Some of us are wide awake and others look like they rolled out of bed the minute before. Today…

The song, “Be My Escape”, by Relient K, uses one main poetic device to convey the story that the speaker is telling: metaphor. Throughout the poem, the speaker illustrates that they are locked inside a house. We are told that they know how to get out, because they know who has the key, however they are afraid of what lies beyond their safe walls out in the world.

The aegyo that the female celebrities portray to their audience supports the cliché damsel in distress mentality and the need for male protection. The gendered image of females in the media embodies the notion that young women are expected to portray themselves to their male counterparts as fragile and helpless. The aegyo behavior that South Korean popular culture portrays perpetuates the sexualisation of young girls. Groups such as Lovelyz and GFRIEND have music videos—both of which have more…
