<b><i>K-popology: Music, Video, Choreo, Fandom</i></b> is an international conference at Uppsala University (Sweden), June 8–11, 2025, covering artistic, cultural and industrial aspects of K-pop as a multifaceted global trend. Since the turn of the millennium,
K-Pop has ventured into largely uncharted territories, giving rise to transmedial and transcultural phenomena that present unique challenges and opportunities for scholars, as well as for performers, composers, choreographers, promoters, and fans. The rapid
evolution of K-Pop often outpaces scholarly efforts to fully comprehend its complexities. We encourage academics as well as artists, composers, choreographers and producers to propose presentations that deepen our knowledge of K-pop as both an aesthetic and
a socio-economic phenomenon. The conference takes place after the K-pop Nordic Festival, June 7, 2025, in Stockholm which is ca. 40 minutes from Uppsala by train.</div>
