Emerging Social Distribution
Music industry revenues from digital music sales in 2012 were estimated at $5.6 billion, up from an estimated 9 percent in 2011, and accounting for 34 percent of total industry revenues (IFPI 2013). Digital music consumption has become an integral part of the global music industry since the birth of MP3 players and computer programs like iTunes in the early 2000s, and has been accelerated by the rise of social network services such as Myspace (20…
Youth, Social Media and Transnational Cultural Distribution
Since the late 1990s, Korean popular culture has circulated broadly across the Asian region and to a lesser degree the global cultural market via a phenomenon commonly known as the Korean Wave or Hallyu (Chua & Iwabuchi, 2008). Popular television drama series like Winter Sonata (2002), Dae Jang Geum (2003–2004), Full House (2004) and Boys over Flower (2009) have met with great success in many Asian countries including Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong …
Social media and cross-border cultural transmissions in Asia
Ambivalent cosmopolitan desires
This article examines the ways in which the online community media practices of newly arrived Koreans (mainly international students and working holiday visa holders) demonstrate ambivalent cosmopolitan desires. Focusing on user comments on the Melbourne Sky community website, this article explores how these ambivalent transcultural desires combine a yearning for home with the striving for cosmopolitanism. Driven by a globalization-fuelled obsess…
Social distribution
Global consumers are increasingly enjoying popular cultural products such as music, film, television and other audiovisual media content through online social media community networks. Recently, Korean pop music, or K-pop, has become one of the most dynamically distributed forms of pop culture in the global pop market through these ‘social distribution’ networks. This article explores the ways that this new mode of social distribution is characte…
Mega Screens for Mega Cities
This article considers how networked large urban screens can act as a platform for the creation of an experimental transnational public sphere. It takes as a case study a specific Australia-Korea cultural event that linked large screens in Federation Square, Melbourne, and Tomorrow City, Incheon, 1 through the presentation of SMS-based interactive media art works. The article combines theoretical analyses of global citizenship, mobility, digital …
Fan activism, cybervigilantism, and Othering mechanisms in K-pop fandom
Korean popular music (K-pop) fandom may serve as a case study to identify both cynical and utopian views of fans' participatory Net activism by addressing three key aspects: fan activism, cybervigilantism, and Othering mechanisms. Fancom (fan company) in the K-pop scene refers to the way fans systematically manage their own stars. These notions of assertive fancom practices address how fans actively participate in sociocultural events such as fun…
Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption
South Korean masculinities have enjoyed dramatically greater influence in recent years in many realms of pan-Asian popular culture, which travels freely in part because of its hybrid trans-nationalistic appeal. This book investigates transcultural consumption of three iconic figures — the middle-aged Japanese female fandom of actor Bae Yong-Joon, the Western online cult fandom of the thriller film Oldboy, and the Singaporean fandom of the pop-sta…
Korean Youth Netizenship and its Discontents
South Korea frequently is regarded as standing at the vanguard of the digital revolution, and its status as perhaps the world's most wired society makes it a fruitful case study for considering how digital culture may develop. South Korea's reputation rests in part on statistics that place it at the global forefront in terms of broadband penetration and internet speed – that is, its infrastructural ‘hardware’ – but it is equally in the cultural e…
K-pop, Indonesian fandom, and social media
Around the world, pop consumers are increasingly accessing popular products through social media. Online fan groups of Korean popular music (K-pop) in Asia have dynamically and transculturally circulated their product through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. In October 2010, Super Junior, a K-pop idol boy band, was ranked as the number one worldwide trending topic on Twitter—ranking even higher than a sensational news story about trappe…

Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption
This book investigates the transcultural consumption of hybrid South Korean masculinities in contemporary South Korean popular culture.
