  • K-Pop in Latin America: Transcultural Fandom and Digital Mediation
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2250–2269 1932–8036/20170005 K-Pop in Latin America: Transcultural Fandom and Digital Mediation BENJAMIN HAN Concordia University Wisconsin, USA This article examines the transnational popularity of K-pop in Latin America. It argues K- pop as a subculture that transforms into transcultural fandom via digital mediation, further resulting in its accommodation into Latin American mass culture. The article further engages in a critical analysis of K-pop fan activism in Latin America to explore the transcultural dynamics of K-pop fandom. In doing so, the article provides a more holistic approach to the study of the Korean Wave in Latin America within the different “scapes” of globalization. Keywords: K-pop, fandom, Latin America, digital culture, Korean Wave The popularity of K-pop around the globe has garnered mass media publicity as Psy’s “Gangnam Style” reached number two on the Billboard Charts and became the most watched video on YouTube in 2012. Although newspapers, trade journals, and scholars have examined the growing transnational popularity of K-pop in East Asia, the reception and consumption of K-pop in Latin America have begun to receive serious scholarly consideration only in the last few years. Numerous reasons have been explicated for the international appeal and success of K-pop, but it also is important to understand that the transnational and transcultural fandom of K-pop cannot be confined solely to its metavisual aesthetics that creatively syncretize various genres of global popular music such as Black soul and J-pop. K-pop as hybrid music accentuated with powerful choreography is a form of visual spectacle but also promotes a particular kind of lifestyle represented by everyday modernity in which social mobility in the form of stardom becomes an important facet of the modernization process in Latin America.

Labels entering into 360 deals may find themselves liablefor violating the Seven-Year Statute or the Talent Agencies Act (TAA). With 360 agreements becoming more popular, labels should turn to an existing music industry that has dealt with the potentiallegal problems of 360 dealsfor years. The Korean pop industry, commonly called "K-pop, " has taken advantage of a 360-deal-like model for many years, and as a conse- quence, many Korean labels have experienced the potential legal prob- lems that American labels may face. Particularly,the legal problems faced by S.M Entertainment, a talent agency and music label giant in South Korea, as a result of their contract with TVXQ, a popular and hugely successful boy band,reveal exactly the type ofpotential liability faced by American music labels.

Despite the significant increase in gendered concerns, there has been a lack of discussion on gender inequality problems in the Korean popular music industry. For this reason, this thesis aims to investigate gender inequalities and power relations embedded in the male-dominated Korean popular music industry by analyzing the texts, images and music of Korean girl groups through the lens of a feminist political economy. In doing so, this study utilizes textual analysis in order to examine how gendered hierarchy and patriarchal power, acting as industrial practices, exploit Korean girl groups in the Korean popular music industry.

  • Modular Geometric Organism: the Amoebic Movement in K-Pop Performance
    Jeremy Chang-ling Hsu Modular Geometric Organism: The Amoebic Movement in K-Pop Performance Abstract In this article I consider K-Pop music videos a newly contagious amoeba to explore how K-Pop performance moves us and how its amoebic body moves in and out of the screen. Using research drawn from Posthumanism, I argue that technics opens up the border of human body through programmability, promoting the cyborgian assemblage that suggests the mobility of technics and the technicity of human bodies. In particular, I focus on the choreography of K-Pop, which I argue is a modular geometric organism that consists of human prosthesis and shares the same quality of the amoebic movement, in order to suggest that this contagious media is able to extend its pseudopods to engulf viewers while listening, watching, and recreating the performance. Due to the immersiveness of K-Pop performance videos, their amoebic movement is perceived more easily, and reshapes the relationship between the viewers and the videos, creating a new organism in their digital circulation. K-Pop, as one of the strongest popular cultural same choreography, soundtrack, facial expressions trends, breaks the obstacle of language and creates of the artists, and camera movement, while the a newly contagious vibe through its catchy songs only difference is the outfits on the performers that and synchronization of memorable choreographies. marks the distinction of space and time.

  • Juvenile Protection and Sexual Objectification: Analysis of the Performance Frame in Korean Music Television Broadcasts1
    ACTA KOR ANA VOL. 16, NO. 2, DECEMBER 2013: 329–365 JUVENILE PROTECTION AND SEXUAL OBJECTIFICATION: ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE FRAME IN KOREAN 1 MUSIC TELEVISION BROADCASTS By CEDARBOUGH T. SAEJI2 The wide-spread sexual objectification of women in Korean popular music performance subconsciously teaches men and boys that women and girls are sexual objects that exist to please them. Simultaneously sexual objectification disempowers girls and women by emphasizing superficial beauty. Although many decisions related to K- pop choreography, costumes, or lyrics may be attributed to music management companies, this article analyzes how music television programs Inkigayo (Seoul Broadcasting System) and Music Core (Munhwa Broadcasting Company) contribute to the sexual objectification of women through the ways that emcees frame performances and the ways the camera draws attention to sexualized body parts. In August 2012 racy performances by the girl group Kara raised public debate and spurred calls for amendments to the Juvenile Protection Law. At that time commentary focused on the impact of sexually provocative performances on young people. The law places responsibility for monitoring content onto the content producers and broadcasters, yet frame analysis of Kara’s performances, compared with performances in early 2013, demonstrated that neither Inkigayo nor Music Core had changed the sexually objectifying performance frame on their shows. The final version of the revised law, 1 This research was supported by Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund of 2013. 2 Author’s Note: Thank you to the editor and enormously helpful anonymous reviewers at Acta Koreana as well as friends and colleagues with whom I discussed aspects of this paper: my gratitude to Logan Clark, Timothy Gitzen, Meredith Perry, Jungwon Kim, Jisoo Hyun, Thea Suh, Go Gwanyeong, and the audience for my presentation at the 2013 International Association for the Study of Popular Music conference.

