1. Re: research on korean youth culture (Hilary Finchum-Sung)

Hi all

My first post to this very informative forum.

I publish a hip hop magazine in Australia (Sydney) and have written for a
Korean hip hop magazine.

So if you are looking for contacts in Korea (hip hop artists, Djs, editors,
writers, graffiti artists), please email me: editor at stealthmag.com.

While this may not be pre-prepared research, some of these contacts would
give you a more poignant insight into current trends in Korean youth
culture. 

The editor of GLOBAL NOISE, Tony Mitchell, is also based in Sydney.

Regards

Mark Pollard
