Celebrate the publication of Bangtan Remixed and the digital release of MENT Issue 02 with some of the co-editors and contributors!

Bangtan Remixed delves into the impact of celebrated K-Pop boy band BTS, exploring their history, aesthetics, and the fan culture and industry that surrounds them. MENT considers Korean popular culture’s increasingly central role in (re)shaping personal narratives, diasporic communities, digital networks, and global media paradigms. The contributors featured in these publications—who include artists, scholars, journalists, activists, and fans—show how BTS specifically, and Korean popular media more broadly, can inspire millions and provide a wide range of insights into contemporary social and political life. Join co-editors, contributors, fans, and the GYOPO community for an afternoon of presentations, panel discussions, interactive art-making and movement activities, adorable merchandise, boba, books available for purchase, and a closing dance workshop!
