Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption Yonsama, Rain, Oldboy, KPop Idols by Sun Jung

This book investigates the transcultural consumption of hybrid South Korean masculinities in contemporary South Korean popular culture. It focuses on the Japanese middle-aged female fandom of an actor-Bae Yong-Joon (a.k.a. Yonsama)-the middle class Singaporean female fandom of a pop-star Rain, and the Western online cult fandom of a film, Oldboy.
Sun Jung is a research fellow in the School of Communication and the Arts at Victoria University, Australia.
