SUMMARY:2026 Janssen Lecture Presents: Robert Jisong Ku
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Korean Wave (aka Hallyu) has undoubtedly contributed t
o the metamorphosis of Korean food from what was once regarded as esoter
ically and narrowly “Korean” into what it is today—a virally global\, me
tropolitan gastronomic phenomenon. Nowhere is this better witnessed than
on the streaming platform Netflix. The success of its K-food-themed pro
gramming\, represented by K-dramas such as Bon Appétit\, Your Majesty an
d the reality TV show Culinary Class Wars\, signals that K-culture\, inc
luding food\, has transformed spectacularly over the past thirty years d
uring the Age of K-pop. Yes\, Korea has come a long way.\n\nBut has it\,
really? How much has it changed\, really? More importantly\, what exact
ly has changed and what has stayed the same? Robert Ku ponders these que
stions by drawing on his experience of cooking for and feeding other peo
ple and by specifically focusing on the gender dimensions of contemporar
y K-culture and global K-food.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.ps

(aka Hallyu) has undoubtedly contributed to the metamorphosis of Korean
food from what was once regarded as esoterically and narrowly “Korean”
into what it is today—a virally global, metropolitan gastronomic phenome
non. Nowhere is this better witnessed than on the streaming platform Net
flix. The success of its K-food-themed programming, represented by K-dra
mas such as Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and the reality TV show Culinary C
lass Wars, signals that K-culture, including food, has transformed spect
acularly over the past thirty years during the Age of K-pop. Yes, Korea
has come a long way.
But has it, really? How much has it changed,
really? More importantly, what exactly has changed and what has stayed t
he same? Robert Ku ponders these questions by drawing on his experience
of cooking for and feeding other people and by specifically focusing on
the gender dimensions of contemporary K-culture and global K-food.
