DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs' East Asia Program pre
 sents Jung-Min Mina Lee.&nbsp\; This lecture examines the complex and dyna
 mic factors that have contributed to K-pop’s global popularity at various 
 stages of its creative process. On the production and dissemination level\
 , the K-pop industry is known to make intentional efforts for globalizatio
 n\, rendering its products internationally palatable through musical and v
 isual representations and maximizing opportunities for digital circulation
 . Furthermore\, its fandom has taken growing importance in recent years. K
 -pop fans are performative and social\, forging their own identities and c
 ommunities in global online spaces\, which fuels K-pop with greater loyalt
 y and a sense of ownership.&nbsp\;Jung-Min “Mina” Lee is a visiting schola
 r and lecturer at Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University\, wh
 ere she earned a PhD in musicology from the Music Department. She speciali
 zes in the analytical and historical interpretation of twentieth-century m
 usic\, especially post-World War II Korean music\, as well as Korean popul
 ar music (K-pop)\, propaganda and protest songs in Korea\, and music and a
 rtificial intelligence. Her recent publications include a peer-reviewed ar
 ticle in Music and Politics (2020) and chapters in Cambridge Companion to 
 K-pop (ed. Suk-Young Kim\, forthcoming\, 2023)\, Music and the Third Wave 
 of Democratisation (special-themed journal issue of Twentieth-Century Musi
 c\, forthcoming)\, and Digital Revolution and Music (published in Korean\,
  Monopoly\, 2021). She has also written extensively for public audiences\,
  mainly in the form of program notes for several orchestras and ensembles\
 , including the first US concert dedicated to the Korean-German composer Y
 ounghi Pagh-Paan.&nbsp\;
