  • A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry
    A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry by Hyejin Jo M.A., Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, 2016 B.A., Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology © Hyejin Jo 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Hyejin Jo Degree: Master of Arts Title: A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry Examining Committee: Chair: Daniel Ahadi Lecturer Dal Yong Jin Senior Supervisor Professor Martin Laba Supervisor Associate Professor Ju Oak Kim External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Psychology and Communication College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M International University Date Defended/Approved: July 12, 2019 ii Abstract Gender disparity is an emerging issue in contemporary South Korea. 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.

  • Socio-Cultural Analysis of Normative Femininity in Oh My Girl Banhana
    Iiyoshi 1 Ken Iiyoshi Professor Churchill CCEA 2013 – Dis/Abilities in Musical Contexts 24 May 2020 Socio-cultural Analysis of Normative Femininity in Oh My Girl Banhana As part of expanding my musical interest, I have been listening to different K-Pop groups recently. Part of the reason why I never listened to K-Pop till recently was due to its overtly sexualized character. Nonetheless, I came to like a particular song, called “Banana Allergy Monkey”, sung by a South Korean girls trio named Oh My Girl Banhana (See Appendix A and B). This video, based on my liking, seemed to be a great material to analyze, exploring what made it particularly attractive. The analysis shed light on how such features could be manifestations of globalized male-pleasing feminine norms that could unconsciously influence perception of women. Such effect puts pressure on women to conform to these norms at the risk of their physical and mental health, and in some cases their lives, such as through plastic surgeries. As such, the analysis leads to preliminary contemplation on how such effects should be reversed by addressing longstanding social drivers in not just South Korea, but also cultures across globe that marginalize individuals and communities in turn for musical success. The video is a personal retelling of a monkey with a banana allergy. She initially laments on her condition and on other monkeys looking down on her. However, after discovering that she can enjoy banana-flavored milk instead, she decides not to be dragged down by such matters. The music-producing label, WM Entertainment, explained that this song “…has a positive message and story of happiness about overcoming through hope despite being different or lacking something.

  • Kpop-Textbook.Pdf
    Chapter 1: What is Kpop? K-pop (an abbreviation of Korean pop or Korean popular music) is a musical genre consisting of electronic, hip hop, pop, rock, and R&B music originating in South Korea. In addition to music, K-pop has grown into a popular subculture among teenagers and young adults throughout Asia, resulting in widespread interest in the fashion and style of Korean idol groups and singers. Kpop is . Culture One of the more problematic cultural aspects of Kpop is perfection. It’s like taking a mold and using it to shape young men and women into what they’re “supposed to look like.” Plastic surgery is acceptable and in most cases, preferable. It’s not an idea exclusive to the music industry; it’s a lesson taught starting in the home. Image is everything. The rich working class lifestyle is a goal that needs to be achieved. The pressures of achieving perfection – working hard, studying endlessly, and deconstruction of the face and body – are an everyday thing But Kpop also highlights everything that is amazing about Korean culture. There’s a term called the Hallyu Wave, which represents all of Korean pop culture: the music, the dramas, the beauty/skincare, the food, the traditional clothing, the importance of family and respect, and the history behind this beautiful country. For fans like me, there is no better feeling in the world than to see these artists live out their lives as happily as they can. I love to feel the music lift me up from the day’s chaos and give me the strength to set one foot in front of the other.
