Analisis Multimodal pada Teks Iklan untuk Mengidentifikasi Aspek Ketulusan Iklan

This study aims to analyze the sincerity aspect of Indonesian and Korean advertisements through multimodal analysis. This study uses a content analysis research method using the FCB Grid Model on several products, namely fast food, tobacco, and telecommunications. The selection of ad samples was carried out based on the FCB Grid Model. The results of the study show that some products such as tobacco and fast food are included in the category of products that involve low emotions and thoughts when consumers consider these products. However, telecommunications products fall into the category of products that involve high rational thinking skills, thus requiring serious consideration from consumers. Other findings show that there are several semantic and pragmatic expressions that make consumers confused in choosing a product. The most frequent violations found in products are false expressions and explanations that lead consumers astray. In addition, other violations are expression omissions, exaggerated expressions, fictitious, and omission of important information, thus making consumers feel lost in choosing products.

Lexical cohesion in the commercial advertisements of five Korean magazines

Lexical cohesion is considered an essential element in understanding a discourse. However, the forms of lexical cohesion in commercial Korean advertisements are still under-explored. This study aims to examine 1) the forms of lexical cohesion found in the commercial advertisements of five Korean-language magazines; 2) the most dominant form of lexical cohesion in the advertisements; and 3) the functions of using the lexical cohesion forms in the advertisements. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. The research data were collected through careful comprehension and note-taking technique. The results demonstrated that five forms of lexical cohesion were found in the advertisements: repetition, synonym, antonym, hyponym, and collocation. Repetition was the most frequently occurred lexical cohesion form (n=30 times). Most of the commercial advertisements analyzed employed repetition to emphasize the advantages of the advertised product or service. This results indicate that the analyzed commercial advertisements are considerably cohesive. It can be seen from the use of lexical cohesion forms that makes the discourse of commercial advertising holistic and intelligible.

Употребление лексики и грамматики в корейском языке

Pragmatics in linguistics is the study of the use of language, and pragmatics is the study of the meaning of the speaker. This study is an analysis study on the contents of advertisement as a tool for utilizing Korean vocabulary and grammar based on pragmatic theory. As a tool for the use of Korean vocabulary and grammar, K-pop, Korean dramas, Korean films, and Korean advertisements, which are the genres of Hallyu, are thought to be helpful in accurately using, understanding, and spreading Korean. In particular, it is considered worthwhile to use Koreans' emotional vocabulary through advertisements, where they can easily understand Korean vocabulary and grammar rules, and it is difficult to measure the depth.

The Effects of Programme Context on Memory for Humorous Television Commercials

SummaryThis study investigated the effects of programme context on memory for humorous television advertisements in South Korean participants. Humorous and nonhumorous Korean advertisements were embedded within two programme contexts: humorous and nonhumorous. When the programme ratings of humour, enjoyment and involvement were higher, unaided recall was poorer. In addition, unaided recall of the advertisements was better when they were embedded within a nonhumorous programme. However, there was no significant programme‐advertisement interaction effect. Overall, both free and cued recall were higher for humorous advertisements than for the nonhumorous advertisements. The findings are discussed in terms of cultural differences and changes in television programmes and advertising over time.Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Reflections of Culture: An Analysis of Korean Advertising Appeals from 1980’s to 2010’s

Objectives: The objective of this paper was to investigate the modernization of cultural values in Korean culture during its transition into a more westernized society in the past 30 years. Methods/Statistical analysis: A longitudinal content analysis of 320 ads analyzed how cultural values in Korean magazine advertising messages have changed as Korea has developed from a traditional to an industrial country. Findings: During this period, the study shows, modern advertising claims (individualistic advertising message claims, materialistic advertising message claims, future orientation claims) became increasingly used, whereas traditional advertising appeals (collectivistic advertising message claims, humanistic advertising message claims, past orientation claims) became decreasingly appeared in Korean magazine advertisements. This study suggests that the usage of Korean advertising message mirrors the cultural dynamics and economical changes of Korea.

A Content Analysis of Green Advertising Claims in Korea

This research examined the use of green advertising claims in Korean print advertisements. A content analysis was done for 18,671 environmental claims made in Korean advertising from 2013 to 2015. Each advertisement was coded according to five categories: green advertising, advertising type, green claim type, advertiser type, and product type. During this period, the study showed that only 0.8% of Korean print advertisements used environmental appeals. Green ad appeals in Korean advertisements were used to promote image, product quality, and public, in that order. The results of the study suggest that even though green issues are increasingly important in Korean society, there has been a lack of green advertising claims in Korean print advertisements. The findings of this research offered researchers a unique view of this field and some directions for future study in the field of green advertising appeals in print advertisements.

