They will be able to situate K-pop within the broader context of Hallyu and transnational cultural flows, while analysing how it is produced, circulated, and received across diverse contexts. Students will also evaluate competing definitions and historical trajectories of K-pop and engage critically with key concepts such as hybridity, imitation, and cultural exchange. In addition, they will examine the role of fandom, digital platforms, and global networks in shaping K-pop’s worldwide dissemination. The course further enables students to assess the institutional and regulatory frameworks that structure the industry, including government policy, corporate actors, and copyright regimes, and to reflect on labour conditions, artist experiences, and future developments within the field.","fi":"By the end of the course, students will have developed a critical understanding of K-pop as both a cultural form and a global industry.
