김정은 시대 북한 새 세대의 음악듣기 : 음악청취방식과 음악문화의 변화

Abstract

This article attempted to confirm the changes in listening methods and music culture through the changes and utilization of North Korean music media and technology during the Kim Jong-un era, and examine the meaning of this. As a result of the analysis, as the music storage medium evolved, the censorship and control of the authorities and the illegal activities of residents also changed. In the case of music playback media, as smartphones became the most popular media, the former media naturally declined, and the emergence of new media reflected resistance and identity in the process of developing the playback media, and it appeared as a trend according to the act of sympathizing with peer groups. In music output media, the listening area was gradually becoming personalized and expanding its own world. In particular, music listening methods and forms began to change after the emergence of earphones in North Korea, which were secretly consumed in the safest and most comfortable places and personal spaces to avoid monitoring and control areas, and were expanding the listening area in individual private spaces. In order to break away from the reality that there is a gap from the outside world, the young generation of North Korea builds their own world by listening to external content in private spaces as a refuge. To this end, it claims to be blocked and isolated from the outside world, and as the censorship of the North Korean authorities is strengthened, this pattern is likely to accelerate personalization and closed behavior, expanding, fragmentation, and passive behavior. As various music media in North Korea continued to appear and decline, the methods and forms of media use were evolving and localized in accordance with the culture and environment under the socialist system of North Korea. The development and spread of music media due to technological development continues to encourage the expansion of personal areas, and technological development has created new types and cultures of listening methods.
