Boozy Lectures Presents K-pop: Globalization, Identity, and Fandom

Curious about how K-pop took over the global music scene? Join Boozy Lectures for an evening exploring the genre's rise from South Korea to the Billboard Hot 100. Bryan Kuk, a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at the University of Calgary, leads this seminar using insights from his qualitative research on fan communities. The discussion covers the historical roots of K-pop, how globalization blurs cultural boundaries, and the unique hierarchical structures within the fandom. It is a chance to dive deeper into the sociology of music and identity. The event is 18+ and will be recorded. Please cancel your reservation if you can no longer attend so others on the waitlist can join in.
