The succession and change of Korean hip-hop expressed through

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the aspects of desire and resistance inherent in Korean hip-hop. And to understand the current socio-cultural function and position of Korean hip-hop. For this purpose, was selected as a sample of Korean hip-hop. And all the songs released from season 3 to season 10 were analyzed. Through this, I tried to understand the desire and resistance inherent in today's Korean hip-hop. And compared with the past from the point of view of 'inheritance and change', and examined what it means. As a result, today's Korean hip-hop has the following socio-cultural meaning. First, underground hip-hop in Korea has been handed down as an ‘attitude’, claiming an independent identity and pursuing self-realization. Second, Korean hip-hop has changed from a means for public discourse to a means for personal discourse. Third, capitalism and materialism have shifted from the object of resistance to the object of pursuit. I hope that this thesis can contribute to the formation of a progressive discourse related to Korean hip-hop.
