<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Beyond popular media discourse, academic discussion on understanding the Korean Wave and its impact on a changing media landscape has emerged. However,

individuals swept up by the Wave or consciously “riding” it? </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
