The international conference brought together scholars from nine countries 🌏🤝 to explore Korea's past, present, and future through interdisciplinary discussions on society, sustainability, and transformation. Mr. Magoncia presented his research as part of the Popular Culture Panel 🎶📺, examining the embodied labour behind global idol productions and contributing to ongoing conversations on Korean popular culture as a global industry shaped by labour, technology, and power. 💡🎭📱
