Pages : 294
Book Description
Bangtan Remixed delves into the cultural impact of celebrated K-Pop boy band BTS, exploring their history, aesthetics, fan culture, and capitalist moment. The collection’s contributors—who include artists, scholars, journalists, activists, and fans—approach BTS through inventive and wide-ranging transnational perspectives. From tracing BTS’s hip hop genealogy to analyzing how the band’s mid-2020 album reflects the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrating how Baroque art history influences BTS’s music videos, the contributors investigate BTS’s aesthetic heritage. They also explore the political and technological dimensions of BTS’s popularity with essays on K-Pop and BTS’s fan culture as frontiers of digital technology, the complex relationship between BTS and Blackness, the impact of anti-Asian racism on BTS’s fandom, and the challenges BTS poses to conservative norms of gender and sexuality. Bangtan Remixed shows how one band can inspire millions of fans and provide a broad range of insights into contemporary social and political life. Contributors.

Book Description
An old saying says that a patient will become a good doctor after a long illness. This book tells the true story how an asthmatic with a 20-year history and severe symptom finally freed himself by using Sensitivity-Stability (S-S) therapy created by himself. By recording his condition for 9 years, he discovered a decisive impetus for the asthma attacks. By wearing a special respirator for 72 days, he ascertained the impetus was not inhaling allergens, but allergic constitution. Asthma is caused by increased sensitivity-hormone secretions and decreased stability-hormone (corticoid) secretions. Asthma patients can completely return to normal life by taking a compensatory dosage of corticoid to a correct ratio of sensitivity-hormone value to stability-hormone value. So long as the dosage is sufficiently close to the deficiency of the natural corticoid secretion and is regulated chronobiologically, the symptom will disappear without side effects. The theoretical basis of the therapy is his S-S hyothesis in which a two-dimensional S-S system regulating immune condition was built up. The hypothesis can not only explain the mechanism of asthma but can also explain the negative correlation between allergy and cancer. This book gives an entire set of therapeutic techniques tried on author's body for more than 30 years. In the third year of the therapy he returned to normal life and in the 14th year he broke the record of jogging 13 km in 98 minutes. In his 30th year, he saw the first light of dawn, a natural recovery.