Cosmetics Advertisements in Women's Magazines: a Cross-Cultural Analysis of China and Korea

We analyzed the content of cosmetics advertisements in women's magazines published in China and Korea and compared the Chinese ideal of beauty and psychosocial values to those of Korea. Our analysis of 341 advertisements showed that 62% of Korean advertisements were for domestic brands, and 46.2% depicted Korean models, with 19.3% depicting white models, whereas 75% of the Chinese cosmetics advertisements were for international brands, and 26.5% of them featured Chinese models, with 32.7% depicting white models. The results indicate that advertisers in the Chinese magazines more strongly presented Western images as ideals of beauty than did advertisers in Korean magazines. We also found that a high number of cosmetics advertisements in the Chinese magazines contained price information and emphasized psychosocial values, such as activeness and self-confidence, which were less common in advertisements in the Korean magazines. The results imply that Chinese consumers expect concrete product benefits and are more likely to aspire to Western-type beauty than are Korean consumers.

Korean Advertising Practitioners’ Perspectives on Celebrity Endorsement

Practitioners’ perspectives have been neglected to some extent. Research on practitioners’ perspectives is important because it will provide valuable information, especially on how theories have been reflected in practice. The study investigates Korean advertising practitioners’ perspectives on celebrity endorsement in advertising campaigns. By comparing the perspective between advertising practitioners and that from their counterparts on the client side, this study may provide insights into their respective roles in advertising campaigns. This study finding suggests that Korean advertising practitioners consider a celebrity's likeability as the most important criterion when selecting a celebrity endorser. The most important reason why they employ a celebrity endorser is that celebrity endorsement helps generate awareness of the brand. In addition, concerns over celebrity endorsement as well as limitations and suggestions for future research have been discussed.

Politics of Sex Appeal in Advertising

This article is an ethnographic exploration of how gender ideologies were negotiated in the South Korea of the 2000s, in advertising texts and in advertising workplaces. Advertising has been criticized for reproducing gender stereotypes, and it is easy to assume that it is men within advertising agencies who are responsible for the objectifying and sexualizing portrayals of women. Yet behind some of the raciest South Korean advertising campaigns were ambitious women, who not only eagerly repeated the marketing adage that “sex sells” but also, provocatively, attempted to obliterate the lingering patriarchal norms and double sexual standards—with sexualized advertising. This article examines the politics of sex appeal in contemporary South Korean advertising by drawing on participant observation at an advertising agency, interviews, and public discourse analysis. Having situated the women's interventions within the cultural–historical context of South Korea, I, first, show how women's embrace of the sex-appeal aesthetic was a strategy to succeed in a male-dominated work environment and, second, detail how fighting gender discrimination with sex-appeal advertising was a profoundly contradictory project. I suggest that the politics of sex appeal in advertising was symptomatic of how women's struggles for equality were collapsing into neoliberal post-feminist sensibility.

한국 연예인 광고모델 속성이 중국 의류제품과 전자제품 광고효과에 미치는 영향

This study examined the effects of Korean celebrity advertising models on the advertising effectiveness for Chinese brands by comparing apparel products with electronic products. In addition, this study explored the effects of gender and monthly expenses on the evaluation of Korean celebrity advertising models. This study targeted 388 Chinese university students in China. The results show that Korean advertising models consist of five attributes (familiarity, visibility, credibility, similarity, and attractiveness) and that advertising effectiveness consists of three factors (attitude toward the advertisement, attitude toward the brand, and purchase intention). The impact of these five advertising model attributes on advertising effectiveness differ for apparel and electronic products. The results also indicate gender and expense differences in the evaluation of Korean celebrity models. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of the results along with potential limitations and future research directions.

The mid-20th century witnessed a wide spread of Korean culture in Japan, China and Southeast Asia and China now has become the biggest trade partner and export market, as well as the No. 1 source of import and the biggest investment country of Korea. With the spreading of the Korean popular culture in China, brand loyalty to Korean products is improved. Taking the Chinese market as the basis, this research aims to make an analysis of the implications of 'Korean Wave', Korean advertisements and the image of Korea on brand loyalty to cosmetics made in Korea. To achieve the research aim, questionnaires were used in conducting the survey, mainly in Beijing. Excluding the invalid ones, altogether 180 questionnaires were collected, based on which an empirical analysis was carried out on the correlation between 'Korean Wave', effects of Korean advertisements, image of Korea, brand recognition, and brand loyalty to products made in Korea. The major analyzing tools are SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0. The findings are as follows: 1. Korean films, dramas, and attachment for Korean movie stars (representative of 'Korean Wave') all have a positive influence on brand loyalty. Recognition of the country image of Korea, to some extent, also has positive implications on brand recognition. 2. Empirical analysis assists in the testing of the degree of recognition and attachment of cosmetics made in Korea, as well as brand loyalty to them.
