Abstract

Since SNS has gained its popularity as the means of diffusion of Hallyu, this study aims to examine the relationships between SNS use and Hallyu. In particular, this study explored how the use of SNS as a tool for obtaining information about Korean entertainment influence Chinese attitude toward Hallyu and Hallyu contents In doing so, the study conducted the case of Sina Weibo, the most leading SNS in China. The survey questionnaire was administrated to college students who use Sina Weibo in China. Two hundreds forty one surveys were included in the final analysis. The result indicated that Sina Weibo use is strong predictor influencing attitude toward Hallyu and Hallyu contents. The more students use Sina Weibo to get Korean entertainment information the more they have positive attitude toward Hallyu contents and acceptance of Hallyu in their life. In addition, the study found that attitude toward Hallyu(in terms of acceptability) depends on the level of activity in the Sina Weibo among college students in China. In other words, the passive users (e.g. lurking) are more likely to adopt Hallyu rather than active users (e.g. people who are more likely to retweet Korean entertainment information on Sina Weibo or click 'like). Based on these findings the implications, limitations and directions for future studies are discussed.

이 연구는 한류 확산 도구로서 SNS가 대중화됨에 따라 SNS 이용과 한류간에 어떠한 관계가 있는 지 조사하고자 하였다. 특히 한국엔터테인먼트에 대한 정보를 얻기 위한 도구로서의 SNS 이용이 한류 및 한류 콘텐츠에 대한 중국인의 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보기 위해 중국의 가장 대표적인 SNS 인 시나 웨이보의 사례를 분석하였다. 중국에서 Sina Weibo를 사용하는 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 총 240부를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 그 결과 Sina Waibo의 이용은 한류 및 한류 콘텐츠에 대한 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 중국 대학생들이 Sina Weibo를 통하여 한국의 연예 정보를 많이 얻을수록 한류 콘텐츠에 대한 긍정적인 태도와 한류의 수용이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 한류 수용에 대한 한류 태도는 시나 웨이보 이용자들의 활동 수준에 달려 있음을 발견했다. 즉, 시나 웨이보의 수동적인 사용자 (예를 들어 눈으로 읽기만 하는 경우)는 활동적인 사용자 (예를 들어 Weibo에서 한국 오락 정보를 다시 리트 윗하거나 '좋아요'를 클릭하는 경우)에 비해 한류를 수용할 가능성이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 이 연구의 함의 및 한계점, 후속 연구에 대한 제언을 논의하였다.
