To sum up, even though the popularity might not decrease in the region because of politics, an order can cut the revenue from China like mentioned in the class. A soft power like K-POP is hard to measure in international relations. Mostly, hard power influences everything else, not the other

Unless Korea’s industry model entirely changes, we will have to be dependent on China. At the same time, Korea can’t ignore America’s policy toward China. As seen in the THAAD conflict, if the Korean government fails to find a middle ground, it is inevitable for the K-POP industry to suffer.

could be complicated and very different in the near future. It has already been complex and ugly because of all the THAAD and Korean Limitation Order that followed. Korea is heavily dependent on China in terms of economy and politics, as they are one of the largest to import from and export to.

background, the U.S. is strongly pushing trilateral cooperation in this East Asia region. Even though we have multiple issues about history and territory, the alliance ties us very strongly, and it will not change unless we both decide to be out of this circle. In the case of China, however, things

sexiness. Ironically, I think this had made K-POP less poppy in domestic market. They still have the popularity among youth, teens to early 30s, however, the nation-wide, phenomenonal idol singer’s hit song is really rare compared to early 2000s.

They got freedom to experiment in styles of femininity which might not exactly align to Korean men’s taste as it can fit into the global fan’s instead. In a nutshell, alternative music market for female artists has allowed more room for artistic element in their music instead of straightforward

and ‘Short Skirts’ by AOA, or with the innocence of young girl, represented by IU, who solidified this term ‘Samchon fan’ by her phenomenonal ‘좋은 날’ release. In 2020s, however, the girl group’s target audience has changed a bit, more toward ‘core fans’ rather than genral Korean male audience.

fandom to flourish in that system. So the strategy they took was to catch public’s attetion and make a ‘hit song’ and gain nation-wide popularity instead. At the time most of the girl groups targeted the general audience either with sexy dance movements such as ‘Abracadabra’ by Brown Eyed Girls

so casually, but when the male celebrities, on the other hand, say something so outdated and mysogynistic, surprisingly nobody cares. It's not only the K-POP's problem but this society's, however, it's enough to make me feel very uncomfortable and rethink about my choice once in a every while.

on the newspaper revealing a complete different self from they have showned. Plus, the gender gap in K-POP industry is so clear that it makes hard for me to support them wholeheartedly. Not just the case Irene got attacked for reading that book but lots of female artists get attacks from everywhere

them to be perfect idols. Part of this distrust came from the long crime history boygroups have made in the society section of the paper, not in the entertainment one. Many fans would agree that the idols don't show their real self(who would actually but), sometimes ending up make an appearance

not to go around those. However, ocassionally I get those uncomfortable feelings from their behavior or a word they spoke, I try not to read into it, although my brain immediately does. And that disappoints me in them because now I know they are just ordinary men in their 20s. So I no longer imagine

not aligned to the social norm and it provoked them an urge to categorize BTS into something else and in a way to isolate from the normalcy.

PSY and BTS is still a little different. PSY was not considered as a threat because clearly he was not popular because he looked good or attractive. On the other hand, BTS and other boy groups are attractive to the female audience and that made the people define them as something, because it was

idols are accepted by female audience, however, now this "soft masculinity" could be joined in the line of various type of masculinity and diversify the definition of hetero sexual manness in the western perspective.

standards, I think the term is even accepted by the fans who think their idols are "sexy". So the discussion over "soft masculinity" can be seen as a way to embrace a different type of masculinity amongst fans. So initially, it was made by the one who were threathened, seeing female-looking male
