Bangtan Remixed: A Critical BTS Reader

Description:

Bangtan Remixed delves into the cultural impact of celebrated K-Pop boy band BTS, exploring their history, aesthetics, fan culture, and capitalist moment. The collection’s contributors—who include artists, scholars, journalists, activists, and fans—approach BTS through inventive and wide-ranging transnational perspectives. From tracing BTS’s hip hop genealogy to analyzing how the band’s mid-2020 album reflects the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrating how Baroque art history influences BTS’s music videos, the contributors investigate BTS’s aesthetic heritage. They also explore the political and technological dimensions of BTS’s popularity with essays on K-Pop and BTS’s fan culture as frontiers of digital technology, the complex relationship between BTS and Blackness, the impact of anti-Asian racism on BTS’s fandom, and the challenges BTS poses to conservative norms of gender and sexuality. Bangtan Remixed shows how one band can inspire millions of fans and provide a broad range of insights into contemporary social and political life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Painted with both passion and erudition, Bangtan Remixed presents a complex portrait of a band that challenged and changed the rules of popular music today.” -- Suk-Young Kim, author of ― K-Pop Live: Fans, Idols, and Multimedia Performance

“Equal parts fan letter, manifesto, and critical research essay,
Bangtan Remixed is a work of care and collectivity. Assembled by an impressive squad of queer and feminist scholars and writers who are also unabashed ARMY, the book helps us listen and think differently about BTS by starting from the radical premise that the best music writing can (and should!) be prompted by deep feeling and pleasure. As this reader and its contributors ask us to do, to take BTS seriously is to also reckon with the afterlives of war and empire; the changing landscape of pop music; and the people and places we imagine produce musical aesthetics, business models, and knowledge that matters.” -- Christine Bacareza Balance, author of ― Tropical Renditions: Making Musical Scene in Filipino America

"For readers undaunted by this combination of fandom and academia,
Bangtan Remixed will be a rewarding experience, and for outsiders to the world of K-pop, it serves as a reminder of how much popular music has changed in terms of how it is produced and consumed in an interconnected world." -- John A Riley ― Asian Review of Books

"
Bangtan Remixed is a diverse collection of perspectives that has clearly been compiled with great care. Its well-written and concise chapters will serve as a valuable source and engaging read for those passionate about BTS, both personally and academically." -- Megan Moon ― Asian Studies Review

"A welcome exploration of the K-pop band BTS and its fan group, ARMY. . . . It will be of considerable interest to people interested in K-pop, the Korean wave, popular culture, pop music, and, perhaps most importantly, fandom. Recommended. Undergraduates through faculty; professionals." -- T. R. Tangherlini ―
