This study is aimed to review how receptors of popular music in our society have created community by focusing on the concept of ‘community’, and what the features and meaning of such community are. In particular, there was a review on the enjoyment of popular music by undergraduate students with the use of an ethnography method.
For instance, undergraduate students’ community experience by enjoying popular music can be divided into going to a Noraebang(singing room) and going to a performance hall. However, community created through activities of going to a singing room and a performance hall is temporary and fluid. In addition, it is not community of life but community of the same taste and emotion. Nonetheless, the community experience through popular music holds a significant meaning in that it is a warm and humane community experience of the past.
The community experience through popular music is a happy regression to the past, and people can gain energy to live a life through such experiences. This study is meaningful in that such facts were discovered through a positive research.
