From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a standalone new adult romance set in the competitive world of K-pop. It's not all K-dramas and happily ever afters. Intern with Korea's number one record label? Yes, please. Find out there's a huge scandal I need to help "manage"... not so much.

Every SWT member is gorgeous, perfect, and cultivated to be an idol... lethal to a girl's heart. And sanity. But fame plus a perfect face and voice don't equal an easy life.

And like a character in a K-drama, I'm not sure if there will be an actual happily ever after... Or simply a lesson learned.

Pop Empires
Author: S. Heijin Lee
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824879929
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
At the start of the twenty-first century challenges to the global hegemony of U.S. culture are more apparent than ever. Two of the contenders vying for the hearts, minds, bandwidths, and pocketbooks of the world’s consumers of culture (principally, popular culture) are India and South Korea. “Bollywood” and “Hallyu” are increasingly competing with “Hollywood”—either replacing it or filling a void in places where it never held sway. This critical multidisciplinary anthology places the mediascapes of India (the site of Bollywood), South Korea (fountainhead of Hallyu, aka the Korean Wave), and the United States (the site of Hollywood) in comparative dialogue to explore the transnational flows of technology, capital, and labor. It asks what sorts of political and economic shifts have occurred to make India and South Korea important alternative nodes of techno-cultural production, consumption, and contestation. By adopting comparative perspectives and mobile methodologies and linking popular culture to the industries that produce it as well as the industries it supports, Pop Empires connects films, music, television serials, stardom, and fandom to nation-building, diasporic identity formation, and transnational capital and labor. Additionally, via the juxtaposition of Bollywood and Hallyu, as not only synecdoches of national affiliation but also discursive case studies, the contributors examine how popular culture intersects with race, gender, and empire in relation to the global movement of peoples, goods, and ideas.

Book Description
When Anna Eom isn't reading fantasy novels, she's obsessing over her favorite K-pop group, SUPER. Each boy in the group has a different superpower, but Sungwook stands out from the crowd with his super-speed and super-strength, not to mention his super-hotness. The day that SUPER's latest music video drops, Anna's mom does the worst thing imaginable and cuts the Wi-Fi to make her clean house instead. All because some old family friends are visiting them from Korea. Not only are the almost strangers cutting her time short with her favorite K-pop group, but she knows she's going to be thrown together with a boy she only remembers as a bully. Caleb might be her age, but the last time she saw him ten years ago he stole her precious Disney princess necklace. What's worse is Anna's mom has threatened to clear her bookshelves if she doesn't greet the old friends at the door with a fragile vase as a gift. Anna complies, planning on getting back to her books as soon as she can, but when her parents open the door it's not Caleb standing on the other side, but Sungwook from SUPER. Judging by the way he caught the vase she dropped with lightning speed, his superpowers might not be fiction.

Globalization and Popular Music in South Korea
Author: Michael Fuhr
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317556909
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This book offers an in-depth study of the globalization of contemporary South Korean idol pop music, or K-Pop, visiting K-Pop and its multiple intersections with political, economic, and cultural formations and transformations. It provides detailed insights into the transformative process in and around the field of Korean pop music since the 1990s, which paved the way for the recent international rise of K-Pop and the Korean Wave. Fuhr examines the conditions and effects of transnational flows, asymmetrical power relations, and the role of the imaginary "other" in K-Pop production and consumption, relating them to the specific aesthetic dimensions and material conditions of K-Pop stars, songs, and videos. Further, the book reveals how K-Pop is deployed for strategies of national identity construction in connection with Korean cultural politics, with transnational music production circuits, and with the transnational mobility of immigrant pop idols. The volume argues that K-Pop is a highly productive cultural arena in which South Korea’s globalizing and nationalizing forces and imaginations coincide, intermingle, and counteract with each other and in which the tension between both of these poles is played out musically, visually, and discursively. This book examines a vibrant example of contemporary popular music from the non-Anglophone world and provides deeper insight into the structure of popular music and the dynamics of cultural globalization through a combined set of ethnographic, musicological, and cultural analysis. Widening the regional scope of Western-dominated popular music studies and enhancing new areas of ethnomusicology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this book will also be of interest to those studying East Asian popular culture, music globalization, and popular music.
