K-Pop Dance: Fandoming Yourself on Social Media<\/em> by Chuyun Oh<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"K-Pop<\/p>\n

K-pop Dance: Fandoming Yourself on Social Media<\/em> by Chuyun Oh<\/a> explores how K-pop fans use dance and social media to express themselves and build global communities. Oh shows how fans on platforms like YouTube<\/a> and TikTok<\/a> recreate choreography, form connections across cultures, and blur the boundaries between performer and audience. Through this lens, K-pop becomes more than music, it transforms into a shared cultural practice that unites people through creativity and participation.<\/p>\n

I was drawn to this book because I enjoy K-pop and often see K-pop dance videos online. Reading it helped me understand that these dances are not just entertainment but meaningful acts of self-expression and identity. The book<\/a> reveals how social media shapes the way people connect, create, and find belonging within global pop culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
