Ever since Seo Taiji and Boys broke onto the scene in their baggy overalls back in 1992, Korea has been working to cast as wide a cultural net as possible on the world stage. And, by placing young talent through rigorous game show incubators and pumping out dozens of attractive, talented, and universally appealing musical artists, they succeeded. With the meteoric rise of groups like BTS and Blackpink, K-Pop now had a hoard of die-hard fans in the West - a cross-cultural exchange to challenge Beatlemania. In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia talk about K-Pop stans, who have become some of the loudest voices on the internet, and often use those voices for good. But when the conservative K-Pop industry subjects its artists to unprecedented levels of public scrutiny and input, and leaves them at the whims of a rabid global audience, can it spawn a new, dangerous form of parasocialism that we may never come back from? Tangents include an incredibly sophisticated T-Pain impression, and the tragically overlooked Lonely Island cinematic masterpiece, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. FULL episode can be found on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/rehashpodcast

We didn't know that much about K-Pop going into this episode of Debut Buddies, but damn if we didn't luck out to have K-Pop lover and expert Julia Clausen on as our guest! Julia (Book Club with Julia and Victoria) gives us a temporal rundown of K-Pop's origins (Seo Taiji and Boys), it's political and social ramifications for South Korea's youth (and society as a whole), and a thoughtful survey of the generations of K-Pop that have emerged since 1992.

Un lieu ne suffisait pas pour raconter l'émergence du hip-hop en Corée du Sud, alors plutôt que de trancher et de raconter une histoire incomplète, la Traque pointe ses baskets dans deux directions. La première, c'est le Moon Night, un club du quartier d'Itaewon à Séoul où se retrouvaient des soldats afro-américains en garnison pour danser sur du funk, du hip-hop et du new jack swing. Ce son, et les moves qui y sont associés, vont se propager comme une tache d'encre dans la bande-son de Corée du Sud, et réapparaître dans les clips et les shows de KPOP via le groupe Seo Taiji and The Boys. Dans l'underground, c'est au Master Plan que l'on se regroupe, une salle qui se transformait les weekends en point de rencontre des communautés hip-hop formées d'abord sur internet. Initié en 1997, le Master Plan devient un centre de formation incontournable dans le rap sud-coréen, facilite les connexions nationales et internationales et voit passer celles et ceux qui démocratiseront le rap à l'échelle du pays dans les décennies suivantes.

K-Pop was born with the formation of the group Seo Taiji and Boys and their experimental sound that mixed in hip-hop, coupled with dancing on stage. Their debut song “Nan Arayo” ("I Know") premiered on a talent show on April 11, 1992 which is why we consider this date the birth of K-Pop. Today's episode is going to be both fun and maybe a bit controversial, because we're going to share each generation's THE song! We want to thank some collaborators whom we reached out to for help to make this episode come to life. Since we wanted to cover each generation of K-Pop but we ourselves have only been around for about 3 years, we had to reach out to the experts: For Gen 1: Shannon and Angélica over at Ask Me About K-Pop  For Gen 2: Chris and Chan over at CCTV Pops  For Gen 3: Official K-Pop Highway Radio  Thank you all for your contributions!

In the summer of 2012, South Korean rapper Psy released the song Gangnam Style and became a viral worldwide sensation. In the decade since, Korean culture has exploded - including cinema, drama, music, and fashion. So what drove the Korean wave? And what has it done for South Korea's standing abroad?'Hallyu!

It's absolutely crazy that KPop, the phenomenon that has taken the world by storm in recent years is officially turning 30 years old today! On April 11 1992, Seo Taiji and Boys debuted their single "Nan Arayo" on a music show, and the rest is history. Now we're on the 4th generation of idol groups and things are going more and more global with each passing day. This episode has everything: - A little bit of history - A little bit of current tea - A little bit of fun game time - A little bit of vulnerability and sappiness And we gave you all of this in one place because this is actually the end of our first season of the podcast, so we're hoping this will carry you over until we return with season 2 :) It has been so fun to record episodes and talk at length about all our faves, and we're ready to take things to the ::cue Aespa:: next level. We're not going anywhere though, you'll still find us on our social media channels interacting with all of you as always, while working hard behind the scenes to bring back an even better show you can continue enjoying!

Music critic Kim Young-dae's interesting take on music and culture. - Today's Topic: After 30 years since 1992, Seo Taiji is often referred as “President of culture” in South Korea today. We are going to talk about Seo Taiji's influence into K-pop.

