Pop Cosmopolitanism: NSYNC Rasa Korea

Selama 200 tahun terakhir, peradaban dan budaya barat mendominasi dunia. Mulai dari Mickey Mouse hingga Beyonce, kegemaran terhadap pop culture barat sudah menjadi hal yang lumrah. Namun, pada tahun 1990-an, peradaban dan budaya timur juga mulai menunjukkan eksistensinya di ranah global. Salah satu guncangan terbesar berasal dari negeri gingseng, Korea Selatan, pada pertengahan tahun 1999. Korea mulai mencuri perhatian masyarakat dunia dengan pergerakan budaya Korea dari segi musik (K-Pop), konten audiovisual (TV drama dan film), juga gaya hidup (K-Beauty dan gadgets). Pergerakan ini disebut sebagai ‘Hallyu’, yang artinya korean culture wave.

Tentunya kalian juga pasti familiar dengan beberapa pengaruh Korea di industri hiburan. Pernah dengar drama Full House dan Stairway to Heaven? Atau pernah nonton musik video dari Super Junior dan Girls Generation? Sejak awal tahun 2000-an, konten hiburan Korea mulai menyebar dengan pesat. Pengaruh ini tidak hanya dirasakan di Asia, tetapi juga di Amerika. Beberapa musisi asal Korea pun telah memasuki tangga lagu populer Amerika, yaitu Billboard, seperti BTS, Big Bang, dan WINNER.

Sejatinya, bentuk boyband dan girlband di industri musik bukan lah hal yang eksklusif berasal dari Korean Pop. Di Amerika, beberapa grup musik seperti NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, dan Destiny’s Child sudah lebih dulu populer. Yang mendefinisikan musik K-Pop bukanlah bentuk boyband atau girlband-nya, tetapi musiknya yang berbahasa Korea.

Kegemaran terhadap Korean Pop yang telah mengglobal ini dapat dikaitkan dengan konsep Pop Cosmopolitanism. Menurut Henry Jenkins (2006), Pop Cosmopolitan merupakan orang-orang yang merangkul dan menggemari media yang populer secara global yang dapat menjadi bentuk pelarian atau jalan keluar dari budaya atau media yang digemari oleh sebagian besar komunitas lokal. Bentuk kegemaran terhadap K-Pop sebenarnya tidak hanya dengan sekadar mengonsumsi kontennya saja, tetapi juga kemudian mendorong minat untuk ikut terlibat di dalam industrinya.

Dilansir dari laman NBC News, pada awal tahun 2015 lalu untuk pertama kalinya dalam sejarah K-Pop, terbentuk sebuah boyband bernama EXP Edition yang mengklaim diri mereka sebagai boyband Korea asal Amerika pertama. EXP Edition beranggotakan empat orang member bernama Koki Tomlinson, Frankie DaPonte, Hunter Kohl, dan Sime Kosta yang seluruhnya bukan merupakan orang Korea. Boyband ini awalnya dibentuk sebagai proyek eksperimen tiga mahasiswi Columbia University di New York, yakni Bora Kim, Karin Kuroda, dan Samantha Shao, yang ingin meneliti fenomena Korean Wave dan kesuksesan boyband K-Pop di ranah global. Tidak hanya beraktivitas di New York, boyband ini juga melakukan official debut di Korea Selatan. EXP Edition merilis single berjudul ‘Feel Like This’ yang dinyanyikan dalam bahasa Korea walaupun sebenarnya bahasa tersebut bukan bahasa utama mereka.

Di industri musik Korea sendiri, penambahan anggota boyband atau girlband yang berasal dari luar Korea sebetulnya sudah menjadi taktik yang sengaja dilakukan untuk menarik perhatian masyarakat global. Namun, belum pernah ada grup K-Pop yang semua anggotanya tidak berasal dari Korea seperti EXP Edition. Kemunculan mereka tentunya menarik banyak perhatian, baik dari dalam maupun luar Korea. Respon tersebut dapat dilihat dari komenter netizen di akun YouTube EXP Edition. Pada foto di bawah ini dapat dilihat bahwa sebagian besar netizen memberikan respon negatif.

Dari respon-respon negatif ini, terlihat bahwa masuknya EXP Edition ke industri K-Pop masih dipandang sebagai sesuatu yang asing meskipun K-Pop itu sendiri sebetulnya sudah diakui secara global. Fakta bahwa anggota EXP Edition merupakan orang-orang yang berasal dari Barat tetapi menyanyikan lagu dalam bahasa Korea tidak bisa diterima oleh sebagian orang. Namun demikian, ada beberapa orang yang tetap mendukung EXP Edition. Bahkan, debut mereka di Korea Selatan disambut dengan baik.

Tebentuknya EXP Edition yang anggota-anggotanya tidak berasal dari Korea tetapi ikut memproduksi produk budaya Korea melalui K-Pop ini merupakan salah satu bentuk dari Pop Cosmopolitanism yang menunjukkan kekuatan pergerakan Hallyu dalam mempengaruhi perilaku masyarakat global. Ini juga membuktikan bahwa sekarang bukan hanya budaya Barat yang dapat mendominasi, tetapi budaya Timur juga sudah memiliki pengaruh besar di ranah global.

Serie A Best XI: Ronaldo leads the line but who else is in?

The best of the Premier League versus the best of La Liga versus the best of Serie A versus the best of the Bundesliga. Who would win?

It's a classic debate, and Sportsmail will attempt to provide an answer. One of our reporters, based in turn in England, Italy Germany and Spain are picking a dream team to represent that country's league.

