Platformed creativity
This study proposes the concept of platformed creativity to examine how new technologies have engaged in the social dynamics of creative practices. In recent years, a few Korean female digital creators have become visible by producing and sharing gender-bound football media content on YouTube. Based on a critical discourse analysis involving the channels of four female Korean chuktubers, I found that this user-generated media platform offers thes…
The Production of Locality During the Pandemic
How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the social construction of locality? To examine the impact of the ruptures between physical mobility and digital fluidity on the media representation of locality, I analyzed two cases (the Korea Tourism Organization’s Feel the Rhythm of Korea project and BTS’ media performances for “Dynamite”) produced during the pandemic. Based on a textual analysis of the chosen video projects, I identified three social te…
The Korean Wave and the New Global Media Economy
This chapter aims to bring U.S.–Korean collaborations to the fore of debates over media globalization, and the overarching structural dimensions of transnational media cultures and practices. In particular, this chapter analyzes the factors behind the latest phase of Korean media culture and practice, exploring the theoretical implications of the non-Western actor’s media production and distribution in the globally networked society. It first dis…
Intersectionality in quality feminist television
The first seasons of two female-centric television series—The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu, 2017) and Big Little Lies (HBO, 2017)—mutually tackled the masculinization of quality TV discourse, winning major categories during the awards season. Both originals centralize women’s solidarity against the existing social hierarchy and are manifest in post-network television’s renewed interest in (post)feminism. This study argues that U.S. quality feminist tele…
BTS as method
This study focuses on the BTS sensation, examining how three entities – digital networks, the K-pop industry, and fandom – have engaged in the production of an alternative global culture. Based on a multimodal critical discourse analysis of this rising cultural act, the current study pays attention to the dialectical interaction of digital transformation and cultural subjectivization in the contemporary music ecosystem. By integrating Manuel Cast…
The Locality of Plastic Bodies
This article examines how Korean reality television has endorsed bimaxillary surgery through the deployment of the celebrity body in the early 2010 s. Although the production of a plastic surgery-related reality programme is not a local phenomenon, the media discourse of bimaxillary surgery has disclosed the impetus of locality in the social construction of external beauty and self-transformation. With a critical discourse analysis of bimaxillary…
Korea's blacklist scandal
This essay focuses on the relationship between culture and governance, exploring how the practice of government has invoked conflicts and crises in the Korean culture industries. The Park Geun-Hye regime used culture as a central engine to boost Korea's national economy by adopting the new slogan, ‘Creative Korea’, to embody the country's national values within the international community. However, the regime's constant emphasis on creative econo…
Establishing an Imagined SM Town
Reshaped, reconnected and redefined
This article examines how Korean pop (K-pop) idol fans develop their public image through the construction of participatory culture. K-pop idol fans, mostly teenaged girls, have long-provoked criticism in Korean society due to their fanatic behaviours. In the late 2000s, however, the transnational popularity of K-pop idol groups encouraged the public to reconsider the negative stereotype of K-pop idol fandom. This social atmosphere is indebted to…
