K-pop. Os reflexos do hibridismo cultural na identidade e na música popular coreana

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze how K-pop, (sub) musical genre born in South Korea, is able to portray reflexes of cultural hybridism in pop music and in South Korean identity. To this end, a survey of facts and historical data was carried out to demonstrate the cultural identity suppression suffered by the Korean people over the centuries, until its consolidation as an independent nation. Then, from the post-war context, an analysis is made of the North American influence on the country's trajectory in music and in the construction of its pop culture. Finally, the role of all these interferences in the solidification of the South Korean identity is investigated, as well as the role of globalization in the establishment of the K-popper subculture and the new position of the peninsular country in the world
