The K-Drama symposium is aseparate, one-day ‘pre-conference’ linked to KSCC. It aims to produce an edited collection on Korean TV drama and other TVformats. Over recent years the circulation of Korean television media hasexpanded considerably, via platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Viki.Global interest in Korea TV media also expands beyond diversifying genres ofTV-drama to encompass other TV format, such as reality TV and chat shows. Suchchanges raise a multitude of questions that this symposium aims to address. Weinvite papers on all research related to the global consumption of Korean TV ,especially: 

·        K-drama production practices

·        Genre forms and thematic concerns in K-drama and other TVformats
