HOW MIGHT SOFT POWER EXPLAIN BLACK-PINK AS A K-POP PHENOMENON?

First thing: Read this instruction very carefully please. I am going to help you with everything you need to know on how to help me write this essay but if you don’t follow my instruction and just use your own idea is no good for you or me.

make sure to use 15 different refencing and with the Standard Harvard in line referencing style okey!

You need to “examine if Korea is using Boy and girl-bands like BTS and Blackpink in Korean Pop culture as a strategy to generate soft power. Utilizing Joseph S. Nye Jr.s soft power theory, “three key bases for soft power” and casual chain to examine how soft power might explain black-pink as a k-pop phenomenon.”

Talk about the blackpink band and k pop culture Audience, or part of it, meaning part of soft power influence and they recognize that acts on those values and these influence policy (somehow) and this benefits the country which is Korea.

You need to talk about how Blackpink is famous in Asia and around the world, like they played in Coachella that music festival, and they are now even on Netflix so this a good business for them meaning Korea and Korea can use those to generate more soft power. give example of this by researching how korea is using k pop around the world and how much influence they have on population, especially young girls and boys. age below 25 is most fans.

Something like “Blackpink is phenomenon for soft power because of ..” Now bring in the Joseph Nye’s three key bases for soft power where you talk about how blackpink k pop is a soft power”

” Did people buy more Korean products? For example majority of my afghan friends who are age below 25 are really into K-pop I see them singing to it, sharing songs on Youtube, on their social media, so use examples like this as how young girls even in Australia are listening to Korean songs and most of them don’t understand the lyrics, now search for articles that talked about how K-pop influences are in Australia beyond Asia to say how the Korean pop culture is a soft power phenomenon…”

IMPORTANT! use refence in everything so make sure to use Australian sources. especially Australian pre review articles. Use the resources of the Barr Smith Library – librarians, books and databases to find scholarly articles.
