The Indiana University Institute for Korean Studies is holding a series of online talks on the subject of The Impact of Korean Popular Culture on North America. It is co-sponsored by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the USA.
The talks will be held through zoom, and are free to attend for anyone, even if you are not a student at the university. To attend one or more of the talks you can register through this link. The talks are "designed for non-specialist, non-academic audiences", so don't be intimidated.
The talks are as follows (all talks start at 8:30pm EST):
Oct 8 - Because It Is Not American: How Cultural Difference Became K-pop's Key to Success Around the World
Oct 22 - BTS and ARMY: A Synergistic Experience in Transcultural Fandom
Nov 5 - Found in Translation: Korean Literature and Film as "World Literature and Cinema"
Nov 19 - K-Drama Fever: Platforms, Serial Narrative, and Global TV
It occurred to me a little late to share this information here, so I'm afraid that the first talk, Because It Is Not American: How Cultural Difference Became K-pop's Key to Success Around the World held by Prof. CedarBough Saeji has already passed. It was a very informative talk with regards to the history of popular music in South Korea, and the characteristics of K-pop and idols. I managed to take a few notes during the talk so if anyone was interested in that talk I can post my notes below.
Hopefully this interests some of you.