Then, finally, we'll send them all into battle in a round-robin tournament, with the top two teams progressing to a final that will decide which league really has the best players of all.

First up, our all-star was Premier League combined XI – and now it's Sheridan Bird's best chance to pick the best from Series A …

Series A is home to some of the biggest stars in the world including Cristiano Ronaldo

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan)

The last season and a half have been rotten for the Rossoneri wonderboy. Gaffes, fans questioning his loyalty and a bit too much talk from his bombastic agent Mino Raiola. But with Gianluigi Buffon and Alisson out of Serie A, 19-year-old 'Gigio' is arguably the best stopper in the division. Time to rediscover the form that made him a teenage star (and brought him a stunning new £ 5.3m a year contract).

Donnarumma has been billed as the long-term heir to Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon

Center back: Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli)

On his day, which is most days, the Senegalese is insuperable. In the air or on the deck, K2, as Napoli fans call him, wins every duel. The imposing No 26 has cut out the silly errors which once blotted his copybook. Easy to see why he is continually linked to a move to Premier League giant. His Napoli partner Raul Albiol is also a steadying, understated presence.

It is easy to see why Kalidou Koulibaly is constantly linked with a move to the Premier League

Center back: Milan Skriniar (Inter)

Not a lot was expected when Inter signed Skriniar from Sampdoria in summer 2016. But the quiet Slovakian has become a cult hero at the San Siro. Boasts excellent anticipation and positioning in 38 league games, illustrating his precision and judgment. From 'who?' To 'wow!' In a few short months.

Milan Skriniar has become a cult hero at Inter Milan since signing for them in summer 2016

Center back: Kostas Manolas (Roma)

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, they say. There is no danger of that happening at the Stadio Olimpico however. The undisputed leader of the Roma rearguard, his courage and athleticism, was vital to the Giallorossi's run the Champions League semi-final last season. A highly sought-after asset, fans are relieved Manolas is staying after recent sales or crowd idols Mohamed Salah, Raja Nainggolan and Alisson

Kostas Manolas is Roma's defensive rock and is among the best center-backs in Italy

Right wing back: Sime Vrsaljko (Inter)

A tireless and tenacious presence on Croatia's wing at the World Cup. Vrsaljko, on loan from Atletico Madrid, becomes Inter's best right-back since Maicon almost a decade ago. He'll have no problems settling in Italian football due to his highly successful spells at Genoa and Sassuolo between 2013 and 2016.

Sime Vrsaljko is easily Inter Milan's best right-back since they had the Brazilian Maicon

Left wing back: Leonardo Spinazzola (Juventus)

Recent Italy debutant Spinazzola is back with Juventus after a hugely successful loan spell at Atalanta. The right-footer is a buccaneering embodiment of the modern wing-back. He has tasks in the side but it will be fascinating to see how he performs for the champions. Napoli's ever-improving Elseid Hysaj also shone last season.

Leonardo Spinazzola is back at Juventus after a loan spell

Center midfield: Radja Nainggolan (Inter)

Last season was not the Belgian's best with Roma. But he still showed enough bite to convince Inter to sign him in July. The 'Ninja' should be fresh after missing the World Cup, and when he is on song, few midfielders across Europe can match his energy, determination and versatility. Honorable mention to Napoli's buzzing Brazilian Allan.

Radja Nainggolan is a controversial player off the pitch but his talent is not in doubt on it

Center midfield: Miralem Pjanic (Juventus)

The Bosnian is Juve's brain, and a lot of tougher than his slender frame suggests. Others hog the limelight, but Pjanic is crucial to the Bianconeri. He was banned for the Turin's first team of Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, and they lost 3-0. That is no coincidence.

Miralem Pjanic is the brain of Juventus' side in central midfield and is a tough player

No 10: Paulo Dybala (Juventus)

If this summer was Lionel Messi's last World Cup, Argentina need not worry too much. Dybala is beginning to marry consistency to his impeccable skill, deadball prowess and high-speed dribbling. Whisper it quietly, but he would not look out of place at Camp Nou. Lazio's Luis Alberto is calcio's next-best magician 'in the hole'.

Paulo Dybala has been hailed as one of the great young talents in European football

Center forward: Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)

You've heard of this guy, right? He turned Manchester United back into Champions League powerhouses, and smashed a host of records in Spain with Real Madrid. The winger-turned-striker has been impressed during his short time in Italy. He has helped fill every stage he travels to.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already impressed in flashes since joining Juventus in the summer

Center forward: Mauro Icardi (Inter)

Another player who was a shock omission from the World Cup. Argentine hitman Icardi is the most opportunistic, predatory striker in Serie A. The Inter captain has scored 100 goals in 159 league appearances in the legendary blue and black stripes. Often thrives on scraps, so if Inter can augment their creativity this season to provide him with more chances, the sky is the limit.

Mauro Icardi has not hit top form but scored a key Champions League goal against Tottenham

Substitutes :

Wojciech Szczesny

A rightful heir to Gianluigi Buffon's crown at Juventus and no longer the occasional error-prone player from Arsenal.

Giorgio Chiellini

Helped by Leonardo Bonucci's return to Juventus and has helped them dominate the early part of the

Dries Mertens

Converted into a striker by Maurizio Sarri, he has plundered goals in front or just over the last year.

Douglas Costa

A dynamic winger who adds more threat to a juventus side stocked full of it.

Gonzalo Higuain

The Argentinian was a surprise departure from Juventus but has settled at AC Milan.

Gonzalo Higuain was one of the unlucky few to miss out on a place in the final Serie A XI
