The conference will focus on exploring the different aspects of contemporary Korean cultural

sectors that compose the Korean Wave: film and TV production; music; performing arts; visual art;
comics, graphic novels and webtoons; animation; videogames and e-sports; fashion and food. The
aim is analyzing the multiple factors that have made this growth possible, the specific characteristics
of cultural industries and cultural production in the Korean context, the different influences that
shaped this production and how Korea’s success is now influencing other contexts, the historical
development and changes of the Korean Wave, the socio-political and economic effects and impact
of the spread of Korean cultural products both inside and outside Korea.
