Each class will examine what makes k-pop unique from a different perspective. The first class will explore different ways of approaching the history of k-pop (who's telling the history, the kinds of sources people use, etc). The second class will introduce students to multimedia studies and model how to conduct a multimedia analysis, especially focusing on music and choreography. The third class will focus on fan culture and often-asked question of why k-pop is so popular. The class will be enjoyable for both k-pop fans and people who've never encountered it.
