Abstract
This study aims to examine the current status of K-POP programs offered by specialized universities in South Korea and analyze their educational curricula, in order to reflect on the reality of K-POP as a higher education subject and propose directions for its development. To achieve this, the study analyzed the status, curriculum structure, and course offerings of K-POP programs in seven specialized universities. The results revealed both commonalities and implications, indicating a lack of consistency between the current situation and the educational curriculum, particularly concerning employment and career paths. Given the coexistence of K-POP with existing programs in practical music and practical dance, the key lies in maximizing its distinctiveness and originality. Furthermore, there is a need for ongoing revisions in the curriculum to ensure practicality and coherence with career opportunities and entrepreneurship.
