The UC Irvine Center for Critical Korean Studies on Monday will host a conference and concert with performers Tiger JK, Yoon Mi-rae, Bizzy and Kurtis Blow.
Amid this explosion of South Korean pop culture in the United States, as well as growing student interest in the wider Korean culture and language, the UC Irvine Center for Critical Korean Studies will host a conference on Korean hip-hop on Monday.
Kyung Hyun Kim, the center’s founding director and an organizer of the conference, said one of the biggest reasons Korean courses are getting more students is because of greater exposure to Korean pop culture.“I teach on subjects like K-pop and Korean popular culture and one of the things I noticed is that the historical density behind Korean pop culture is sometimes totally missing,” Kim said.
The conference will include a keynote address from Adam Bradley, an English professor and director of the Laboratory for Race & Popular Culture at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
