Globalization drives Englishization and multilingual repertoires across news, advertising, K‑Pop, and mobility discourses, shaping neoliberal, consumer‑citizen subjectivities framed as globally oriented success stories. Language operates as a technology of citizenship and a resource for locating belonging, race, kinship, and migration in media representations and transnational spaces. Cross-border media flows and transnational pop culture reframes national identity through localization and cultural diplomacy. Historical Significance: Across colonial, modern, and postcolonial contexts, studies trace how colonial modernity and imperial networks conditioned authorship, readership, and memory in Korean literature, while interlingual transmissions among Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese literatures reveal shifting regional circuits and East Asian literary histories. The debates on Japanese settler colonialism and Kanshi-era motifs recalibrate Korea's early modern literary self‑conception within empire and globalization.
