Articles in the special section within this issue explore the nature and range of North Korean popular culture, from Karaoke to Film to North Korea’s famous popular and light music groups. Further papers touch on Korean women’s experiences in Hawaii as picture
brides, comparisons between Korean and American crimes of parricide, the construction of Muslim identity in Korean online and Housewifization and other ideologies of womanhood in the South Korea of the 1960s and 1970s. The European Journal of Korean Studies
Vol 19 (2) also offers reviews of some of the most intriguing recent book length writing, including a double headed review of Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia’s ‘<i>A Misunderstood Friendship: Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, and Sino–North Korean Relations, 1949–1976’</i>
a review of Ra Jong-yil’s ‘<i>Inside North Korea’s Theocracy: The rise and sudden fall of Jang Song-thaek</i>’ and other reviews including Kyoim Yun’s ‘<i>The Shaman’s Wages: Trading in Ritual on Cheju Island’</i> and Joseph Songhyun Jeon’s ‘<i>Vicious Circuits:
Korea’s IMF Cinema and the End of the American Century.</i>’<br>
