Lifetime #K-pop fangirl. PhD student at UMass Amherst. Researching East Asian popular culture, transnational/transcultural fandom in global contexts; subculture, resistance and feminism on digital platforms.
Many thanks for the recap and attendance! I have some super intriguing discussions with other scholars after the panel. More recent K-pop acts in the world have further diversified how we see K-pop as a genre, and how it fits into globalization with specific, localized contexts. 🫶
1st panel for the day at #IAMCR2025 and @wildcaughtbonnie.bsky.social appeals for a cautious celebration of K-pop as global success or representation of Asian pop culture when so much of it is hybridised & still controlled by US powers. Such an interesting paper!

@tanyayty.bsky.social Tianyi did an excellent presentation introducing our findings across Chinese and American K-pop fandoms in alternative fanlight behaviors. We're open for any discussions and convos on this issue ;)
In another fascinating paper, Tianyi Yang & @wildcaughtbonnie.bsky.social explore how the use of lightsticks in Kpop concerts are used & localised, and how that reflects different approaches to concepts of sociopolitical issues & fan material cultures. #IAMCR2025

The searches for Chinese subtitled 서울의 봄 didn't really peak after the 청룡영화상 but dramatically increased today on Chinese social media (of course for a pirate version). Also the 2005 K-drama 제5공화국 have become super viral for its impressive lines and memes. 12/3 Coup d'état. 🙂↕️

The entire #aespa set. #Winter is absolutely my bias for her personality, but when they perform, it's impossible to say who is better, they are such a great team of amazing performers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LyR...

好东西 "Her Story" will be released in the US soon on Nov. 28! It's a feminist comedy-drama film by Director Shao Yihui 邵艺辉. Rated 9.1/10 on Douban, it "conveys and represents women's voice to the patriarchal world". Super excited to finally watch it in theater🥹

Been here only for several days, but seeing chains of reposts/quotes of people's intro and sharing of recent research, wallpapers etc. brings me back to old QQspace QQ空间 and Renren/Xiaonei 人人/校内网 era when community and networks gradually built upon mutuals. Weird but cute & nice nostalgia I guess 💌
