Filipu Krejčímu, Ph.D., za jeho odborné vedení při vypracovávání této diplomové práce. Dále si cením pomoci studentů Katedry asijských studií univerzity Palackého a členů české k-pop komunity, kteří mi pomohli se zpracováním tohoto tématu. Děkuji jim za jejich profesionální přístup, rady a celkovou pomoc s tímto tématem. Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem diplomovou práci vypracovala samostatně s použitím uvedené literatury a dalších informačních zdrojů. V Olomouci dne Podpis Anotace Práce se zabývá hudebním žánrem k-pop, historií jeho vzniku, umělci, jejich rozvojem, a celkovým vlivem žánru na společnost. Snaží se přiblížit tento styl, který obsahuje řadu hudebních, tanečních a kulturních směrů, široké veřejnosti. Mimo samotnou podobu a historii k-popu se práce věnuje i temným stránkám tohoto fenoménu. V závislosti na dostupnosti literárních a internetových zdrojů zpracovává historii žánru od jeho vzniku až do roku 2020, spolu s tvorbou a úspěchy jihokorejských umělců. Součástí práce je i zpracování dvou dotazníků. Jeden zpracovává názor české veřejnosti na k-pop, druhý byl mířený na českou k-pop komunitu a její myšlenky ohledně tohoto žánru. Abstract This master´s thesis is describing music genre k-pop, its history, artists and their own evolution, and impact of the genre on society. It is also trying to introduce this genre, full of diverse music, dance and culture movements, to the public.

  • 1 the Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction
    The Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction: Reclaiming “Real Person” Fanfiction as K-Pop Industry Practice Sooyun (Clara) Hong East Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts McGill University, Montreal June 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts ©Sooyun Hong, 2020 1 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Abrégé 4 Acknowledgements 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1 – What’s in a (Stage) Name? Public Personas, Private Selves, and the Transgression of Authenticity 33 Chapter 2 – “Characterizing” K-Pop Idols: Alternate Universe Fanfiction and the K-Pop Concept 56 Chapter 3 – Believing in the Unusual: Slash Fanfiction and Homoerotic Fan Service 75 Conclusion 94 Works Cited 99 2 Abstract RPF, or “real person fiction,” is a genre of fanfiction that writes about real people rather than fictional characters. Over the past decade, the number of RPF works written about K-pop idols has steadily increased, but RPF remains a controversial practice even within fanfiction communities. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the influence of fictional media practices such as fanfiction in the construction of the celebrity text. This thesis compares three practices found in K-pop RPF to three practices found in the K-pop industry in order to argue that K-pop fanfiction writers and the K-pop industry perform similar practices in pursuit of broader fan desires. Ultimately, the K-pop idol embodies a new model of celebrity that consciously moves between the “public” and the “private” in order to generate affective value. This movement is grounded in images of the idol’s physical body and given meaning through the idol group’s network of interpersonal relationships.

In addition, two service members were wounded in the attack, which occurred in the southern province of Kandahar, a NATO Resolute Support spokesman said. The names of the slain service members were being withheld until 24 hours after the notification of next of kin in accor- dance with Defense Department policy, the statement said.

  • SM Entertainment (041510 KQ ) Two Key Challenges in 2020
    SM Entertainment (041510 KQ ) Two key challenges in 2020 Entertainment 3Q19 preview: OP of W16.1bn Company Report For 3Q19, we project SM Entertainment to record consolidated revenue of W184.9bn (+9.6% YoY) and operating profit of W16.1bn (+32.3% YoY). We believe core business es October 14, 2019 were supported by robust artist activities, domestically and overseas . Absent any special expense items at subsidiaries, we expect operating profit to handily beat the consensus (W14.5bn). We estimate album sales totaled 1.45mn copies in 3Q19. We believe t he group EXO (Maintain) Buy filled the void left by the military enlistment of some of its members in 2Q19 with the release of a unit album (Sehun/Chanyeol) and a solo album (Baekhyun), which collectively sold more than 960,000 copies in 3Q19. NCT DREAM’s latest mini-album Target Price (12M, W) ▼ 43,000 also sold 350,000 copies in 3Q19 alone (vs. 220,000 copies for the previous mini-album in 2018). Share Price (10/11/19, W) 34,450 We estimate a total of 330,000 Japanese concert attendees were recognized in 3Q19 . This likely included three shows of SMTOWN’s dome tour, nine shows of Taemin’s Expected Return 25% arena tour, and five shows of EXO’s arena tour. Outside of Japan, w e believe concert (90,000 attendees for EXO and 60,000 attendees for H.O.T. in Korea) and management/agency earnings slightly decreased QoQ. OP (19F, Wbn) 39 Subsidiary improvement and new artist debuts will be key challenges in 2020 Consensus OP (19F, Wbn) 38 Core business variables look more favorable in 2H19 (OP forecast at W32.7bn) than in EPS Growth (19F, %) -45.3 1H19 (OP of W6.7bn).