In this week's very special episode, the guys are joined by the K-Pop Sunbaes of The K-Pop Sundae Podcast. Whereas Jack, Kevin, and Ryan know little to none about K-Pop in general, the Sunbaes know a heck of a lot! And they were gracious enough to give the guys a crash course. We did a deep dive into first gen K-Pop, learning about H.O.T. and Seo Taiji and Boys. We also asked the three Sunbaes how they got into K-Pop in the first place. If you're K-Pop curious or just want to dip your toes into the shallow end of the K-Pop swimming pool, this is the perfect podcast for you. It's a great chat packed with loads of interesting facts, and a few laughs too! Kevin's Correction: Seoul Stache: Why is everyone sitting on the floor? I (incorrectly) came to the conclusion during the episode that ‘ondol' (온돌) meant ‘hot stone' heating. I was correct with ‘on' (온/溫) meaning ‘hot', but I forgot that ‘dol' (돌), while meaning ‘stone', is native Korean, while the ‘stone', 'on'(온/突) is Hanja meaning either ‘sudden' or ‘protruding', likely depending on context (and I'm far from a Hanja expert so really don't know). Either way, I was incorrect in my initial assumption.Intro/Outro Music: Eaters, song Tuck's Love Party (eatersmusic2000) https://freemusicarchive.org/music/eaters/an-evening-with-tuck-pendleton/tucks-love-partyhttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/eaters/wives/i-an-not-edibleEmail: podcast@theseoulpatch.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theseoulpatchpodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/patch_seoulFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theseoulpatchWebsite: http://theseoulpatch.com

Seo Taiji, H.O.T, BTS, Blackpink... Bu isimlere hiç aşina değilseniz K-Pop'un akıllara durgunluk veren dünyasına yolunuz düşmemiş demektir. Kore'nin darbelerle dolu tarihinden, ülkedeki Amerikan etkisinden girdik, Kore Popu'nun yıldız sisteminin fantastik öyküsünden çıktık. Kore'nin dünyada fırtınalar gibi esen pop müziğinin tarihini, bazen sosyolojiye, bazen ekonomiye, bazen dış siyasete uğrayarak tartıştık. Çok da güldük.

Wherein we crack a longstanding mystery: Why did 2NE1 have a reggae remix in their first studio album? As always, watch the music video, the dance practice video, or the song release live stage performance. On top of that, here's the acoustic live version, dedicated to the Sewol Ferry tragedy victims. Onto the chronological bullet points: Start your day right and listen to 2NE1's I AM THE BEST (all-caps warranted). It's a fun exercise to go through the songs we've featured in other episodes, and note the changes in register in their music videos. Seo Taiji and Boys - Come Back Home This is quickest way I can explain the ｖ ａ ｐ ｏ ｒ ｗ ａ ｖ ｅ   ａ ｅ ｓ ｔ ｈ ｅ ｔ ｉ ｃ.nyorm Compare the rebellious aesthetic (also in tiled tunnels!) with labelmate Big Bang's BANG BANG BANG music video. (And look out for next episode...) Adorno - On Jazz (1936). He's not a fan. Avicii - Wake Me Up as a point of comparison. Christian rapper Flame initially won his lawsuit against Katy Perry, claiming Dark Horse infringed on his 2009 song "Joyful Noise", but the case was overturned on appeal recently. Major Lazer - Lean On, and I hope I don't have to link you Despacito. Teddy Park has so many production credits he has a separate Wikipedia page just for that. 1TYM - HOT In the sober light of day, Claudia would like to take it back. Search for Stony Skunk at your own peril. There's a cute behind-the-scenes video for the Come Back Home MV. As always, remember to follow @StanOntology on Twitter for the latest episode updates!

