The edited volume analyzes how Korean culture fandoms construct their 
social identity within the emerging global subculture. It explores the 
formation of fandom networks and the resulting cultural reproduction. It 
also seeks to understand fans’ consumerism, activism, and appropriation 
of Korean culture. Scholars from diverse academic backgrounds provide an 
interdisciplinary analysis of K-culture fandoms, broadening readers’ 
understanding of how fandoms influence the formation of youth identities 
and subcultural practices. This book examines how Korean culture fandoms 
sustain themselves with affectivepractices and how cultural preferences 
are shifting. An in-depth analysis of these elements provides insights 
into cultural hybridity, cross-national cultural communication, 
subculture, youth identity, consumerism, and cultural reproduction 
against the backdrop of increasing digitalization worldwide. The book 
contributes in the areas of media and cultural studies, global culture 
and politics, arts and humanities, social sciences and area studies.
