How does this develop themes and
debates explored within the lectures of this module? (Please put down the
revised short introduction to your project based on the one in blog 2. Remember
that the introduction should include the purpose of your research project,
significance and key concept(s) that may be useful for your
analysis.)
In the start of 00s, our idols are Twins,
Eason Chan, Yung ChoYee, etc. We will buy CDS, or magazine. However, in these
few years K-pop start gets into Hong Kong, many teenage start to listen K-pop
instead of Canto-pop. Especially, the news appears the most in the teenage
magazine is Korea singer, not Chinese singer anymore.
From this research i would like to find out K-pop have
what special characteristics, example, melody, music video, the package of
idol, etc. can get attention from Hong Kong teenage.

Dear Jodi, The research question is clear enough. Please start doing the interviews. The second part is supposed to be the introduction which needs to be polished. There is no need to talk about the local stars in detail as they are not the focus. As you already included some references, why not make use of the content and the concepts mentioned in these articles in the introduction? In fact, you need a theoretical framework. Please review 'encoding/decoding' model covered in Media Culture 1. This is relevant and applicable to your research.
