    SM Entertainment (041510 KQ ) Two expectations Entertainment Watch for new artist growth and enhanced shareholder returns; Maintain Buy and TP of W59,000 Company Report SM Entertainment’s stock has struggled since the start of 2019, weighed by May 30, 2019 disappointing 1Q19 earnings, industry-specific risks, and limited visibility on 2019 profit growth. However, we see two tailwinds materializing moving forward. First, we expect the company to see greater artist effects on the back of the growth of new groups . Both NCT and WayV are set to release new albums , building upon their increasing popularity. NCT expanded its global fan base by launching its first world tour just 30 (Maintain) Buy months after its debut, while WayV’s first mini album Take Off has topped the charts . WayV is growing rapidly in China, in terms of both music activities (album/digital Target Price (12M, W) 59,000 music/concerts) and management (ads/broadcasting). Second, we expect talks of shareholder returns to take shape . Several major Share Price (05/29/19, W) 37,650 institutional investors have disclosed stake acquisitions in SM Entertainment this year. Altogether, we believe these institutions hold a roughly 20% stake in the company. Due Expected Return to the continued decline in its share price, the company’s long-term issues (cost 57% savings through the internationalization of outsourced services , shareholder returns through dividend distribution, etc.) have come into focus more frequently and more intensely. Given recent changes in the ownership structure and expectations of strong OP (19F, Wbn) 49 profit improvement (+30% YoY), we think the debate about management efficiency and Consensus OP (19F, Wbn) 54 shareholder returns is more relevant than ever.

  • Conceptually Androgynous
    Umeå Center for Gender Studies Conceptually androgynous The production and commodification of gender in Korean pop music Petter Almqvist-Ingersoll Master Thesis in Gender Studies Spring 2019 Thesis supervisor: Johanna Overud, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Stemming from a recent surge in articles related to Korean masculinities, and based in a feminist and queer Marxist theoretical framework, this paper asks how gender, with a specific focus on what is referred to as soft masculinity, is constructed through K-pop performances, as well as what power structures are in play. By reading studies on pan-Asian masculinities and gender performativity - taking into account such factors as talnori and kkonminam, and investigating conceptual terms flower boy, aegyo, and girl crush - it forms a baseline for a qualitative research project. By conducting qualitative interviews with Swedish K-pop fans and performing semiotic analysis of K-pop music videos, the thesis finds that although K-pop masculinities are perceived as feminine to a foreign audience, they are still heavily rooted in a heteronormative framework. Furthermore, in investigating the production of gender performativity in K-pop, it finds that neoliberal commercialism holds an assertive grip over these productions and are thus able to dictate ‘conceptualizations’ of gender and project identities that are specifically tailored to attract certain audiences. Lastly, the study shows that these practices are sold under an umbrella of ‘loyalty’ in which fans are incentivized to consume in order to show support for their idols – in which the concept of desire plays a significant role. Keywords: Gender, masculinity, commercialism, queer, Marxism Contents Acknowledgments ................................................................................................................................... 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................................

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.

  • Komodifikasi Budaya Melalui Pariwisata Di Korea Selatan Dalam
    IR - PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA IR – PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Penelitian ini berfokus pada bagaimana sebuah tayangan reality show NCT Life yang dibintangi oleh grup idola asal Korea Selatan (K-Pop), NCT atau Neo Culture Technology menampilkan bentuk komodifikasi budaya Korea Selatan yang ada dalam pariwisata. Sebelum membahas tentang komodifikasi budaya, terdapat istilah terdahulu yang membahas awal dari komodifikasi, yakni tentang komoditas. ‘Komoditas’ yang dimaksud adalah sebuah potensi sosial yang dapat dibedakan dari “produk”, “objek”, “barang”, “artefak”, dan barang lain, tetapi hanya dalam hal atau sudut pandang tertentu (Appadurai, 1986). Dalam sudut pandang ekonomi, komoditas adalah hal yang diproduksi, ada, dan bisa dilihat melalui sistem ekonomi sebagai pertukaran untuk hal lainnya, biasanya ditukarkan untuk uang. Dalam sudut pandang budaya, produksi dari komoditas merupakan budaya dan proses kognisi, komoditas harus tidak hanya diproduksi secara material sebagai ‘barang’ tertentu, tetapi juga ditandai secara budaya sebagai jenis hal tertentu. Komoditas bisa diasumsikan sebagai fenomena budaya yang universal. Keberadaan mereka bersamaan dengan keberadaan transaksi yang melibatkan pertukaran hal tertentu (objek dan layanan), pertukaran yang sebagai fitur universal dari kehidupan sosial (Kopytoff, 1986). Sebuah objek menjadi komoditas ketika mereka bisa ditukarkan dengan nilai yang lebih tinggi dari nilai penggunaan, dan dapat ditukarkan, serta bisa direalisasikan dalam jumlah (Cloke dan Perkins, 2002). Komoditas bisa melibatkan hal-hal lain yang sebelumnya tidak untuk diperjual belikan, termasuk budaya. Semakin banyaknya budaya yang coba dijadikan komoditas, muncul sebuah istilah bernama komodifikasi budaya. Secara bahasa, komodifikasi berarti perubahan fungsi suatu benda, jasa, atau entitas yang lain yang umumnya tidak dipandang sebagai produk komersial. Menurut Barker (2005), komodifikasi berasal dari dua akar kata, ‘komoditas’ dan ‘modifikasi’.
