The global expansion of the Korean popular culture fandom is mainly due to the advancement of streaming services and mobile media usage from the media ecology point of view. Yet\, the niche fandom of Korean popular culture was predated long before K-pop and Netflix K-drama started drawing global fandom. This presentation deals with ‘transcultural contact zones’ which Korean Waves have created in the US context. The project examines the racial dynamics of Korean popular culture fan communities and explores the (im)possibilities of constructing pan-racial fan communities. Comparing the global popularity of K-pop and the expansion of Korean popular culture consumption\, research on reception and audiences are rare\, particularly on the reception of Korean pop culture consumption in the United States. This talk will present some preliminary findings of the current research\, including a brief history of Korean Waves in the US. \nSpeaker’s Bio: Young A. Jung is an assistant professor of the Korean Studies Program\, Department of Modern and Classical Languages at George Mason University. Her research is at the crossroads of migration studies\, sense of place studies\, media studies\, and gender studies. She also has a thorough grounding in the history of modern Korean and Korean diasporic literature and popular culture. One of her recent essays\, “Squid Games\, Transcultural Fan Parodies: Black and Queer Adaptations\,” appeared in \, Post45 Contemporaries. Her current research project\, “Division and Connections: Korean Popular Culture Fans’ Racial Dynamics\,” examines the racial dynamics of Korean popular culture fan communities in the United States. She is currently completing the book titled Emplacing Mothering: An Ethnography of Placemaking and Belonging among Korean Kirogi Families. \nThis event is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \nRegistration: To attend this event in-person\, please register HERE. **Please note that non-CUID holders need to show proof of their primary series and one booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines. \n URL:https://ealac.columbia.edu/event/k-waves-hallyu-in-the-u-s/ LOCATION:330 Uris Hall ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ealac.columbia.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4.26.23-K-Waves-e1682094673377.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
