  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION I.I Background of the Study By
    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.

Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Since the late 1980s, Korean pop music has aspired to be a more advanced industry and establish an international presence, based on the economic leap and democratization as a springboard. Contemporary K-pop, originating from the underground dance scene in the 1980s, succeeded in transforming Korean pop music into a modern and youth-oriented genre with a new style dubbed "rap/dance music." The rise of dance music changed the landscape of Korean popular music and became the cornerstone of the K-pop idol music. In the era of globalization, K-pop’s unique aesthetics and strategy, later termed “Cultural Technology,” achieved substantial returns in the international market. Throughout this evolution, Korean Americans were vital players who brought K-pop closer to its mission of modern and international pop music. In the age of globalization, K-pop's modernity and identity are evolving in a new way.