  • K-Pop : Le Phénomène Blackpink a Pris De L’Ampleur | 1
    K-Pop : le phénomène Blackpink a pris de l’ampleur | 1 Inconnu du grand public il y a encore quelques années, le groupe pop sud-coréen brille aujourd’hui à l’international et affole les compteurs. Des personnes de tous âges et de toutes origines rêvent de voir les quatre chanteuses sur scène. Retour sur leur trajectoire. En 2019, le groupe pop explose les records Qui sont ces quatre filles qui secouent la planète pop ? Blackpink est un Girls Band sud-coréen formé en 2016 par le label discographique YG Entertainment. Ce groupe compte quatre membres aux rôles variés : Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa et Rosé. Les quatre performeuses ont vu leur popularité s’accroître au fil du temps. Leur style originale leur a permis de gagner en audience, mais l’élément central de leur succès vient de leurs origines diverses. En effet, seule Jisoo est Sud- Coréenne et a toujours vécu dans son pays natal. Jennie a vécu en Nouvelle Zélande, Lisa est Thaïlandaise et Rosé a grandi en Australie. En 2016, Square One et Square Two sont mis en ligne. Ces premiers clips des Blackpink totaliseront 19 millions de vues en quatre jours, ce qui représente dans l’histoire de la K-Pop un des meilleurs lancements pour une jeune formation. 2019 est de loin l’année où la popularité des Blackpink atteint son paroxysme : une participation au festival Coachella aux États-Unis, une tournée mondiale et un come-back tant attendu avec Kill This Love. Dès sa sortie, le clip se hisse au sommet des charts iTunes américains. Étant la plus rapide à atteindre le million de « like » sur YouTube et la plus regardée en 24 heures avec 56,7 millions de visionnages, elle devient la vidéo à franchir le plus rapidement la barre des 100 millions de vues sur la plateforme.

  • K-Pop – What’S in a Name?
    K-pop – What’s in a Name? ACADEMIC ARTICLE: ROUNDTABLE Ed. Dr. Candace Epps-Robertson Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (United States) Ed. Katie Hulme Physicist by day, (amateur) poet by night (United States) Introduction What is a “Roundtable”? A rhizome consists of a multitude of interconnected nodes — and while those nodes might have more that connects than divides them, individual nodes don’t always agree. Learning means being in conversation with one another. Our perspectives are often shaped by our immediate networks and personal experiences, and it never hurts to take a step back and invite some voices to the table — especially those we might not otherwise hear, and those that bring wisdom, experience, and specialized knowledge into the conversation. “ ” 양극화 세상에서 가장 추한 꽃 “Polarization, the ugliest flower in the world” (Agust D, 2020) We have all witnessed heated and emotionally charged debates ignited by particular topics, fueled by the anonymity and speed afforded by social media. Discussions can quickly become polarized, and when polarization begins to play, discourse often begins to falter. Slowing down, taking time to pause, engaging with the ideas of others, and listening are essential to growth and creating new knowledge. The most famous roundtable is probably that of the legendary King Arthur, who insisted that his knights sit at a roundtable because such a table has no head — thus no designated leader. The purpose of a roundtable is to invite individuals into a space where the notion of “us” and “them” is temporarily dispelled, and each voice is given an equal platform to articulate itself.

  • Hallyu Wave (한류 웨이브 ) As a Major Motivation to Learn
    HALLYU WAVE (한류 웨이브 ) AS A MAJOR MOTIVATION TO LEARN KOREAN LANGUAGE BY DAYANA NAJWA BINTI SAMSUDIN INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA 2019 HALLYU WAVE (한류 웨이브 ) AS A MAJOR MOTIVATION TO LEARN KOREAN LANGUAGE BY DAYANA NAJWA BINTI SAMSUDIN A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Art (Hons.) of English for International Communication. JANUARY 2020 ABSTRACT Since 1990, Korean popular culture or known as Hallyu wave has become a global phenomenon due to the exportation of their culture. The Hallyu wave seems to give a big impact on individuals’ interests. However, till date, previous studies in Malaysia have only focused on the effects of Korean popular culture towards identity construction and in the area of tourism. Thus, this paper analyses the motivations to study Korean language and the types of Korean popular culture that students are interested in the content of Korean language learning. To answer these research objectives, this paper integrates qualitative approach on six students of Kulliyyah of Languages and Management (KLM) of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). From the findings, the result revealed that majority of the students wanted to learn the Korean language because of their interest in Hallyu wave. Furthermore, the participants believe that K-pop and Korean drama should be incorporated as part of the contents in Korean language learning as it can facilitate them in acquiring the language. These findings can facilitate both educators and individuals to incorporate the types of Korean popular culture as part of the Korean language learning. Keywords: Hallyu wave, Korean language learning, motivation, IIUM, KLM, K-pop, Korean drama i APPROVAL PAGE ii DECLARATION I hereby declare that this dissertation is the result of my own investigations, except where otherwise stated.
