Beskrivning
Converging theory and practice, this book provides a unique analysis of Korean youth’s attempts to become global celebrities within the growing K-pop phenomenon, which is rapidly becoming part of global media systems and culture. K-pop has become one of the most popular cultural forms in the global music markets, despite having a relatively new global presence. Its recent spread around the world suggests that K-pop exists as a local-based genre of music in global markets, including Western markets.Unlike other existing books on K-pop, which mainly focus solely on academic analyses or industrial perspectives, K-Pop Idols: Popular Culture and the Emergence of Korean Music Industry combines theory with industry and musical aesthetics. Following the idol group Nine Muses through a year-long chronicle, the authors portray the everyday lives of young girls relentlessly pursuing happiness, satisfaction, and the achievement of their dreams in the K-pop world.

Recensioner i media

This book’s close observation and analysis of the inside of K-pop industry and its idol system offer insightful understanding of how the K-pop industry operates and K-pop idols engage with the factory-like star system. This engaging book, which presents a gripping story and examination of the underside of K-pop, is not only a timely addition to the growing number of studies on K-pop, but also an invaluable contribution to the studies of popular culture, music industries, celebrities, and cultural globalization. The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in popular music industries and celebrity culture in general and the recent K-pop phenomenon in particular.
