure in extended texts. This problem is often ignored, assumed to be trivial, or reduced to a sub-problem that does not correspond to the complexity of realistic texts. A handful of computational proposals face the problem directly, but they are generally limited in coverage and all suffer from lack of evaluation. To fully demonstrate the usefulness of information structure, it is essential to apply a theory of information structure to the identification problem and to provide an evaluation method.

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness. JEL classification: L82, O33, O34, Z1 Acknowledgements: We thank Dukgeun Ahn, Jinwoo Choi, Keun Lee, Walter G.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • The Korean Wave As a Localizing Process: Nation As a Global Actor in Cultural Production
    THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ju Oak Kim May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Patrick Murphy, Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Dal Yong Jin, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University © Copyright 2016 by Ju Oak Kim All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the production system. This research focused on how three agencies – the government, public broadcasting, and the culture industry – have negotiated their relationships in the process of globalization, and how the power dynamics of these three production sectors have been influenced by Korean society’s politics, economy, geography, and culture. The importance of the national media system was identified in the (re)production of the Korean Wave phenomenon by examining how public broadcasting-centered media ecology has control over the development of the popular music culture within Korean society. The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS)’s weekly show, Music Bank, was the subject of analysis regarding changes in the culture of media production in the phase of globalization. In-depth interviews with media professionals and consumers who became involved in the show production were conducted in order to grasp the patterns that Korean television has generated in the global expansion of local cultural practices.

    Big Bang – Shout Out To The World! (English Translation) [2009] Shout out to the World: TOP “I came here because of that string of hope. Where do I stand now? I ask myself this but even I don’t have a specific answer yet. During the process where I search for my other self, all my worries will fade away because I must find the person who will lend his shoulders to me.” ~TOP Name: Choi Seung-hyun Date of Birth: November 4, 1987 Skills: Rap, Writing lyrics, Beatbox *Starred in the KBS Drama, ‘I am Sam’ The power to awaken a soul, sometimes it takes pain to be re-born. [~ Pt.One~] -I once wanted to be a lyric poet that composed and recited verses.- I became mesmerized with ‘Hip-Hop’ music when I was in Grade 5. I went crazy for this type of music because I listened to it all day and carefully noted all the rap lyrics. If we have to talk about Hip-Hop music, I have to briefly talk about the roots of American Hip-Hop. When I first started listening to Hip-Hop, it was divided up into East Coast and West Coast in America. Wu Tang Clan and Notorius B.I.G. represented the East Coast (New York) scene and they focused largely on the rap and the lyrics, while representing the West Coast (LA) was 2Pac who focused more on the melody. Although at that time in Korea and from my memory, more people listened to West Coast hip hop but I was more into the East Coast style.
