The BTS Homecoming: Does Korea's Soft Power Work? | The Impossible State

Does Korea's soft power work? What is it about Korean cultural exports that resonates across so many different cultures and societies? Is there something special about Korea, or is it something common across viewing, listening, and reading audiences? Moderated by Dr. Victor Cha, the episode features Dr. Jinaeng Choi, Assistant Professor at Georgetown University, and Timothy Martin, Korea Bureau Chief at The Wall Street Journal. In this episode, they discuss the recent BTS comeback concert, how Korean culture around the world can impact Korea's soft power, how it may influence global audiences, and more. A recording of the event will be available on-demand following the livestream. An audio-only version of the show will be available in the Impossible State podcast feed on all platforms.
