Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book investigates the transcultural consumption of hybrid South Korean masculinities in contemporary South Korean popular culture. It focuses on the Japanese middle-aged female fandom of an actor - Bae Yong-Joon (aka. Yonsama) - the middle class Singaporean female fandom of a pop-star Rain, and the Western online cult fandom of a film, Oldboy. |
