Idol music, which began to gain huge popularity in the domestic music market in the mid-1990s, has become one of the major global contents thanks to the global popularity of K-POP. As a result, the Korean music market continues to grow, forming the world's sixth-largest music market, and domestic music agencies are focusing more on fostering idol groups and producing idol music. The global success of idol music is surprising, but this has resulted in the domestic music market being biased toward idol music. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that there are several problems with the phenomenon of being biased toward similar types of musicians and music content. First, just as trend-oriented cultural contents face the problem of life expectancy all the time, the "Korean Wave" is also forced to think in terms of identity and sustainability. Second, it was observed that only consumers of a certain age may cause cultural alienation of other age groups, and thirdly, various problems such as shrinking creative paths due to the size of the cost required for idol group production and the lifespan of idol musicians' art activities. This paper derives the reality of the domestic idol bias phenomenon through comparative analysis of the English-American music market and the domestic music market, which have had a profound influence on the global music market in popular music history, and verified the theory and results through an expert survey using the Likert scale. In addition, the problems caused by the idol bias phenomenon were considered based on the theory of cultural diversity, and improvement directions were also suggested to solve this problem.

HYBE Insight, opened in May 2021, is an exhibition space that visually displays and re-interprets the BTS Universe and its content. The space echoes the identity of BTS as an artist and the specificity of the cultural phenomenon they have generated. This study analyzes HYBE Insight's BTS exhibition by applying new museological theories and discourses. Based on a qualitative research methodology including literature review and observational method, the primary themes of the exhibition are follows: 1) a contextualized exhibition content presenting the identity of BTS and their music, 2) the role of the fandom Army's participation in (re) producing BTS content related to the characteristic of popular music museums, 3) the elements of convergence art and its contemporary implication, 4) and the illumination of cultural value in popular music museum management. As the pivotal theory of new museology suggests, investigating a specific exhibition based on each context it has created is significant. However, those studies, including exhibitions related to popular music/artists, were mostly developed in Western nations. In this respect, HYBE Insight's BTS exhibition provides considerable room to explore. In addition to the recent research on BTS, such as their convergent artistry, socio-cultural influence, the role of Army, and the characteristics of HYBE's content management, this article aims to contribute to the multifaceted research by scrutinizing the BTS exhibition content from the new museology perspective.

21세기에 들어서면서 컴퓨터와 인터넷의 급격한 발달은 인류의 정치 경제 사회 문화의 모든 트랜드를 바꿔 놓고 있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 그 결과 아날로그와 오프라인의 시대에서 이제는 디지털과 온라인의 시대로 우리의 생활 중심이 옮겨가고 있다. 자원이 부족한 우리나라는 정보화측면에서는 선진국으로 평가받고 있으며, 이를 토대로 CT(Cultural Technology)를 국가전략분야로 육성해나가고 있는 등 세계화시대 및 문화산업시대의 도래와 함께 부가가치의 창출을 극대화할 수 있는 분야로 주목하고 있다. 그러나 디지털 강국인 우리나라에서는 정보화촉진기본법 등의 제정을 통하여 자료의 디지털 화에만 엄청난 예산을 쏟아 붓고 있다. 하지만 이제는 그보다 더 중요한 정보의 활용 즉, 활성화 측면에 관심을 가져야 할 때이다. 활성화되지 못한 디지털 자료는 땅속에 묻혀있는 오래된 유물과도 같다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 전통문화 콘텐츠 중에서도 특히 디지털화가 가장 용이하며, 활성화의 가능성이 가장 높은 디지털 전통음악 콘텐츠의 활성화를 위한 문제점과 이를 해결하기 위한 방안을 모색하였다.

본 논문에서는 현재 국내의 디지털 음악 콘텐츠 산업에서 이슈가 되고 있는 정액제와 수익배분 비율 문제를 중심으로 수리적 모형을 사용하여 분석하였다. 특히 국내의 현황을 반영하여 음원권리자와 이동통신사의 문제에 더욱 초점을 맞추었다. 본 논문의 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이동통신사와 음원권리자 사이에서는 정액제를 선택하든 종량제를 선택하든 중요하지 않을 수 있다는 것이다. 중요한 것은 음원권리자가 수익배분비율을 그리고 이동통신사가 음원판매소매가격을 자율적으로 결정할 수 있어야 한다는 것이고 두 게임참여자가 서로 이익을 얻을 수 있는 수익배분방법과 비율이 존재한다는 점이다. 둘째, 정액제는 오히려 소비자와 이동통신사간의 관계에 영향을 미치게 되는데 이동통신사에게는 유리하고 소비자에게는 불리하게 된다는 것이다. 특히, 이동통신사와 음원권리자가 수직적으로 통합되어 경쟁하는 시장구조하에서는 소비자에게 불리한 경향이 더욱 심화되므로 정액제 보다는 종량제 가격의 하락을 통해서 온라인 음악 시장의 성장을 유도하는 것이 소비자에게 유리하게 된다. 이와 같은 온라인 음악시장의 성장은 중장기적으로 사업자들에게도 도움이 될 것이다.

