Following our session last term on fandoms, we are delving deeper into the world with a Page Breaks dedicated to K-pop (Korean pop music)! We will focus on the parasocial relationships found in the K-pop fandom and the different iterations, meanings, and implications of the fandom.
Reading an article from Teen Vogue about fandoms, specifically K-pop, will help us to understand what a parasocial relationship is, while the Radiolab podast episode, ‘K-poparazzi’ gives a great overview of K-pop, fame, and the K-pop fandom.
See you all there!
