<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Korean popular culture has gained increasing attention and popularity over the past few years beyond Korea and Asia. As we navigate the multifaceted landscape of Korean popular
culture, we find that its influence extends far beyond the realms of K-pop and K-drama. Two invited presentations explore the genre of comics and animation as emerging cultural phenomena
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#444746">in relation to the expanding consumption space and the production of mainstream animation films inspired by Korean-American immigrant stories.

<p style="margin-left:.75pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">This presentation will examine the trajectory of Korean comics as it shifted from paper-based manhwa to online webcomics, discussing not only how the
reading medium itself has changed, but how that has fundamentally shifted the way that comics are drawn, experienced, and socially perceived. The “spaces” refer to not only the spaces in which Korean manhwa are consumed (manhwa cafes, “manhwabang,” hidden
away from parents), in contrast to the virtual spaces that webtoons occupy, but also the differing nature of negative space in manhwa versus webtoons. Korean comics, as they began to migrate online and escape the decrepit, “seedy” spaces in which manhwa
rental stores and manhwa cafes often operated, are now no longer as deeply associated with negative social imagery, which suggests that the changing space of consumption has led to a change in the social status of the medium itself. Finally, the presentation
will also discuss the vast range of genre and accessibility in webtoons, from the generally free-to-read “daily” webtoons on online portals, the personal, autobiographical webtoons published on social media </span><o:p></o:p></p>
