Abstract:
The new Korean Wave, referring to the rapid growth of local popular culture and its global penetration, starting in the late 2000s appears to be more intensive in its popularity. The new Korean Wave means the circulation of local popular culture, not only television programs and films but also K-pop and digital games, as well as animation, with the help of social media. The social media-driven new Korean Wave has aptly adjusted to global fans’ tastes in both production and consumption as Korean cultural producers have timely developed their popular culture reflecting the era of social media. In this presentation, I explore the ways in which the Hallyu phenomenon is integrated into a social media-embedded cultural landscape in the global cultural markets. I discuss the recent developments characterizing the Korean Wave in tandem with the cultural industries in the age of social media. I explain the increasing role of social media and changing media consumption habits among global youth. I finally map out why social media has contributed to the enhanced popularity of the transnational media culture produced in a non-Western region
