This exhibition explores K-Pop as a multidimensional cultural movement. The posters document the global rise of Korean pop artists, including BTS, in the 21st century, and describe K-Pop’s unique approaches to production, aesthetics, representations, and fan practice. The exhibition also showcases K-Pop memorabilia housed in the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ Library, enriching our understanding of a pop music genre that is much more than music.
This creative project marks an exciting collaboration between from the School of East Asian Studies and the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ Library, with support from The Centre for Korean Studies, the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ's own Western Bank Library, and the National Library of Korea in line with the Window on Korea project.
