SUMMARY:

Pop culture is built by various clichés that cross us daily, and South Korean pop music is no different. K-pop, as a project of modernity and dissemination of a certain idea of Koreanity, spreads around the world, triggering clichés and modifying very well-defined racial and gender horizons. We found in the K-pop cover dance a fruitful terrain to observe the incorporations of the Korean Wave values, because as Diana Taylor (2013) points out, with the notions of archive and repertoire, the body is also an instance of transmission of knowledge that is updated with each performance, and when we set our sights on the covers of K-pop in Recife, we find fans marked by what Butler (2019) recognizes as precariousness, bodies subject to different situations of social marginalization and prejudice, which finds in their condition of shared precariousness a link of solidarity, allowing the sum and crossing of these struggles, claiming for themselves the public space. The research is developed based on a recognition of the standards of body, identity, race and sexuality crystallized in the South Korean pop through the observation of established examples in the market, such as the group Girls ’Generation. The perception of capillarity is continued when we analyze dance covers that use the tag "KPOP IN PUBLIC" on the social video sharing network YouTube, where we find assimilations of an aesthetic of cuteness, the aegyo, which starts to operate under the key of the “seal”, of exaggeration, as it is incorporated by black and Latino gay men. The process narrows when I follow the Black Unicorn group, which materializes the various marks of precariousness pointed out by Butler (2019) and brings out the notion of solidarity outlined by the author when this group of young precarious lives gather to dance and update as choreographies of the K-pop with their devious bodies.
