Performance Studies international (PSi) is delighted to award Hakyung Sim (Seoul National University) the Routledge Prize for 2018. The Routledge Award is awarded annually for a research presentation at the PSi conference by a graduate student registered at an institution in the host country of the conference. This year we are delighted to award this to Hakyung Sim for her paper “The Network of K-Pop Performance: Artistic and Non-Artistic Performances in K-Pop.” The judges were impressed by her close, detailed analysis of the K-pop boy band BTS’s performances onstage, online and elsewhere. Her full abstract can be read here: http://psi2018-daegu.com/PSi%202018_%20Program%20and%20abstract%20book_Final.pdf