The episode that's secretly an introduction to SHINee, dance music, the phenomenology of sounds, and a different SHINee song all at the same time.On the menu today are: the music video, the dance practice video (a legend in its own right), the 2010 song release live stage performance, the 2018 world tour version, or the live rock remix. Phew. You can definitely watch all of them for the most comprehensive introduction. When your solo stage during your band's world tour is a cover of a song called "Lookbook", you know you're the fashionista. Key's also designed stage outfits for the group's 2016 tours. Ring Ding Dong (2009) music video, enjoy milk baby Taemin. And here's a Ring Ding Dong live stage. TO BE CLEAR! There are absolutely regional Asian pop music awards. But what we mean is that K-pop awards ceremonies lay claim to the entire region in a way that others don’t. For example, the K-pop-dominated Mnet Asian Music Awards, hosted by and largely for the Korean pop industry, has been held outside Korea for almost half its history, and throughout the 2010s. Seo Taiji and Boys - Nan Arayo (which translates to "I Know"). Worth its own episode. 2 UNLIMITED - No Limit Chuckie & LMFAO - Let The Bass Kick in Miami Bitch The Pryda snare, which you can find in its natural environment in his song, Miami to Atlanta. If I had to listen to all of them, you do too. Look, at least it wasn't this hair. FREE THIS BOY Come tell us how many songs you can pick out of the intro on Twitter: @regresssion and @claudiawylo (hint: there's definitely over a dozen).

This week starts a month long series showcasing an hour of each generation of K-pop. I want to look at how K-pop's sound has evolved over the last 3 decades leading us into the beginning of the current one. While when and where K-pop generations begin and start is hotly debated and everyone seems to have their own defining guidelines, I'll be following my own model. Generations in any context are fluid and hard to define. I'll mostly be focusing on trends in sound and style and how that shifts. And with that, Let's begin with K-pop's 1st generation! www.instagram.com/kmusiceveryday www.twitter.com/kmusiceveryday BSKP 105 Tracklist: 1. Seo Taiji and Boys - Last Festival 2.

Nosso formato entrevista/bate-papo com uma pequena introdução do que é a cultura K-POP e em seguida a Milena (apresentadora) convida Lisa Um responder perguntas do público leigo nessa cultura.

J'utilisais des extraits des albums de Seo Taiji and Boys dans la version pour le colloque, mais par souci de respecter les droits d'auteur (et parce que je ne veux pas de problème même dans dix ans), je les ai retirées de ce montage.

On June 20, a 50-piece symphony orchestra will perform live at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, with a program comprising a curated set of songs arranged to highlight the distinct musical ingenuity present in Korean music new and old.

On this week... It's another installment of the Latest & Greatest theme! However, with a twist... Instead of a new song and classic song from a single artist, we are doing covers/remakes matched up with the original versions. It was so fun to put this one together. We have covers and remakes of songs from a wide range of Kpop history. Some originals are recent, while some go as far back as the 1980s. It was also cool to learn that some of my favorite songs were actually remakes of old school korean songs (i.e. Girls' Generation). And we end with a special mash up of this concept where the artists covering the song actually collaborates with the original artist. So hopefully this one tickles your fancy and who knows, maybe you'll find out that one of your favorite Kpop tracks is actually a remake and get to hear a different rendition of it. Enjoy!

Today's theme: 2017 A Little of a Lot Recap It's the last day of 2017. We've covered many different topics throughout the year from pop psychology, air dust, Youtube, democracy, zero-waste living, Seo Taiji, etc. We look into which episodes were most popular among our listeners, and other issues that have been trending throughout 2017 here in Korea. The Conversationalist with Professor Christian Joon Park Department of Cultural Anthropology at Han Yang University Most downloaded this year: Coffee (August 20th): It is not totally surprising to see the topic of ‘coffee' gaining so much attention. There are so many coffee shops in the cities. And it seems the trend has become popular in recent years. How do you perceive Korea people's love for coffee? 2nd most downloaded: Pop-psychology, Self-esteem (March 19th): This was actually our first topic episode. Pop-psychology books almost always seem to be included in the best-seller lists. And with recent suicide of a pop Korean idol, people are clinging more to books on self-esteem and pride. Can you tell us about people's reliance on such books? 3rd most downloaded: The science of lying (April 2nd): We covered this issue broadly from individual lies, lies of the scientists to societal lies such as fairy tales. Can you tell us how lying can be connected with various issues here in Korea?

