Throughout the entertainment industry in South Korea, there are multiple entertainment companies. However, there are the main and well-known companies that have produced legendary stars for the consumers’ worldwide. The most well known companies included SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and lastly JYP Entertainment. For something to be considered art, the consumer should consider the effort and work being prepared upon. Another consideration would include the presentation of the art piece itself. Lastly, who the artist is should also be considered.
Due to the large amount of entertainment companies, there are numerous girl groups and guy groups both striving to become the next big Hallyu star(s). From SM Entertainment, the most popular would be Girls Generation. Right behind these 9 girls would be TVXQ (2003), Super Junior (2005), SHINee(2008), f(x)(2009), and the most recent would be EXO (2012). As for YG Entertainment there are Se7en (2003), Big Bang (2006), 2NE1 (2009) and PSY (2010). Lastly is JYP Entertainment, the stars includes, founder and star Park Jin-Young (1994), Wonder Girls (2007), 2AM (2008, 2PM (2008), miss A (2010), and lastly 15& (2012). The groups among the 3 companies are known to be rivals. Girls Generation is still known to be a rival of 2NE1 till this day. Unfortunately, prior to becoming rivals or a star even, these entertainment companies requires “years of training as trainees” (JangMinHo), where each member are required to expertise their dancing skills as well as their vocals.
In order to reach the success of a Hallyu star, each must become a trainee of an entertainment company at a very young age. Some say the younger the better. Unfortunately, becoming a trainee at a very young age is not the on...

... (Jeff). With this, the girls got a boost of popularity and is finally known world wide. Going from teenagers in their trainee years to Hallyu starts may not be easy. The whole process involved hundreds, maybe even thousands of practice time and sacrifices in order to be where they are now. The transformation physically has changed and their talents have also improved. Luckily, behind the camera and off the stage, these idols are still who there are before the popularity of kpop.

The Entertainment Industry is an expanding industry with numerous career opportunities especially for the quick learning students in today’s world. I chose to study the entertainment industry because I have always had a passion for it. I grew up with music always playing on the radio and if the radio was off, the television was tuned into some show. I know many people listen to music and watch television all the time, but there is so much more to this industry. Being so passionate has led me to studying specific things in the industry and learning the ins and outs of it, which is helping me to find a potential career. There are many people in the industry that I look up to and one person, who has made it in particular, is Debra Rathwell.
Conflict, particularly internal conflict, is something everyone has experienced at least once (or countless times) in their lives. People often struggle with choosing between what they want and what they should do. Lily Bart, the main character of Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth, epitomizes the want versus should conflict as she struggles to find her place in the aristocratic New York society of the late 19th century. Examining both Lily and her actions from the psychological approach to literary criticism allows the reader to discern how her inner war brought her to her death. The House of Mirth presents Lily Bart with several internal conflicts that are the root of her problems, and, ultimately, her downfall.
In Edith Wharton’s House of Mirth, protagonist Lily Bart is a beautiful woman who has been brought up to achieve one goal: marry a wealthy, well-placed man. Although Lily, twenty-nine when the novel opens, has had opportunities to do so, her true self has always recoiled from taking the step of marrying for money. The reader is able to witness the internal struggle occurring within Lily Bart throughout the course of this novel. Wharton’s use of

