Is access journalism adding to the echo chamber in kpop discourse? For the sake of this conversation, we chose to define "access journalism" as journalism that prioritizes access—meaning media time with idols—over journalistic objectivity and/or integrity. Given the access to the idol and the controlled nature in how it is often brought about, access journalism is often lauded as just being PR for the company or brand. In other words, a free advertisement that abuses the legitimacy that might come with earned media or media coverage. In k-pop circles, access journalism has traditionally been met with compromises on virtually all sides. Fans want something new but aren’t welcoming of coverage that critiques or presents a less-ideal image of their idols. Publicity teams want positive coverage (and lots of hits from leading publications), but they want coverage to be on message. And journalists want to maintain objective integrity, say something new, and not sacrifice standing with either PR teams or fans. So, what has that meant in outcomes in coverage? When individuals break from this system, what happens? What should we be asking for or doing as fans to create a more healthy system? We’ve assembled some speakers here to discuss.Join us on Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/kpopcast/shared_invite/zt-93kzxcv6-YNej2QkyY6vaPnhEQJxk0AOur Newsletter: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thekpopcastThe Kpopcast Crew:twitter.com/TheKpopcasttwitter.com/Sparker2twitter.com/michaelajkpoptwitter.com/DJPeterLokpopcast.net Hosted on Acast.

From short hair to the Burning Sun scandal, Kpop has a 🤏problem in properly understanding “feminism.” In this #kpopchat conversation held in August, we discussed the current and ongoing backlash against the Feminism movement in South Korea, and how we should consider feminist themes in the industry/genre.

In late 2020, “K-pop fans” were praised as a socially conscious monolithic community who used fancams to flood watchdog apps, hijack racist hashtags, and to buy-out Trump rally tickets. Often k-pop movements were externally seen as moving in the name of BLM, but, if you actually spoke with black k-pop fans, you’d see that not all of these gestures helped black k-pop fans. K-pop fans of color have, in actuality, endured years of anti-blackness from fellow k-pop fans, and we still see it today. From HYBE’s lack of action around its app which allows for racist language, image, and violent messaging, to the ongoing doxxing that we see happening on Twitter on fans of color who simply ask their favorite idols to do better, fandom has unfortunately been a force of harm for communities of color. So, to better understand the issues and explore what we could be doing next, we’ve assembled a panel of speakers.This episode is a recording of a #kpopchat conversation we held on Twitter Spaces. Every week on Twitter Spaces, we hold #kpopchat discussions on interesting things happening in and around the k-pop community.
