Book excerpt: Whatever my plans were after graduating college, they didn't include managing a K-Pop group. They also didn't include falling in love with all of its members... After a father I never knew appeared in my life, claiming I was an heir to a Korean entertainment company, I was summoned to Seoul, given a job, and told to keep my identity a secret. The only person who knows who I am is my devil-spawn half-brother, and Sejin's doing his best to make sure I don't inherit any of it.

At first, I wanted to spite that devil-spawn. And then I met H3RO. Until now, Tae, Dante, Nate, Minhyuk, Kyun and Jun have been seen as nothing other than a commodity.

For Choi Ha-Joon, known simply as Hajoon, his focus has been on working hard to make SBG a success alongside his bandmates. He hasn’t had time for or even thought much about falling in love. But when American biographer Jenna Oliver arrives in Seoul to live with SBG in order to write their group biography, things begin to change. At first he’s not fond of having someone invade their personal space and is suspicious of her, but as he gets to know Jenna he grows to respect her not only as a professional but as a person.

Hoon is glad when he hears his company is determined to find the culprit and prosecute them, but when they point the finger at the woman who is in charge of booking the group’s travel he can’t believe it and finds himself defending her. Jung Hae-Ri has built a comfortable life for herself after some difficult times, but that secure life is threatened once again when LLK Entertainment accuses her of selling Hoon’s travel information and fires her. Perhaps even more shocking is when Hoon himself comes to her defense, telling the powers-that-be at LLK and the police that there’s no way she’d betray him or any of the other idols like that because she’s always been so protective of them.

No matter how much she tries to discourage Ji-Hyun—for both of their sakes—she can’t resist when it becomes obvious her romantic feelings are reciprocated.

Download or read book The Korean Wave written by Tae-Jin Yoon and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Korean Wave phenomenon started in 1997, Hallyu has undergone many changes. Geographically, while Asia has been the largest cultural market for the Korean cultural industries, other parts of society, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America have gradually admitted Korean popular culture. The components of the Korean Wave have also greatly expanded. Hallyu originally implied the exports of a few cultural products, such as television dramas, popular music, and films; however, Korea has recently developed and exported K-pop, digital games and smartphone technologies as well as relevant youth culture. Meanwhile, industrial and technological contexts of the Korean Wave have changed significantly during the last 20 years. The role of social media in the Korean Wave’s transnationalization in recent years is especially intriguing because fans around the world can easily access social media to enjoy K-pop, digital games, and films. The changes in the nature and appearance of the Korean Wave, conceptual and theoretical shifts in the studies of the Korean Wave, and the influences of the development of media technologies on the Korean Wave are all very significant. This book aims to provide a better understanding of Hallyu's theoretical and institutional history on one hand, and new features of the Korean Wave on the other hand.

Book excerpt: We must lay down our certainties and honestly admit our doubts to identify with Jesus. Rollins purposely upsets fundamentalist certainty in order to open readers up to a more loving, active manifestation of Christ's love. He explores how the Good News actually involves embracing the idea that we can't be whole, that life is difficult, and that we are in the dark. By joyfully embracing our brokenness, and courageously accepting the difficulties of existence, we truly rob death of its sting and enter into the fullness of life.

Download or read book Of God and Gods written by Jan Assmann and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, our world has been shaped by biblical monotheism. But its hallmark—a distinction between one true God and many false gods—was once a new and radical idea. Of God and Gods explores the revolutionary newness of biblical theology against a background of the polytheism that was once so commonplace. Jan Assmann, one of the most distinguished scholars of ancient Egypt working today, traces the concept of a true religion back to its earliest beginnings in Egypt and describes how this new idea took shape in the context of the older polytheistic world that it rejected. He offers readers a deepened understanding of Egyptian polytheism and elaborates on his concept of the “Mosaic distinction,” which conceives an exclusive and emphatic Truth that sets religion apart from beliefs shunned as superstition, paganism, or heresy. Without a theory of polytheism, Assmann contends, any adequate understanding of monotheism is impossible.
