Description:Since the first edition of Pop Goes Korea came out in 2008, Korean popular culture has only gotten bigger and more successful. More than 10,000 words longer than the original book, Pop Goes Korea 2nd edition updates all the amazing stories of Korean popular culture, including "Gangnam Style" and the unbelievable surge of K-pop all over the world, the latest cinematic blockbusters, Korea's indie music scene, and the rise of webcomics. South Korea came from nowhere in the 1990s to become one of the biggest producers of pop content in Asia - and the West. Now, the former underdog of the international pop scene sets trends in music, movies, comic books, TV dramas, and online gaming for the rest of the world to follow. Why? Who's behind it? Veteran reporter-at-large Mark James Russell tells an exciting story of rapid growth and wild success marked by an uncanny knack for moving just one step ahead of changing technologies. With first-person accounts, fresh analysis, anecdotes, and intimate profiles on the dreamers and heavyweights who made the Korean tides turn, POP Goes Korea is the book that explores hallyu - the Korean Wave - hitting the world's shores.Included in the text is historical and cultural background plus focus chapters on media conglomerate CJ Entertainment, director Kang Je-gyu's blockbuster film Shiri, the Pusan International Film Festival, TV actor Lee Byung-hun, SM Entertainment pop stars S.E.S. and H.O.T., and the internet demon/darling Soribada.
