Women’s empowerment and transnational consumption of Hallyu in Vietnam

During our interviews, we used the latter term, and in our survey we referred to “Korean cultural products”) (Korean Wave) amongst young Vietnamese women and examine its socio-cultural implications.

The policy of developing the cultural industries was implemented in conjunction with governme…
From censorship to active support: The Korean state and Korea’s cultural industries
This article examines the phenomenal growth of Korean cultural industries and their export to East Asia and other parts of the world. In the early years of industrialisation, culture was used by the authoritarian regime as a form of ideological support. Strict controls were exercised over cultural production and presentation.
