Why are pop groups so successful in South Korea, but not in the US?

1) Must contain at least 10 sources (4 of which are peer review or book sources). A news article is not a peer reviewed source.
2) Your Research Question (Focus on questions that explain, we are not doing empirical research)
a. Answer Why did you choose this question?
b. Answer Do you think your question passes the So What? test and why?
c. Answer Who might benefit from your research in the real world?
i. Ex: Why are pop groups so successful in South Korea, but not in the US?
ii. This research might help someone in the music industry who is trying to debut a new pop group in the US understand the barriers that they may have to overcome.
d. Answer What sources do you expect to use to answer this question.
3) Your working thesis statement (You may have to do some research to create one if you are completely unfamiliar with the topic).
4) As previously stated, the paper should be 6-8 pages. There are no penalties for writing the minimum (you can still get an A with 6 pages). 6 pages means 6 full pages and writing any less than that will impact your grade. You are free to use any style youd like to write the paper. You must use in-text citations or footnotes and include a bibliography or works cited page (both
not included in page count). The grading is holistic. Be concise as possible. Any information not relevant to your thesis should not be in the body paragraphs. Define all unfamiliar terminology that you plan to use in the beginning and provide all relevant background information in the introduction. Make sure that it is clear how each body paragraph is supporting and tying back into your thesis statement.
**NOTE FROM THE PROFESSOR: If you’re interested in the issue of subtitling you could address the issue of localization on the consumers of anime, whether that be censorship, subtitling, loss of nuance in translation, character representation by voice actors etc.
