Over recent decades South Korea’s vibrant and distinctive
populist culture has spread extensively throughout the world. This
book explores how this "Korean wave" has also made an impact in
North Korea. The book reveals that although South Korean media have
to be consumed underground and unofficially in North Korea, they
are widely watched and listened to. The book examines the ways in
which this is leading to popular yearning in North Korea for
migration, defecting to the South or for people to just become more
like South Koreans. Overall, the book demonstrates that the soft
power of the Korean wave is having an undermining impact on the
hard, constraining cultural climate of North Korea.
