Over the past decade, Korean popular culture has become a global
phenomenon. The "Korean Wave" of music, film, television, sports,
and cuisine generates significant revenues and cultural pride in
South Korea. The Korean Popular Culture Reader provides a timely
and essential foundation for the study of "K-pop," relating the
contemporary cultural landscape to its historical roots. The essays
in this collection reveal the intimate connections of Korean
popular culture, or hallyu, to the peninsula's colonial and
postcolonial histories, to the nationalist projects of the military
dictatorship, and to the neoliberalism of twenty-first-century
South Korea. Combining translations of seminal essays by Korean
scholars on topics ranging from sports to colonial-era serial
fiction with new work by scholars based in fields including
literary studies, film and media studies, ethnomusicology, and art
history, this collection expertly navigates the social and
political dynamics that have shaped Korean cultural production over
the past century. Contributors. Jung-hwan Cheon, Michelle Cho,