The success of K-Pop music industry continues as there is a new light shedding on the new Korean wave. There is a continuous discussion about the sustainability of the idol's dance music because of its limit in the uniform genre. As a solution to improve the quality of K-pop music, researchers said to supplement it through the change of educational system in the applied music. However, research into how much the education of applied music is contributing to the continuous success of the K-Pop music industry and how each industry is affecting each other was inadequate. Therefore, this study will understand the association between the K-Pop and the applied music, and look into ways that can act as a mutual supplementation for both fields. Subjects of analysis included performing artists, composers, arrangers, lyricists, and singers for songs within the top 100 of the digital total ranking for the past three years in the Gaon chart which is the official music chart for Korea. Then, the study apprehended how many of those subject had relations with the applied music and their activity frequency. As a result, there were a considerable number of K-Pop performers, at 41.74%, who also majored in the applied music. To continue to tendency of Korean wave and develop the Korean popular music, this study will explore roles each industry should cooperate in the future. There were the formation of social atmosphere for increase of consumer's needs to diverse K-pop music and change of education for training its human resources that K-pop industry demand.

1 인 미디어 산업의 성장으로 다양한 콘텐츠 제작의 증가와 함께 영상의 분위기를 좌우하는 BGM 의 수요도 급증하고 있다. 그러나 무료 음원은 한정되어 있으며 이미 많은 영상에 쓰여 시청자에게 흔한 느낌을 준다. 특히 MCN 에 소속되지 않은 콘텐츠 크리에이터들은 개성 있고 영상에 어울리는 음원 확보에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 콘텐츠 제작 환경을 개선하기 위해 창작자가 직접 녹음하거나 악보를 스캔해 자신만의 음원을 제작할 수 있는 웹 애플리케이션 '플랫'을 제안한다. 본 연구를 통해 콘텐츠 크리에이터들은 독창적이고 풍성한 콘텐츠를 만들 수 있으며, 음악적 숙련도와 관계없이 쉽게 음원을 만들 수 있어 작곡에 대한 접근성이 좋아질 것으로 보인다. 또한, 딥러닝을 활용해 음악을 창작함으로써 인공지능 작곡 분야를 활성화하고 디지털 음악 시장의 새로운 분야를 개척하는 데 이바지할 것으로 기대한다.

This study explores the process of the actual content production and distribution, by creating a YouTube channel to promote the popular music contents produced by the researcher, which thus reflects the reality where the production of video contents rapidly increases. A YouTube channel titled "Alida Music", of which the focus was to promote indie musicians, was created on February 2019. The contents of 10 indie musicians were produced in one-take live format. The information of the indie musicians was displayed in the form of a screen business card, with their e-mail address and SNS account at the top. Therefore, this promotional design was named "Card Live". Promotional video contents marked with the QR code in the lower right on the screen were produced, along with the promotional phrase "Communicate directly with the artist through the QR code", which allows viewers to watch other contents of the indie musician when they scan the QR code. This research conducted a study on how to improve and promote "Card Live" contents of "Alida Music", which were produced through this process. A group interview targeting five indie musicians, among whom one participant deemed significant was selected to conduct a one-to-one in-depth interview. As a result of the study, the following three conclusions were drawn. First, YouTube was found to be the medium with the greatest influence and highest efficiency at the lowest cost. Second, the evaluation of the participants on "Card Live" were divided into the three categories: need for one-take live, the design elements of "Card Live", and scanning issues of the QR code. Third, there is a need for promotional methods that can effectively utilize the media aspects of YouTube: the channel management issues such as raising public awareness as well as the number of subscribers of "Alida Music" should be resolved and measures to effectively use various media including other SNS should be developed. In terms of its content, it is imperative to recruit diverse performers to make various contents, as well as to come up with ways to link "Card Live" contents with offline. Based on these results, "Card Live" contents should be further revised and complemented in order to provide interesting contents to consumers, which will further develop "Alida Music" as a platform where various musicians and companies meet, thereby inducing contracts with popular music agencies and generating advertising revenues. However, since this study was carried out only with the limited number of participants, future studies should include more participants to bring forth a variety of promotional plans and improvement measures. Also, in the era of consuming contents through smart devices, the fact that some features of "Card Live" were available only on PC, did not fully reflect the characteristics of the times. In the future research, various contents that smartphone users can access and view freely without PC should be produced.
