We explored the need for an ecosystem approach based on relational systems when conducting research on South Korea’s cultural industry. We used Mollard’s (2009. L’ingeniere culturelle. Paris: PUF) idea of the participants in the French cultural system as a key reference and extended it to the notion of the platform, which is the core concept of South Korea’s cultural industry ecosystem (CIE). We also utilized the idea of the “semiotic square of consumption values” from Floch to explicate each platform and participant, which play a significant role in South Korea’s CIE. By defining a role rooted in the relationship and values for each subject (i.e., the production, consumption, authority, and intermediary subjects), we aimed to better understand the ecosystem of the cultural industry and focused on K-pop as a specific aspect of South Korea’s cultural sector by identifying the current identity of each participant.

韩国文化产业生态系统的符号学模型：K-pop 产业

在对韩国的文化产业进行研究时，我们探讨了对基于关系系统的生态系统方法的需求。我们使用了 Mollard 的 (2009.文化工程师. 巴黎：PUF）的想法参与者们在法国文化体系中作为关键参考并将其扩展到概念该平台，这是韩国文化产业生态系统（CIE）的核心理念。我们也借用了Floch的“消费价值的符号方块”的概念来阐述在韩国CIE中扮演重要角色的各个平台和参与者。通过为每个主体（即生产、消费、权威和中介主体）定义根植于关系和价值的角色，我们旨在更好地理解文化产业的生态系统，并将 K-pop 作为文化产业的一个特定方面韩国文化部门通过识别每个参与者的当前身份。