Wharton's writing consists of layers of irony which readers interpret by the actions of the Mrs. Slade and Mrs. Ansley. During the first scenario at the restaurant,
There is this idea currently surrounding the music industry, that in order for a woman to achieve success they will have to sexualize themselves. This idea is seen in the controversy surrounding Miley Cyrus with her new “movement” in order to strip the Disney Start Hanna Montana image. This controversy thickened after Miley’s Video Music Awards (VMA) performance this August. This year VMA’s is know for Miley Cyrus Twerking on stage with little clothing, a foam finger and dancing bears. Since the end of the performance the controversy over Cyrus grew like a wild fire all over the media outlets. The majority of people believe that Miley Cyrus is sexualizing her self in order to gain fans and supporters in the music industry. This idea of selling your body in this industry is not a new idea but dates back even before Miley Cyrus started her already long career as an entertainer. This idea of the sexualizing of women in the music industry does not stop with the performer or concert but it has a greater and lasting impact on the youth in this country.
The first art that interested me was the art of Indonesia which in this exhibit depicted the culture, history and art of Indonesian people. For instance, Bali a small island in the Indonesia valued most of its art based on the rich resources they occupied such as most art was composed of gold, diamond and sapphires which people of Bali believed that it will resemble their higher standards in the society. Art of Bali amazed me the most when it came to their “King’s crown” and “Queen’s crown” which was completely “fashioned in pure gold with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires” (Bali). The king’s crown was much simpler compare to queen’s crown which contained many varied of gold decorative that looked like gold flowers, and all of its designs such as rubies or sapphires were perfectly horizontally lined to each other that sort of depicted as a shiny necklace. The Bali’s art that I observed was very interesting know about the society they lived in those centuries with representation of their upscale society (Bali).
Groups consist of young adults who dream of becoming celebrities.Some unfortunately due to the loss of popularity disband or in more extreme cases, don’t even get the chance to perform before dismantling.
“They are liked and have such a huge following because of the diverse group of boys represented,” Kayla Jones stated in a personal interview. Despite their success in being number one in thirty-eight different countries, each member had his fair share of struggles before reaching his status in the Backstreet Boys (Gold Collector’s Series Entertainment Magazine). Leaving their mark on the world was not as easy as it may seem. Each member comes from a different background with influences ranging from Latin to even Blackfoot Indian (Krulik, 11). What brings such a young and talented group of guys together is their love and passion for music and the stage.
Defying the expectation is hard to do in a world so set in its ways. The only way through dark times is with the immersion of light and as Edith Wharton once said herself, “there are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” It was her privileged lifestyle that shaped her view of social class and as a writer it pushed her toward her social realist style, thus allowing her to depict the truths hiding in plain sight.
For the recent last decades, art market has become very popular with a boom in total sale revenue worldwide. People start to participate and pay attention to the art world more interactively and frequently. For example, art institutions have gained more admissions than ever before; museum visits surged globally and more people are willing to pursue an art-related career. Generally speaking, art world is broader than the art market. The art world is a overlapping subcultures held by a belief in art. They spread out globally but cluster in art capitals such as New York, London, Los Angeles, Berlin, and the emerging market such as Hong Kong, Beijing and Dubai. The market refers to the people who participate in the art business transaction that is artists, first and second market dealers, curators, collectors and auction houses experts. However in the business operation side, dealers are responsible for channeling and deflecting the power of all the other players, while critics, curators and artists are not directly involved in commercial activities on a regular basis. Most importantly, the art world is a sphere that the cultures and art works themselves play the most fundamental parts while wealth and powers also have a crucial influence on market.
Winter of sophomore year, the school began teeming with flyers for the musical Fame. One blustery Saturday afternoon, I ventured to the auditorium of my high school to see what our performing arts department had to offer. I sat, enamored, and told myself that next year at that time, I would be the one on stage. The one belting out notes, the one shimmering under the limelight.
In order to become a K-pop singer in Korea, it is not an easy thing. The company had been looking for trainees long time before they actually decided to introduce a boy group or girl group. The youngest trainee can be just around ten years old. For example, the youngest member of the new girl group “April ” is only 14 years old.[ ] And the selecting of trainees is not only limited to Korea. SM entertainment had been holding global auditions since 2006 which 300,000 performers have to compete for only 100 positions.[ ] Each trainee they picked has to be the best of the best and got pick

Vocalise was established as a luxury agency providing entertainment for high-end brands and projects. The company is also well-known for the exclusive luxury-branded quartets VOX String Quartet (VOX) and AMPER Quartet (AMPER) (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 in Appendix). However, Vocalise has been sending these groups to insignificant corporate events due to financial decisions. VOX was established as Singapore’s first pop-rock string quartet, known to have performed for major events such as Formula 1, Singapore Fashion Week and for luxury brands. Due to financial issues in the recent years, VOX has been playing for insignificant corporate events and weddings. With an unclear branding, Vocalise has not been able to differentiate and justify itself as a luxury
