It also explores K-pop cover dance as a form of intercultural performance, suggesting that, by imitating and idolizing K-pop dance, fans are eventually 'fandoming' themselves and their bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting an ethnographic study of K-pop dance and its fandom, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Media Studies, Korean Studies, Performance Studies, and Dance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45241876906135,"sku":"9781032079424","price":13281.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032079424.webp?v=1769230126","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/k-pop-dance-fandoming-yourself-on-social-media-9781032079424","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
