The rise of K-pop cover dancers worldwide reveals how artists creatively adapt and transform this genre to suit local priorities. This ethnographic analysis examines two K-pop cover dancer influencers in Bali to illuminate their curation of authenticities through local events and social media.

The Cambridge Companion to K-Pop
How did Korea with a relatively small-scale music industry come to create a vibrant pop culture scene that would enthrall not only young Asian fans but also global audiences from diverse racial and generational backgrounds? From idol training to fan engagement, from studio recording to mastering choreographic sequences, what are the steps that go into the actual production and promotion of K-pop? And how can we account for K-pop's global presence…
K-pop Dance
This book is about K-pop dance and the evolution and presence of its dance fandom on social media. Based on five years of ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, choreography, and participation-observation with 40 amateur and professional K-pop dancers in New York, California, and Seoul, the book traces the evolution of K-pop dance from the 1980s to the 2020s and explains its distinctive feature called 'gestural point choreography' – front-driven, tw…
White-expat-fans’ performing K-pop Other on YouTube
White Canadian Simon and Martina Stawski’s Eat Your Kimchi vlog complicates the interpretation of YouTube fandom as counter-hegemonic. Combining performance studies and media studies, we suggest “white-expat-fans” to explicate their racialized, spatialized and fannish negotiation and (dis)identification with K-pop. As fans, they identify with K-pop and subordinate themselves to its singers. As expatriates lived in South Korea and fulltime blogger…

Can you dance for me?” the (Im)possibility of speaking trauma in dance ethnography
This article analyzes my six-year autoethnographic work in response to From Silence to Power in Austin, TX from 2013 to 2019. Performed by survivors of sexual abuse, the performance externalized trauma, recognized time via repetition, re-contextualized their minded-bodies and transformed from silenced victims to survivors. Kinesthetic empathy moved me to work through my trauma as a co-performer. I have written performance reviews, given three con…

From Seoul to Copenhagen
This article examines the practice of the Danish K-pop (Korean pop) cover dance crew CODE9 as an example of the rapid cultural exchange on the Internet that reshapes the diffusion of dance styles and ideas. CODE9 demonstrates K-pop as a “migratory dance practice,” forming a transnational dancing community with modern technology at its center. By adapting and embodying K-pop, CODE9 creates a “Thirdspace” in between reality and fantasy, between bei…
The Heroic White Man and the Fragile Asian Girl
Intersecting performance studies and critical sports studies, this article analyzes the North American media coverage of South Korean figure skater and the gold medalist Yuna Kim at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. While North American newspapers and NBC (US) and CTV (Canada) broadcasts acclaim Kim’s athletic achievements onstage, they also infantilize and Orientalize Kim as an exotic, fragile, and dependent Asian girl. Contrarily, the medi…
The One Billion Rising Flash Mob
In One Billion Rising (OBR), a global flash mob protest against sexual violence toward women, the dancing body becomes a political site for advocating freedom and self-defined agency. The flash mob provides a liberating space, allowing marginalized women to make their voices heard through their bodies and to transform their unspeakable trauma into a danceable pleasure for all to experience in a community of mutual support and empathy. This articl…
“Cinderella” in Reverse
Focusing on K-pop male singers’ dance practice videos on YouTube and fans’ comments, Oh provides a lively and insightful analysis on the intersection of female spectatorship and male sexuality. Examining the bodily labor of the male dancers and their harsh working conditions displayed in the videos, Oh explores why female viewers are drawn to these low-budget dance practice videos. Oh highlights the female desire that eroticizes sympathetically t…
Vlogging White Privilege Abroad
Over several years, the YouTube channel Eat Your Kimchi, a White expatriate video log about South Korea, generated a sizeable audience. In the videos, Martina and Simon Stawski draw upon discourses that empower their identities as a privileged group of cultural outsiders—valued and othered for their White difference. To benefit from their global advantage, they essentialize differences between the West/themselves and Korea/ns in order to emphasiz…

Queering spectatorship in K-pop
Employing performance studies and queer studies, this article explores the subversive nature of western female fandom’s consumption of male dancing bodies in Korean pop (K-pop) culture. By offering close readings of fan-made compilation videos and analysing fans’ comments on YouTube, this article analyses how K-pop male idols’ androgynous gender fluidity provides a space for queering female desire against normative white masculinity. Through vide…
The Politics of the Dancing Body
Korean pop (hereinafter K-pop) singers have become viral in East Asia recently as part of the “Korean Wave” or Hallyu. The term “Korean Wave” was coined in China to refer to the popularity of Korean drama in the 1990s and now refers to the regional popularity of Korean products such as drama, film, music, and fashion within Asia and visible in Western countries, including France, Canada, and United States. Currently, K-pop idols lead the global c…
Performing Post-Racial Asianness
Drawing on theories from performance studies, dance studies, and critical race studies, this paper explores the ways in which Korean pop (K-pop)'s appropriation of hip-hop reveals a complex moment of global cultural flow. Western audience reception of K-pop is likely limited to framing K-pop either as a form of contemporary minstrelsy or a postcolonial mimicry, e.g., making fun of African American culture or a bad copy of American pop. This persp…
