Second-Generation Korean Americans and Transnational Media is a much needed study of the way Korean Americans consume and interact with Korean media. Transnational Korean media, such as K-pop, significantly influences the way Korean Americans make sense of themselves and their place within U.S. and Korean societies.

At a time when culture wars rage, a nuanced and empirical understanding of ethno-cultural identifications and cultural practices such as the one offered by David Oh is priceless. Second-Generation Korean Americans and Transnational Media is a benchmark for the study of transnational media consumption.