This week, we say "anyong haseyo" as we dive into fans of Korean Pop (K-Pop)... in Brazil?? Why is it so popular there, of all places? And what is it about this unique musical style? Is it riding out the Korean Wave?? Next week, our final episode of the season, takes us to fans of something a bit more global: Fans of cosplay! ## Episode outline ### Fandom Facts **Origins:** Korean pop, abbreviated to 'K-pop', is a musical genre that originates in South Korea. The term is often used to describe a modern form of South Korean pop music drawing inspiration from a range of styles and genres around the world. K-pop's origins begin in the late 1980s and early 1990s with groups such as Seo Taiji and Boys being among the earliest in 1992. > The French Institut national de l'audiovisuel defines K-pop as a "fusion of synthesized music, sharp dance routines and fashionable, colorful outfits." ... Songs typically consist of one or a mixture of pop, rock, hip hop, R&B and electronic music genres. > > — [Wikipedia - K-pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-pop) There is also a ton of history about K-pop that relates to Japan, and the West, Korean Culture in general, and even _enka_... but we only have a short time to do the research, so we would highly recommend reading more about it! **Fandom Origins:** Modern K-pop idol culture began with the band H.O.T in 1996, and another generation of fans started with TVXQ and BoA which broke into the neighbouring Japanese market (and the world). However, with the advent of social media and Korean TV shows, K-pop and its fandom may just be a small part of the Korean Wave. **Most Active:** For the first time in _Fanthropological's_ history, the answer to the question "when was this fandom most active" is _now_. Since January 2004, interest in K-pop (using [Google Trends](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F02yh8l) as a proxy) is the highest it has ever been and has been on a huge trend upwards since approximately January 2010. Interest is still rising, those it has been less dramatic of an increase in interest since approximately March 2012 (For reference, _Gangnam Style_ debuted on Youtube in July 2012). **Fandom Demographics:** Thank goodness for fans! The [kpop subreddit has conducted a census](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/55g79h/reddit_kpop_census_2016_results/) which gives us an interesting (if rough sense) of the fandom demographics of North American K-pop fans. Based on this data (and that caveat): - Age: The majority of fans are between 18-24 (61.5%), with the next largest group being fans aged 25-34 (20%) and fans aged 13-17 (15.6%) - Gender: The majority of fans from this survey are male (56%) compared to female (42.6%) - Ethnicity: The majority of fans are Asian (46%), Caucasian (44.5%), or Hispanic (8.4%) However, a Master's student, Maur-Anne Griffonnet-Barge, conducted a survey as part of her thesis and may give a [more 'global' dataset](http://beyondhallyu.com/k-pop/what-are-k-pop-fans-like-according-to-this-survey-theyre-actually-pretty-cool/): - Age: The majority are age 19 or younger with a close second being fans age 20-29 - Gender: Differing from the reddit survey, the vast majority identify as female - Ethnicity: The majority of respondents were white, with the next largest group being fans who are Asian. While it is difficult to estimate the number of fans, the Hallyu (Korean Wave) index, [gives a conservative estimate of 35 million "hardcore" fans of Korean Pop Culture worldwide](https://www.quora.com/How-many-Kpop-fans-are-there-in-the-world-divided-into-America-Europa-Asia-Africa-Australia-and-South-America) and there are 60 million registered Hallyu fan club members in 109 countries. Assuming K-pop is a subset of that, it would still put K-pop fans in the millions. **Around the world:** We know that K-pop has gained some popularity around the world, but using the same google t

Today's theme: Seo Taiji (서태지) Seo Taiji has held a solo concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut in front of 35,000. He was supported by BTS, Urban Zakapa and more. Time: Traveler - an album featuring covers by other artists of Seo Taiji songs was also released earlier this month. Since his debut in 1992, he has been named the “President of Culture.” Was he good for Korea or did he start the monopoly of entertainment based music that now has a grip on the country like no other? Let's find out! >>>The Conversationalist with Jakob Dorof - freelance writer based in Seoul - runs a blog called K-Pendium - has written for VICE, Pitchfork, Dazed, GQ Korea, and many more outlet “You call Seo Taiji the most important figure in K-pop, “Nan Arayo” (난 알아요) the most important song. But rather than Seo Taiji climbing to the summit on his own, you said 1992 Korea “needed him and wanted him” - can you elaborate? & Lindsay Roberts - Outreach Coordinator of Seoulbeats (online magazine covering K-pop) “Ahead of his grand comeback in 2014, your outlet ran an article titled “Don't call it acomeback,” saying Seo Taiji had never left the music industry. Can you elaborate on what this means?” & Lee Taek-gwang (이택광) - Professor and Culture Critic Kyung Hee (경희) University School of Global Communication “Who were the people, or generation that accepted and liked Seotaiji and Boys? Why?” & >>>A Few Minutes with Amos I saw my friend's phone and the email icon literally had 3 thousand on top of it. Clean out your emails! Your inbox should essentially be a “to do list.” Why are you just leaving spam in the inbox? Why are you just leaving old receipts, pointless reminders, and other junk in there? >>>Next week : school violence
