{"title":"Popular Culture and Nation-Building: A Consideration of the Rise of Korean Wave","authors":"A. G. Lee","doi":"10.32860/26356619/2018/1.1234.0002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32860/26356619/2018/1.1234.0002","url":null,"abstract":"In South Korea, popular culture serves as a form of modernity and has developed separately from (or in a dialectical relationship to) the state-culture, which was shaped by military dictatorship during postwar economic development. The military regime impacted the field of popular culture through the late 1980s with direct censorship in full swing. At the beginning of the 1990s, however, the ways in which the authoritarian government directly controlled trends in popular culture were no longer possible. Instead, the public committee, although still under the influence of governmental authority, came to be responsible for inspecting cultural products. The gradual marketization of popular culture has seen the rise of the Korean Wave, a global phenomenon that refers to the increasing popularity of Korean culture since the 1990s. In this way, popular culture in South Korea may be considered a field in which the government attempted to suppress the collective desires of ordinary people to further a political agenda. However, the attempt to mobilize the will of the people was not successful, and ironically, precipitated a democratic culture that has paved the way toward consumerism. We recognize the ambiguous contribution of popular culture to democratization in the contemporary history of South Korea—particularly the unevenness of popular culture in the postwar world system, which has brought about the rise of the Korean Wave. The uneven development of the culture industry allowed the Korean entertainment business to gain “primitive accumulation” by taking advantage of geographical differences between cultural importing countries and cultural exporting countries. My argument contends that popular culture in Korea is not only the effect of modernization, but also an affirmative response to capitalism. The culture industry produces cultural commodities, the reception and consumption of which are not merely passive on the part of audiences worldwide.

The research reported here began from an intention to move beyond fandom, encouraged by a challenge to demonstrate that members of the British Thai community, aware of their heritage in Southeast Asia but growing up in the eclectic cultural mix of contemporary Britain, were interested in K-pop. We respond to academic literature on popular culture, on specialized music and dance training, and on the musical tastes of diasporic groups, by working with teenagers and students who study and perform Thai classical music and dance in two organizations, the Thai Music Circle in the UK and the Thai Dance Academy. We present the results of a survey, and contextualize our findings by exploring recent Thai literature and television programs about Korean Wave and K-pop.

{"title":"Japanese Webtoon: Marketing Manga Online Using South Korean Platform Designs","authors":"I. Oh, Bon-kwan Koo","doi":"10.32860/26356619/2018/1.1234.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32860/26356619/2018/1.1234.0005","url":null,"abstract":"WebToon is a new digital means of distributing commercial cartoon content to online communities all over the world. Webtoon was first developed and commercialized by South Korean portal service providers, such as Daum and Naver, the two juggernauts that have miraculously expanded their online manga market in South Korea to $900 million by 2018. What’s interesting is that these Korean portal goliaths are penetrating the Japanese manga market. The export of Korean webtoon platforms to Japan, including Line Manga, XOY, Comico, and Piccoma, is a newfangled development in the paperbased Japanese manga market that is gradually preparing to be more transnational than ever due to the smart phone revolution in the 2010s. For example, a Japanese spin off company from Naver, Comico, has demonstrated pivotal success by publishing several Japanese WebToon works that are being exported back to Korea or other countries. Based on the two case studies of ReLife and Lookism, two of the most popular WebToon titles in Japan from Comico and XOY, respectively, we examine the competitive advantage of the WebToon platform in the Japanese manga market, explain a new rise of Comico in the global WebToon market, and evaluate WebToon’s cultural value in the Japanese manga market via intermediality (or media mix). We find that the transnational consumption of Japanese WebToon is increasingly salient all over the world, as Japanese WebToon originals adopt effective storytelling strategies. Simultaneously, the cultural value of the Japanese WebToon has also sharply increased due to intermediality.
