A newly coined phrase - Korean wave - which refers to the popularity of Korean media culture across East and Southeast Asia, is a metaphor for thinking about this recent regional media development. Through an examination of the recent big leap of the Korean media industries, this article argues that the US…

This paper examines the changes in the Korean media industry with reference to the Korean economic crisis in the 1990s as Korean big business, or chaebol, previously unconcerned with the media industry, expanded into that sector.Given the conventional close relationship between the state and big business in Korean economic development, this new business strategy had implications for state policy
From Yellow Peril through Model Minority to Renewed Yellow Peril
This study is a historical analysis of Asian American portrayals in entertainment media and a contextualization of their meaning in society. The general nature of Asian stereotypes and the racial formation projected in those stereotypes are examined. With knowledge of this history, the recent renewed propensity to depict Asians as “illegalists” will be understood more clearly
