An Examination on the Channel management of Taiwan ’s Korean Dramas in the Era of TV Globalization: A Cultural Proximity Perspective
Based on the cultural proximity theory, this study tried to explore the reasons that Korean dramas are popular in Taiwan. Three methods, content analysis, intensive interview on channel managers, and secondary data analysis, were adopted to collect data for the study. This study purposely selected 18 Korean Dramas that were showed in Taiwan as the study sample for content analysis, and classified these dramas into four types, (1) those that were both popular in Taiwan and South Korea, (2) those that were popular in Taiwan, but not popular in South Korea, (3) those that were popular in South Korea, but not popular in Taiwan, and (4) those that were not popular in both Taiwan and South Korea. The data analysis shows that the values emphasized in the four types of Korean Dramas were significantly different from each other, which is congruent with the assumptions of the cultural proximity theory. Furthermore, the intensive interviews discovered that the channel managers of Korean Dramas in Taiwan adopted several strategies to make Korean dramas more compatible with Taiwan ’s cultures so as to assure their popularity in Taiwan. More detailed findings were discussed in the paper.
