Abstract

Given the growing changes in media environment and cultural consumption, globally popular contents of Korean Wave(Hallyu) has also been transformed in its forms and genres. Moreover, extant research on Hallyu has focused on any single respective genre, mostly on East-Asian countries, or studied from Korea-centered perspective. This study examined the social capital effect of Korean Wave in users' own counties, especially in non-English European societies. Survey analysis results reveal that both narrative and non-narrative contents in Hallyu had negative impact on social trust and trust toward people of their own country, whereas positive effect on trust toward Koreans. In contrast, K-pop Hallyu showed positive effect on all types of social trust toward their own country and Koreans, as well as on social participation and bridging/bonding social networks.

미디어 환경 및 문화 콘텐츠 소비가 변화하며 한류 현상 역시 시기별로 주목받는 콘텐츠의 유형과 장르가 변화하는 현실에서 이러한 한류의 변화된 흐름을 탐구해볼 시점이다. 더욱이 기존의 한류 연구들이 독립적인 개별 장르 현상만을 분석하거나 동아시아 국가에 집중해온 경향, 또한 한국 사회 입장을 중심으로 연구가 진행되어온 경향이 있는 가운데, 본 연구는 상대적으로 관심이 부족했던 비영어권 유럽 사회에서 한류 현상을 통해 수용자 자신이 처한 현실에서 실질적으로 갖는 사회적 의미에 대해 살펴보았다. 문화자본과 사회자본의 상호전환 관점에 기대어 분석한 결과, 한류 내러티브와 비-내러티브 모두 사회신뢰와 자국인 신뢰에는 부적인 영향이 있었지만 한국인 신뢰에 대해서는 정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 대조적으로, 케이팝 대중음악은 사회신뢰와 자국인 신뢰뿐 아니라, 사회교류 활동 참여 및 연계적/결속적 관계망 모두에 정적인 영향을 미치는 경향이 있었다. 한류의 콘텐츠 유형/장르에 따른 문화소비는 사회자본과 한국에 대한 문화간 커뮤니케이션에 상이한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
