AB - This study examines how Chuncheon’s emotional resources and sense of place have been formed and transformed through Korean popular songs and K-pop, and explores the city’s potential as a glocal platform city. It focuses on Soyanggang Maiden (1970), Train to Chuncheon (1989), and recent K-pop-related cases.
Soyanggang Maiden contributed to the formation of Chuncheon’s emotional sense of place by associating the natural imagery of the Soyang River with longing, waiting, and loss. In contrast, Train to Chuncheon reimagined the city through mobility, youth, memory, and nostalgia rather than through direct representations of its landscape. These songs thus accumulated emotional resources associated with Chuncheon in different ways. In the K-pop era, places are increasingly made visible and reinterpreted through music videos, transnational fandom, fan mobility, and digital media. Cases involving BTS and TWICE demonstrate how Chuncheon can acquire new cultural meanings through global popular culture and fan participation. By tracing these transformations, this study shows how Chuncheon’s emotional resources have been continuously reconstructed across changing forms of popular culture. At a time when K-Culture is gaining greater global prominence, this cultural accumulation suggests Chuncheon’s potential to develop into a glocal platform city where local identity interacts with global cultural flows.
