Abstract
The second chapter explicates the term Hanguk hip hop by comparing the differences and similarities between American and Korean hip hop. Furthermore, it examines how hip hop—as music and culture that is deeply tied to the racial formation of America—is understood within the context of Korean society. How is hip hop lived and performed by Asian, more specifically Korean, artists? What role does hip hop play in the negotiation of race and ethnicity in contemporary Korean society? Consequently, what is real or original about Korean hip hop? In tackling these issues, the chapter offers semantic dimensions of authenticity within Korean hip hop.
