This collection breaks down the stereotypes often expected of Korean popular culture, specifically examining issues of gender, sexuality, and stereotype in a variety of cultural products including K-pop, K-drama, and cover dancing through the lens of how "Koreanness" can be defined. A diverse range of of contributors showcase how Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, began as a wave rolling across Asia and morphed into a tsunami that has impacted every continent, making Korean popular culture an industry that draws in fans on a global scale. The stereotypes and issues being explored in this collection, contributors argue, are intertwined with how Koreans both at home and in the diaspora portray themselves publicly and consider themselves privately. In tandem with this, international fans of Hallyu take part in the conversation through performance and imitation, either reinforcing or breaking away from these stereotypes. Contributors examine a wide variety of settings to connect the concepts of traditional Korean values to modern Korean society in a symbiotic relationship between these values and cultural content creators. Scholars of media studies, pop culture, gender studies, Asian studies, sociology, and cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.

Marcy L. Tanter is an active teacher-scholar and international education advisor for the May 18 Memorial Foundation in Gwangju, South Korea. Moises Park is assistant professor in the Modern Languages and Cultures department at Baylor University.

This book sheds light on the diverse aspects of the Korean wave and Korean media content, including K-dramas and K-pop. Through thought-provoking collaboration, this book is very comprehensive and clearly demonstrates how Korean media studies offer analytical and theoretical lenses through which audiences can interpret popular media forms and contents. The book will be of great interest to scholars and general readers interested in Korean studies, popular culture, and media studies. They will find much to stimulate their thinking in this book. -- Changhee Chun, University of Texas Arlington
