Hallyu (the Korean Wave), a term coined to describe the widespread popularity and regional/trans-regional influence of Korean cultural products, has recently come into its own as a subject of academic inquiry and broad intellectual interest. However, while much attention has been paid to the impact of the Korean Wave on Korea’s national image or domestic economy, as well as its implications for transnational cultural flow, there has been little discussion about the impact of new communication technologies, such as social media.
Hallyu is indeed entering the new age of social media. For the last few years, Facebook, Twitter, youtube, cyworld, and myriad social networking websites have boosted the dissemination of Korea’s popular media contents to regions where the traditional media– theatrical distributions, TV networks, and DVD/VCD sales– had never reached before. Korean films, TV dramas and variety shows, online games, comics, and popular songs are now being shared, distributed and consumed in cyberspace at an unprecedented pace.
“Hallyu 2.0: The Korean Wave in the Age of Social Media” conference seeks to comprehend and interpret the meaning of this new and powerful cultural industry. The conference will stage interdisciplinary dialogues among scholars of cinema, media, and visual studies, and of area studies and communication studies, by implicating multiple approaches in deciphering the intricate web of contemporary media ecosystems.

Just out of curiosity, I looked for the professor who is lecturing on “Of the Fans, By the Fans, For the Fans: The Republic of JYJ. After all, we as a fandom would like to be fairly represented by the lecturer, right?
I found her profile/student eval at Los Angeles City College. Here is the link:

Trans] 120323 With Park Yoochun’s Acting in ‘Rooftop Prince’– Ratings are Two Digit Numbers
With the airing of two episodes of ‘Rooftop Prince’, it has marked a two digit rating from the audience. On the 23rd, according to the AGB Nielsen Media Research ratings, the episode of ‘Rooftop Prince’ that was aired on the 22nd received nationwide ratings of 10.5%. It seems the ratings had risen by 0.7% from the previous episode that was aired, which had had a rating of 9.8%. [omitted drama summary]
In this episode, Lee Gak (Park Yoochun) and his servants Song Man Bo (Lee Minho), Woo Yong Sul (Jong Suk Won), and Do Chi San (Choi Woo Shik) went through many ordeals as they tried to adapt to reality. When the 4 men tried to return back to their palace, they were chased by the police, and when they requested for food from convenience stores they were thrown in detention facilities. At the end of all the twists and turns, Park Ha (Han Ji Min) was faced with Lee Gak for the second time, and experienced things such as Lee Gak ordering the rice cooker to be gotten rid of after he heard sounds coming from it, and also how they all bowed down when she showed them a 10,000 won bill. With these moments of great laughter, the drama was well received by viewers.

Thank you Micky Yoochun for these beautiful pictures. Our prayers are with you too. We love you. Keep Fighting!!
Addendum: Yoochun, there is much meaning in these cryptic messages. Life is rearing up into your face right now, and many decisions are looming ahead. Be brave, be strong–not in your own strength, for you have God to support you and to provide for you and your family. A portion of that support is in those of us who love you because you deserve to be loved. We will walk with you through this painful time. You have sacrificed much to gain this much ground and our job is to help you to hold that ground by giving our hands, hearts, and a portion of what we have been given. <3

Rooftop Prince
SBS’s “Rooftop Prince” starring Park Yoochun has aired it’s first episode. It is presently on drama sites with partial subs. This has been a much anticipated drama, especially in light of the recent actual sasaeng drama and parental loss in the lives of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. This brings some sunshine in along with the sincere efforts of Junsu to cheer us up.. Congratulations Yoochun. I will write a review as soon as I have opportunity.
Addendum:
I just finished watching Episode One of Rooftop Prince with English subs at www.viki.com
This drama is considerably complicated and starts very tragically with the death of the Crown Princess. She is not what she appears to be, and is dearly loved by the Crown Prince (Yoochun). This story line has the feel of Cinderella minus the wicked stepmother. Why have a wicked stepmother when you can have a wicked step-sister? As is natural, the Crown Prince suspects foul play, and the instinctive viewer finger points to the wronged sister of the Crown Princess.
There is a huge amount of hopping back and forth between time. Yoochun’s modern character drowns (through actual foul play), and the Crown Prince and his royal band of vigilantes end up in the apartment of the modern-day wronged step-sister.
This drama is going to be complicated and will need intense direction in order to keep the viewer from being disoriented. Over-all it looks like a great storyline, humorous and not-so-humorous plot, and I am looking forward to Episode Two. Park Yoochun is doing an excellent job of acting and so are the other characters, especially the child actresses. Episode Two should help the plot to settle in and then we will be off on a Grand Adventure!!!
O.K. Episode Two is hilarious, especially the fire scene and teaching the Guys modern conveniences like ‘ahem’ toilets. The Crown Prince is getting the picture rapidly . He knows that they have time-traveled 300 years and this will prove interesting. BTW. What’s with the alcohol and whipped cream? This Momma must be behind the times. Absolutely funny!
Episode Three of Rooftop Prince is out. My Goodness. I laughed so hard my ribs hurt. This drama is proving to be a wonderfully hilarious ride full of quirky surprises and lots of emotional angst. Just what we all like, right? The elevator scene is so funny, funny, funny. Poor Guys, picturetakers, cameras, and all.
I wanted to cry with Micky at the palace. He can look so pathetic, can’t he? Crocodile Tears. TT
There is so much, how do you cover it all? I love everything about this drama. The characters, the plot, the colors, the situation…YAWWWW……… Momma Cha 😉 <3
Fighting Park Yoochun!!!! Momma Cha

Following the loss of their father, JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun expressed his brotherly love and appreciation towards his younger brother, Park Yoo Hwan. On March 21, Yoo Chun tweeted, “To the person I love most in the world, Yoo Hwan. Let’s live an awesome life. I’m always grateful for you, and I love you.” The heartfelt message moved many fans, who were heartbroken over the recent circumstances regarding JYJ’s sasaeng fans and Yoo Chun’s loss.
Yoo Chun and Yoo Hwan’s father passed away last week on March 14, and both brothers canceled their schedules to lay their father to rest, as well as to mourn. While it was expected that he would return to filming SBS’s “Rooftop Prince” on March 19, Yoo Chun returned earlier than anticipated on March 17.
Many netizens sent their support and condolences, commenting, “Yoo Chun and Yoo Hwan! Fighting!” “Everything will get better soon,” “This post made me cry,” “Today’s the first airing of Yoo Chun’s drama! Let’s support him,” and more.
Meanwhile, Park Yoo Chun’s “Rooftop Prince” is about a Chosun era Crown Prince Lee Gak (Park Yoo Chun), who was in the midst of investigating the death of his Crown Princess (Jung Yumi), when he mysteriously gets sucked into the future and meets his destined love (Han Ji Min). The historical-fusion-contemporary-fantasy drama “Rooftop Prince” will premiere on SBS tonight, March 21, at 9:55PM KST
